Lexington, KY- This past weekend was a busy weekend for Show Jumpers in Europe. Alice Debany-Clero won the grand prix at CSI2* Bonheiden (BEL). Debany-Clero is based in Paris and was riding Tin Tin, an eight-year-old Dutch Warmblood mare. The pair won the class with a time of 39.11 seconds in the jump-off. The second place duo, France’s Olivier Jouanneteau riding Kaeleme, had a jump-off time of 39.21 seconds. A tenth of a second was the deciding factor. The CSI2* Bonheiden (BEL) continues again this weekend, June 27-29, 2008.
