Gilles Thomas and his horses feel great at Brussels Stephex Masters
At the beautifully organized Brussels Stephex Masters, the Nieuwenhof horses and Gilles Thomas were feeling excellent. Luna van het Dennehof (Prince van de Wolfsakker x Quidam de Revel) and Gilles jumped to a great seventh place in the Rolex 5* GP with a particularly strong field of competitors including the top of the world. For the zeven-year-old Lavanoche T&L Z (Lavallino ter Klomp x Bentley vd Heffinck) there was a first place in the 1.45m class for seven- and eight-year-old horses. Feromas van Beek Z (Fantomas de Muze x Tangelo van de Zuuthoeve) jumped to a nice third place in a 1.45m class. Puskas de Kalvarie (9y) (Sea Coast Don't Touch Tiji Hero x For Pleasure) already showed nice sport on Thursday with a fourth place in a 1.40m class and on Saturday he jumped to a fifth place in the 1.45-class.
Next week Gilles travels to CSI4* Ascona with Elfra Van Beek Z and with Feromas Van Beek Z. The week after that follows at CSI4* Warsaw the final of the Nations League 2nd division. After that we will be at the start in Lanaken at the World Championship for young horses and the Belgian Championship.
