With a view of the Eiffel Tower, the past weekend saw jumping at the very highest level and Gilles Thomas and his horses also performed at a particularly high level. On Friday, Gilles won a 1.50m class with Qalista Dn. And a day later they were invited to take their place fourth in the prize-giving ceremony. This daughter of Emerald van't Ruytershof from the BWP (Belgian Warmblood) line 80 was born in the stables of Wim De Nul. Ermitage Kalone finished in eleventh place. A time fault kept Gilles and the stallion out of the jump-off, but Ermitage once again demonstrated his exceptional class on French soil.
