Boston STH and Denise Nekeman win U25 Jumping Amsterdam

The top combination Denise Nekeman and Boston STH convincingly won the U25 Cup at Jumping Amsterdam last night. The Johnson son Boston STH was auctioned as a foal at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag.

Denise Nekeman and Boston STH drove a fantastic score of 72,75% and are therefore more than one percent ahead of the competition in the Zegwaard Sewer Stopping U25 Cup. The end for Boston and Denise Nekeman seems far from in sight, because for tough exercises such as the passage and the substitutions every two, the combination scored 8's.

Yesterday in the international class for seven- and eight-year-old show jumpers, VDL Groep Elexia (Calvaro Z x Alexis Z) under top rider Leopold van Asten finished in second place. Last weekend, Mr. Europe (Mr. Blue x Cassini I) also did well in Drachten by finishing seventh in the 1.40m class under the saddle of Marc Houtzager.
