Jumping Indoor Maastricht opened this afternoon with the first international class. The victory in this 1.40m competition was for Jur Vrieling with Sissi van 't Schuttershof. This 11-year-old SBS mare by Nabab de Reve is a full sister to the well-known stallion Kashmir van 't Schuttershof. Friends of Jur bought the mare as a filly and produced several foals out of her by embryotransfer. After this they showed her in national competitions and as a 7-year-old she went to Jur Vrieling. Jur:"I have already won a lot of competitions with Sissi, she very quick and you really need that in a class like this. Today nine riders all clocked within less than a second from each other, it was really close. I think that everybody is glad that Jumping Maastricht is back on the international calendar, the organisation is very good and already from the beginning there is a super ambiance."

The Italian rider Luca Maria Moneta ranked second with Quarius and the British rider William Funnell and Billy Mexico came in third.
