the conditions are great and Katanga always jumps excellently here. At the first show of the year, she immediately jumped clear. Last week she did so again in a five-star class. The horses should be a bit better prepared here than in Oliva. Over here, 150 cm fences are jumped in any event. Next weekend there is another CSI5* and Katanga can show her potential again. She is in good shape and I hope she can keep that up for a while. Breaks alternated with intensive training and competitions is an ideal mix for me in terms of preparation." Later this week, Nicola Philippaerts will therefore not be in Doha. He will start the Global Champions Tour courses later. "It could be that we board in Mexico or Miami, but it could also be later. The final schedule is not decided yet. I will return to Belgium in early April to then be ready in May for the first big European appointment: the GP and Nations Cup in Rome", Nicola Philippaerts concludes.
