more, but we will take it step by step. I am not sure yet, but it is possible that I will take him to the Belgian Championship in three weeks at Zangersheide,” said Olivier Philippaerts. Ludo Philippaerts looks back with pride on the 50th edition of Spruce Meadows. “I think we can be very satisfied with a successful week. Olivier did well with a new horse. Thibault can be happy with his two podium finishes and his debut in the Nations Cup team. These are experiences that will help him in the rest of his career. Anthony competed in some smaller classes and did very well there too, including a fourth place. On arenas like these you need to learn how to ride, and he managed it very well. He gained valuable experience in those classes, which he can use when he steps up to the bigger competitions here. Nicola gave us the highlight on Sunday. Fifth in such a difficult Grand Prix, clear in the first round. The fact that no one managed a clear in the second round says enough. That we can play a role at this level makes me proud. The same goes for the Nations Cup on Saturday. To make it to the second round and finish fifth, I would have signed for that in advance. It was a fantastic week, a fantastic show, and we gained so much experience,” said Ludo Philippaerts.
