Germany’s Sabrina Arnold made the HH Sheikh
Mansoor Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Global Arabian
Horse Flat Racing Festival-supported three-day
Brussels Equestrian Endurance Masters (BEEM)
at the Bois de la Cambre in Sonian Forests in the
Belgian capital of Brussels her very own.
On Thursday’s opening day she won the 160-km
Four-star European Championship (CH-EU-E)
endurance ride and then closed Saturday’s final
day (August 19, 2017) with another dominating
performance to win the 120-km FEI World
Championship of the Young Horses (CH-M-E-
7Y), on August 19.
The 37-year-old German who is based in France
steered Tammam La Lizonne, a 7-year-old bay
mare, to a superb win in the 120-km event and
proved that she is an expert with young horses.
Last year Arnold had also won the HH Sheikh
Mansoor Festival-supported FEI European Endurance
Championships for Young Horses in Negrepelisse
(FRA) with the seven-year-old Tsagan
Nour.
In Saturday’s ride, Arnold and Tammam La Lizonne
were third after the first loop and after
that led all the way to win the 120-km ride in 6
hours eight minutes and 50 seconds. The next
four spots in the top five went to riders from four
different countries with Elisabeth Hardy of Belgium
riding Aduir Folie doing the hosts proud by
finishing second in 6:17.41.
Portugal’s Ana Barbas on Fuico, Estonia’s Keiu
Oras on Penelope and French rider Alexis Terral
on Sky Kid took the next three spots in the ride
which ended up with 12 riders completing on
their horses aged seven and under.
