Guy Williams has won the Land Rover grand prix at the CSI5* in Bordeaux.
The British rider won the 1.60m grand prix with Caroline Philips’ Zaire at the weekend (7-9 February).
The pair had already taken the 1.45m speed class the day before.
Guy and the 10-year-old Zaire finished ahead of French rider Penelope Leprevost and Nice Stephanie.
“Zaire had a good week, he’s a horse that stays calm and won because he’s self assured,” said Guy.
“He is extremely respectful and when he jumps well in a smaller competition like the one he won yesterday (the speed class). He gains confidence and performs better in a bigger class like today.
“When I saw all those fast clear rounds in the jump-off, I told myself that it was not going to be easy. To win a grand prix in Bordeaux, you need a certain amount of luck, which I had today.”
