The category presented by Lautari is Italian with Paolo Adamo Zuvadelli

The ‘big’ competition on the third day of the CSIO 3* at Scuderia La Caccia — a two-round class with 1.50 m jumps, presented by Lautari — served as a qualifier for Sunday’s Grand Prix.

Fifty-two pairs lined up at the start and they all put on a great sporting show.

Under the category’s slogan, ‘Your future is together’, borrowed from the Lautari Community, which named the competition, only eight pairs managed to perform on the first course, designed by Paolo Rossato, without any faults.

As per the competition format, these pairs contested the victory in the second round alongside the fastest pairs who had incurred four penalties in the first round, making a total of thirteen starters.

On this second course only four pairs managed to achieve a double clear.

The top three were the Italian riders Paolo Zuvadelli with SM Moses CH, Matilde Bianchi with RR Carcom and Fabio Brotto with Go Bolensky delle Roane.

Zuvadelli and SM Moses produced a magnificent double clear round in 39.54 seconds, beating Bianchi and RR Carcom by a few hundredths of a second (39.91). Just one second from the leader, the Italian trio was completed by Brotto, who stopped the clock at 40.52 with the grey Go Bolensky delle Roane.

The only other double-clear round, scored by Suisse Christoph Konemann on Zensation 2 was just off the podium.
