PRETTY WOMAN: WILLEM GREVE ARE THE WINNERS IN GERMANY & WINNERS IN SPAI - LONGINES FEI JUMPING WORLD CUP

It was an afternoon full of emotion at Casas Novas. After the Prosegur Security Grand Prix, won by Javier González Fraga, it was time for the most expected class of the weekend: the Casas Novas Longines FEI Jumping World Cup Grand Prix.

The crowd filled the indoor arena of Casas Novas, and 40 binomies entered the court for a 1.60 m class that would test their skill, speed, and handiness

After a first round of extremely high level, only seven pairs qualified for a jump-off that promised to be exciting until the very last jump.

With a time of 43.76 seconds and a flawless round riding Pretty Woman van’t Paradijs N.O.P, Willem Greve secured a first place that none of his rivals were able to take from him. The rider from Haaks-bergen showcased his talent and experience to take the Grand Prix victory in A Coruña. Another great victory after his performance in Stuttgart last November.

Greve received a Longines watch from Elena Orozco, Brand Manager of Longines Spain, and the Grand Prix Trophy from Flora Pérez on behalf of Casas Novas.

The Dutch rider expressed how pleased he was with Pretty Woman’s performance at this event, highlighting her ability and strength. He also stated he was very proud to compete at a venue like Casas Novas and to win a Grand Prix in A Coruña.

Second place went to Oda Charlotte Lyngvaer and Carabella vd Neyen Z, after an excellent jump-off round that stopped the clock at 44.70 seconds.

Simon Delestre claimed third place after a strong performance in both the first round and the jump-off. The French rider completed the course in 45.15 seconds with Golden Boy DK.

The best Spanish rider of the competition was Armando Trapote who, after delivering an almost per-fect first round, completed a thrilling jump-off that had the crowd on their feet several times. Riding Tornado VS with great skill, he made a champion’s time — only one rail separated him from victory in front of his home crowd.

The Casas Novas Equestrian Centre thus concludes another edition of its International Winter Jump-ing Competition, in the year of its 25th anniversary. A weekend full of excitement, during which hun-dreds of people enjoyed the world’s best riders, a wide gastronomic offer by renowned local restau-rants, and meticulously maintained facilities ideal for hosting events of this level.

A Coruña celebrates Willem Greve’s victory and begins the countdown to once again open its doors for the next International Jumping Competition, which will take place in July 2026.
