John Whitaker wins Munchen Grand Prix
Monday 07 November 2011
Competing in Munich, Germany this week was Huddersfield based John Whitaker. Yesterday saw John compete the fourteen year old bay stallion Peppermill owned by Rebecca Stones in the Munchen Grand Prix.
Ten combinations went through to the jump off, but the first round proved very difficult with John been one of only two combinations going through on a score of zero. Causing less problems the jump off saw five clears with John and Peppermill being one of them coming home in 38.71 seconds to take the win.
The previous day also saw John in the prize money coming second in the 1.50m Sprehe Gold Cup. This time John partnered Dazzle II, a horse he jointly owns with Mandy Hall.
