Scott Brash wins CSI3* and 5* Grand Prix in Doha again

Exactly 14 days ago, Scott Brash won the CSI3* Grand Prix in Doha with Hello Chadora Lady and the CSI5* with Hello Jefferson. Today, same time, same place, different horses. With his jumping wonder Hello Folie, the Brit makes the competition in the three-star tour look old. He dominates the five-star tour with Hello Mango.

One like no other

Hello Folie, the full sister to the French star sire Candy de Nantuel with the incredible athleticism(you can find out more about her here), just played with the poles in the 1.50 meter Grand Prix. She flew to victory in 40.81 seconds ahead of the Egyptian rider Abdel Said on Wathnan Zasou Vom Claashof (41.23), competing for Belgium, and the US rider Kristen Vanderveen on Bull Run’s Jireh (41.54).

Janne Friederike Meyer-Zimmermann and My Lady Lavista were also among the ten double clear rounds. They jumped to fifth place in 43.38 seconds.

Also placed 13th after a knockdown in the jump-off: Philipp Weishaupt and Callao L by Congress. Weishaupt has had the nine-year-old Westphalian gelding bred by Kai Ligges under the saddle for a while now. He has belonged to the Beerbaum Stables since 2023 and boss Ludger Beerbaum initially presented him himself. Weishaupt took him over at the beginning of last year and in May he became the property of Weishaupt’s patron Alice Lawaetz.

First international victory for Hello Mango

Beyond the sensation of winning two Grand Prix twice, Scott Brash must have been particularly pleased with the performance of his eleven-year-old KWPN mare Hello Mango. The Untouchable daughter competed in her first five-star competitions last year, not a handful of which were over 1.60 meters. And she has never won an international show jumping competition. Today she took her first international victory directly over a 1.60 meter CSI5* course. Or over two courses, as there was also a jump-off. Nine pairs reached the round against the clock.

Here Hello Mango delivered one of five clear rounds. At 44.47 seconds, she was even faster than her colleagues with knockdowns.

Austria’s Gerfried Puck on Naxcel V was delighted with second place (44.92). Abdulrahman Aljajhi and Ventago took third place for Saudi Arabia (45.04).

Janne Friederike Meyer-Zimmermann and her DSP stallion Cascais (eleven-year-old by Colestus) missed out on the podium by a paltry hundredth of a second. They finished fourth with a penalty-free time of 45.05 seconds. A blink of an eye that made a difference of 16,250 euros.
