Hugo Simon (67 years old) wins Grand Prix show jumping

Published on 10 September 2009

 

During the CSI** at Gut Ising the 67-year-old Hugo Simon showed once
again that the equestrian world will still have to count with him. He won
the Grand Prix with his mare Ukinda followed by Max Kühner with Coer de
Lion. Jürgen Kraus with Cash was placed third. Furthermore, Simon won
another 1,45 m jumping competition with his horse Hors la Loi.

The Grand
Prix at Gut Ising was worth a price money of 20.000 Euros, so
that Simon will earn further points in the world ranking. Moreover, he
already won the Grand Prix in Offenburg. There is no other Grand Prix
winner known at this age who rides at such a high level.
