ANNA Camille Vlasov found herself back in familiar territory – in the prize money – under the lights last weekend at The Zengersheide International Show at Sentower Park in Opglabbeek, Belgium.

Vlasov rode her CAC Games mount, the 13-year old Belgian sport horse Gulliver du Saint-Chene, in Saturday’s 1.30m 2-phase special class. Millie and Gulli flew around Rafael Suarez’ (GBR) course fault free, finishing in 6th place out of a field of 61 riders. 

“He was so good,” said Vlasov, speaking of her mount. “He’s coming back now, his body is better and so much stronger.” 

Gulliver had been on rest recently, while Vlasov focused on riding other horses. Saturday’s performance qualified the pair for the next day’s 1.35m Grand Prix, with much the same results - a clear first round, a lightning-fast jump-off (with just 2.65 seconds separating the top six finishers), and a finish in the prize money, 6th again out of 56 competitors. Vlasov was all smiles and full of praise for her horse. “He was amazing,” she said.
