Nicholas Touzaint may have won the CCI 2* at Lignières in central France this weekend but New Zealander Tim Price was delighted with his clear show jumping round and third place.
Tim Price and his beloved 19 year old horse Vortex claimed a spot on the podium with Tim saying that this may well be the horse’s swansong
“We’ll see how he feels in 2013 about coming out to compete again” said Tim “But he is a real favourite of ours”
Tim bought Vortex as a seven year old and competed him in New Zealand before selling him to Sweden then bought him back as a twelve year old. Since then he has competed him at Badminton, Pau and several other 3 and 4 Star events.
Eveline Bodenmüller of Switzerland riding Waldmann maintained her second place with a clear round
Another New Zealand rider Jesse Campbell won the Best 7 Year Old Horse Trophy with Lancelot 359 and this combination finished ninth in the 2*
Tim also finished 11th in CIC 1* riding Bango
