Gilles and Jade seem to be a good match. Wherever they appear, they always manage to grab prizes.This was also the case at the Mechelen Jumping, one of the most prestigious indoor jumping events held in Europe.

After their victory in the 1.40 category in the B-course with only 2 clear rounds as the final result on Friday, the duo Gilles Nuytens, barely 15 years old and Picobello Jade, 8 years old, managed to finish in a nice 3rd place in the Grand Prix for Juniors and Young Riders. They were in fact 9 seconds faster than the ultimate winner; but they were unfortunately penalized due to knocking down one bar at the end of the set course.

Gilles can look back on a fantastic weekend with a lot of new experiences. For them, these results are undoubtedly the icing on the cake of a fantastic season.
