Indonesian Horse Weekend & FEI/PSI Jumping Challenge Round Up

Seven teams representing seven provinces (East Borneo, Kaltim; DKI Jakarta; Jawa Barat; Sulawesi Utara; Sulawesi Selatan; Jawa Timur; Sumatera Selatan) competed in the Eventing. Only three teams completed the competition, the rest were eliminated during the cross-country or showjumping test.

Rahmat Natzir (East Borneo-Kaltim) posted a dressage score of of 51.5 penalty points earned aboard Kumala Reiner, an Arthayasa bred 7-year-old gelding which put him well into the lead from a starting field of 28 entries. Second went to Wempy Kaunang (Jawa Timur) on Sunny Boy with 56.7 points and third place went to Gutomo (Jawa Barat) on Morits (56.7).

With a penalty-free cross-country performance, Rahmat Natzir (East Borneo-Kaltim) maintained his position atop the 23 horse-rider combinations that entered the Saturday's challenging test. Gutomo with Moritz (Jawa Barat) moved into second position and Budi Tulodo (East Borneo-Kaltim) on Kumala Forego followed the lead.

Unfortunately, Rahmat's hopes of winning were dashed when his young mount, who is still a bit green, refused the first fence of the showjumping round. The two were eliminated from the competition, putting their teammate Fesol Al Bahri and his brave mare, Kumala Cameo, into first position (61.0 penalty points).

Anto Binarto on Cassina (Bali) moved from 10^th place after the dressage test into the second position on the final day with a total of 67.3 points. Third was Volan on Capucino (DKI Jakarta) with 72.5 penalty points.
