#ThrowbackThursday – Cruising to Coapexpan
As many riders take this time of the year to get their younger horses ready for the upcoming season, only one five-star event graces the calendar this weekend.
We travel to Mexico this weekend for five-star action at CSI5* Coapexpan. To refresh your memory on this event, we go back in time to last year’s edition.
The CSI5* Grand Prix of Coapexpan in 2022 had an Elo field strength of 571, which is relatively low for a five-star event. Some bigger names did enter this competition as we saw Oak Grove’s Enkidu (668) and Quinly (666) on the startlist. It was however an underdog victory as Luciana Roberta Gonzalez Guerra and Ehrens (542) produced the only clear of the field and took the win without the need for a jump-off.
This win gave Ehrens a significant boost in Elo and with several solid results produced throughout the past 12 months, the gelding currently sports an Elo of 632.
Luciana Roberta Gonzalez Guerra and Ehrens are due to compete in Coapexpan again this weekend. Can they repeat last year’s superb performance?
