Thomas Frühmann and his magnificent horse Sixth Sense jumped to victory in the Telefónica Grand Prix, the most important competition of the International Show Jumping in La Coruna.

Frühmann, who had to pick up his prize on foot as his horse Sixth Sense had already been sent to the stables to rest and his stand- in horse refused him, managed to finish an exciting round after a fantastic performance in just 45.03 seconds. Runner-up Karina Johannpeter from Brazil finished in 49.76 seconds.

This was an especially difficult course and only 4 out of the 47 riders taking part managed to complete it with 0 penalties.
