JUDY Reynolds was in sparkling form at the four-star Grand Prix in Cappeln, Germany, with Joe and Kathleen Reynolds’s 13-year-old Jazz gelding Vancouver .

Reynolds scored a personal best when placing second in the Grand Prix, the highest four-star Grand Prix placing Reynolds has achieved, coming home on 71.660% behind Austrian victor Victoria Max-Theurer and Blind Date 25 on 75.760%.

Just two days later, Reynolds went a step further by taking another second place, this time in the more technical Grand Prix Special. Once again partnering Vancouver K , the Kildare rider achieved a score of 70.412%, which was only bettered by Austrian Victoria Max-Theurer with Blind Date 25 on 75.490, the pairing which had also won the Grand Prix last Friday in which Reynolds was second.

It was the latest in a series of personal bests for Reynolds, as she sets her sights on the European Dressage Championships in Aachen, Germany, in August.

Meanwhile, the Danish team scored a narrow win at the sixth and final leg of the FEI Nations Cup Dressage series staged at Hickstead, pushing Britain into second place while Sweden filled third spot ahead of South Africa in fourth.

British Dressage superstar Carl Hester won Friday’s Grand Prix with a score of 73.160 with Wanadoo on the horse’s Grand Prix debut.
