McLain Ward and HH Azur
World Cup Champions!
A dazzling victory for the 11- year-old mare, her American rider and Studbook SBS

We hoped it, we sensed it and we even expected it: the 11- year-old mare HH AZUR GARDEN’S HORSES (E.O.) (Thunder van de Zuuthoeve/Sir Lui van de Zuuthoeve), SBS born and bred by Nathalie Beaufort in B-8600 Pervijze, ridden by McLain Ward (USA), took the 2016-2017 edition of the World Cup, after a stunning weekend at the finals in Omaha (USA).

Not a single rail over five courses over 1.50/60 m.  How not to be seduced by this first place, taken at day 1 and never given up by McLain Ward and HH AZUR GARDEN’S HORSES? How not to admire their dominance that has amazed all spectators? And of course, there was also the obvious jubilation for the mare and her rider in association with the SBS, celebrating their first World Cup after a brilliant partnership. Indeed, this is the first World Cup for McLain Ward.  This was the first World Cup Victory for SBS as well.

History repeats itself in the most convincing way and there is no longer a question of it just being luck.  Looking to an exciting future!
