Wiesbaden, Germany – May 22, 2013 – The Global Champions Tour event in Wiesbaden proved to be the best show yet for Norway’s Eirin Bruheim and her new mount, NLF Billy On Show. The pair dominated the competitive Amateur Jumper division, winning all three classes and claiming the championship award for Bruheim’s Nordic Lights Farm.
Bruheim and NLF Billy On Show began their streak with the Amateur Jumper Speed class, where they clocked in a full second ahead with all the fences intact to claim the winning prize. The next day they competed in the Accumulator Amateur Jumper class. Once again they were on point, this time finishing over three seconds faster than the rest of the field with a clear effort. The duo once again led the lap of honor, but their week was not complete yet.
On Sunday, 24 competitors gathered at the arena for the final event in the Amateur Jumpers. Nine horse and rider combinations managed to best the first round track and advance to the tiebreaker. Four produced double clear efforts, but it was Bruheim and NLF Billy On Show who stole the show. They galloped through the timers two seconds ahead of the leader, capturing their third win at the Amateur Jumper Championship.
“Wiesbaden was an amazing show,” expressed Bruheim. “NLF Billy On Show jumped amazing in all three classes, and I really feel like we are starting to build a wonderful relationship. I have learned a great deal since coming to Europe and it has been a fantastic opportunity. It was for sure a weekend that will be hard to beat. I am so proud of my horses, and it was an honor to earn these wins while representing Norway.”
The weekend was also successful for Bruheim’s second mount, NLF Newsflash. The duo placed sixth with a clear round in the speed class and then had just a single rail during Sunday’s jump-off event for another sixth place finish.
Nordic Lights Farm will continue showing throughout Europe during the spring and summer.
Nordic Lights Farm is a 70-acre establishment located in Tomball, TX, that was founded in 2007 by the Bruheim family to help further the equestrian goals of 20-year-old Eirin Bruheim and 18-year-old Lene Bruheim. Both girls have worked their way up through the ranks and are currently competing at the top levels in the hunter and jumper divisions aboard their incredible string of horses.
