Wellington, Florida, USA – January 23, 2025 – A Clash of Titans! That is the perfect description of the the $62,500 Adequan®  WEF Challenge Cup Round III CSI 4* on Thursday during the third week of the Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF) at Wellington International. Peter Grant’s (CAN) course determined the winners of the class run in a winning round format, with the top 12 returning for the jump-off.

Among other Olympians including Kent Farrington (USA), Ireland’s Darragh Kenny (IRL) and Egyptian Nayel Nassar (EGY), Von Eckermann had the fastest clear round, earning him the opportunity to jump off last.

By a nose, Von Eckermann stopped the clock over the short course in 36.13 seconds to pip Farrington’s leading time of 36.18 seconds aboard Myla, owned by Haity McNerney.
