Stephex rider Petronella claimed the win in the CSI5*-W 1.60m class Equita Masters at Equita Lyon, riding Odina van Klapscheut to the only double-clear round of the competition.  The pair delivered two efficient and controlled performances to secure the top spot ahead of France’s Julien Epaillard and Belgium’s Gregory Wathelet.
