Gerco Schröder (NED) has been judged as the winner of the Furusiyya Rider of the Day award at the CHIO Aachen (GER).

Schröder, riding his chestnut stallion, London rode two outstanding clear rounds, which gave his Netherlands team a fantastic win in the Mercedes-Benz Preis, part of the Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup™ Jumping. The 34-year-old Dutchman was the only rider in the competition to record two faultless rounds, with his team pipping Belgium to first place by just three points.

The Furusiyya Rider of the Day award is presented to the horse & rider combination that is judged to have best displayed qualities such as harmony, partnership, balance and skill throughout their two rounds; values represented and embodied by Furusiyya. The award was judged by Frank Rothenberger, Course Designer at the CHIO Aachen.
