Van Grunsven's trip to the Cote d'Azur was one of great competitive and financial success. With Painted Black she won the Kur to Music but more importantly, won 20,000 euro in prize money. Second placed Silvia Ikle cashed in 15,000 euro. The Cannes Dressage Invitational CDI was a test run for the Exquis World Dressage series to start next year. Certain riders (probably the already most successful ones in the world) will get invited to compete all over the world in classes for which the purse is promised to be huge. One for the money, two for the show...
