Pius took part in the CSI 5*-W in Stuttgart with Vancouver de Lanlore, Grigia BR Z and a new recruit: Defi de la Roque.

Grigia, only 8 years old, demonstrated her full potential with two placings (8th and 10th) in classes rated at 1.45m.

Defi de la Roque, in his very first competition with Pius, took a splendid 6th place in the difficult Grand Prix over 2 rounds at 1m55.

Vancouver, meanwhile, picked up his first World Cup points of the season with a 9th-place finish in the World Cup Grand Prix.
