With 27 entries challenging the first round of the course design by Ivan Tagle (ARG), Parot was one of nine Clear Rounds presented by Stuller Power Solutions that advanced to the jump off test. Parot stuck to his plan to produce the slickest possible ride for his horse, clinching the win.

The winning combo is a new pairing, Fernando Larrazabal detailed. “I just started riding her around three months ago, so it's kind of a new partnership for me. I'm very excited about the future, because she is a winner.” He elaborated, “She gets in the ring and just wants to do the job. To be honest, you just need to not get in her way and let her do her job, because she's amazing.”

Slotted to go early in the jump off, Fernando Larrazabal had to set a time that couldn’t be beat, but didn’t want to go “too crazy,” he explained:
“Going into the jump off, I was a little bit early in the order of go, and there were plenty after me. But, I know she's very quick: she's an ultra fast horse. So, you know, I had my plan. I didn't want to get too crazy, because I know she is very quick.

“I played my part, she did an amazing job, and I was crossing my fingers for the rest, because it's difficult to win here. But it went my way today, so I'm very happy,” he emphasized. “I want to thank her owner, Driss [Ngadi], for letting me ride this mare and trusting me with her.”
