Ebolensky jumped incredibly to win the first 4* Grand Prix of the Spanish Sunshine Tour in Vejer.

In Matt's interview with World Of Showjumping, he said of Ebolensky "She's an amazing horse, we've had her since she was 7 years old and I brought her here when she was 8 and she's been here most years since. She won the Grand Prix in London, and this is the next big Grand Prix since then. She's just an incredible horse, she loves the facilities here and grass rings. I'm very lucky to have her."
