Han gjorde det inte bara en gång, utan två! Magnus Nilsson och hans häst Smart Camolena tog silver i både European Championship Working Cowhorse Champion Open och i Non Pro. Magnus som haft en mycket bra säsong, kanske den bästa hittills toppar nu alltså sommarens tävlingar med två Reserve Champion-titlar. Motståndet i Open bestod till största delen av proffstränare och då Magnus själv är amatörryttare blir den fantastiska prestationen ännu större. Vi har ännu inte fått någon kommentar från Magnus men vi hoppas kunna uppdatera. Vi är nog många som också vill passa på att gratta Magnus till medaljerna!
Magnus slutade på scoren 283,5 i Open och vann klassen gjorde Markus Schoepfer med scoren 291,5 på hingsten MH Sweet Boon. som ägs av Dominique Reynaud, Frankrike.
