The Prosegur Security Trophy featured jumps set at 1.45 meters in height and was judged under the Speed/Handinessformat, where each rail knocked down resulted in a 4-second penalty.

It was an all-Spanish podium, with Álvaro González de Zárate securing the top position. The rider from Álava completed his round fault-free in 60.79 seconds, earning his second win of the competition aboard his mare Casa Diva PSand capping off an impressive performance at Casas Novas.

Eduardo Álvarez Aznar, another Spanish rider and winner of the first CSI3* event on Friday, claimed second place. Riding Genaro Paulois, he also delivered a clear round in 62.60 seconds, securing another podium finish.

Rounding out the top three was seasoned rider Jesús Garmendia from San Sebastián, who came close to victory with Caramel Blue PS. However, a knockdown at the final jump cost him 4 seconds and the win, pushing him to third place in the final standings.

The CSI3* A Coruña concluded with the award ceremony for the top three riders in the Prosegur Security Trophy, presented by Fernando Abós, CEO of Prosegur Security.
