A German day
National Grand Prix win for Hubertus Schmidt with Imperio today at Nürnberg, like Schmidt also took the preliminary Prix Sct. Georg Special win with the 7 yr old mare Toscana by Bentley / Rubinstein I with 72,341%.
CDI4 at Oldenburg
CDI4 Grand Prix win for Jessica von Bredow-Werndl with Unee BB at Oldenburg. Very "easy" and obedient test without any technical issues scoring 76,560%. And again today Jessica and her Trakehner mare took the victory in the qualifier for Louisdor Preis final. Super light and expressive test with just an issue for the 1 times today, as Jessica subsequent explained as a kind of beginner nerves, as it was just the 2nd indoor competition for Dalera.
Placed second at the Louisdor qualifier was a well known horse namely this years trible European gold medal winner for Young Riders the 10 yr old gelding Carlos by Carabas / Weltmeyer ridden by Heiner Schiergen. After the ride Schiergen told that the main goal for this year of course was the Europeans with his Young rider Hannah Erbe. During last winter they were introducing Carlos to the Grand Prix exercises, but some month before the Europeans they just focused for that. Excited to follow the future steps of Carlos into the Grand Prix sport.
World Cup at Lyon
CDI-W freestyle win for Isabell Werth and Emilio showing a convincing test in Lyon today. Isabell was as usual top sharp and made clear distance to the other competitors today.
Beatrice Ferrer-Salat and Delgado were back on form and showed and effortless test. From H2R point of view Delgado just lacking some more suppleness in the body throughout the entire test.
Unfortunately Deja was not quite in the same piaffe mood today as for yesterday´s Grand Prix, but still a lovely test.
