No one could beat the "Queen" today
Even with the best wibes for Danish super combination Cathrine Dufour and Atterupgaards Cassidy the task was just not possible today.
Think the judging became a little harsh to Danish Anna Zibrandtsen and Arlando, as they delivered a clearly much more relaxed and expressive test today than for the Grand Prix and the same fact for Spain´s Severo Jurado Lopez with Deep Impact - both were clearly seen in front of Mister X. And at the same time the local Tinne Vilhelmson Silfvén was not seen up for a finishing spot as no 5!
Werth went in and did what she is a pure master at - WINNING
From yesterdays performance one might get the feeling of not 120% on form, but still with a win, and then going into a new day with a new competition just doing her stuff - this is just something extraordinary.
H2R comments on every ride today:

No 10 - Zuidenwind SWE - strong start with one times direct at centerline. Error two times line, still unsteady open mouth today but less than for GP, spare line good. Bit high neck in 1st piaffe, nice balanced half passes, piaffe pirouettes direct into extended trot makes a good impression. 75,200%
