Er det overhovedet muligt at slå Isabel Werth?
Det spørgsmål havde landsmanden Sönke Rothenberger egentlig heller ikke overvejet. Men præcist i dag blev det fakta for Sönke, at han stod øverst på skamlen da klassen var og Isabel Werth måtte "nøjes" med 2. pladsen.
Sidste ekvipage dagens vinder
Det friske forårsvejr med høj sol og god vind gav friske ture for flere af dagens deltagere. Cosmo var i vanlig stil klar lidt med store øjne og på tæerne inden startsignalet var givet. I den første frie trav skrådt igennem springer Cosmo afsted som skudt ud af en kanon i af hjørnet, men Sönke har lynhurtigt situationen under kontrol og kan ride den frie trav færdig i super stil. Masser af udtryk, sving og bæring i traversaderne. God parade med tilbagetrædning. Super første passage/piaffe/passage tur, god kvalitet i skridten, en lille ubalance i starten af den 2. piaffe tur. Zig-zag galoppen bliver en smule ubalanceret. Kraftfulde serie og velbalancerede pirouetter. Stærk afslutning ad midten - fortjent sejr med 77,620%. Se ridtet herunder.
Emilio med Werth i sadlen så også ud til at forårsvejret holdte stemningen højt - i dag så højt at man i nogle momenter fornemmede at Isabel afventede i stedet for hendes vanlige stil bare at ride til, klogeligt var afventende i stedet for.
Fabienne Lütkemeier har med hendes unge Fabregaz en ny power hest. Skønt se hvordan hun formår at ride til under vejs og Fabregaz kvittere ved at spille optimalt med.

Is it possible to beat Isabel Werth?
This question was never really considered by German team rider Sönke Rothenberger, but precisely today, it became Sönke's day where he was able to pass World´s all time most successful rider Isabel Werth.
Last to go - winner
The fresh spring weather with sun and good wind provided some fresh horses in today´s Grand Prix. In best Cosmo style to motivated with a little big eyes and on the toes before the start signal was given. In the first exteded trot, Cosmo is like a cannonball out of the corner, but Sönke catches him immediately and finish the exercise in super style. Lots of expression, swing and carriage for the half passes. Good halt with rein back. Super first passage / piaffe / passage tour, good quality of the walk tour, a slight imbalance at the beginning of the 2nd piaffe tour. The zig-zag canter becomes slightly unbalanced but still error free. Powerful series and well-balanced pirouettes. Strong finish at the centerline - winning score with 77,620%. See the ride below.
Emilio with Werth in the saddle also looked a bit spring happy - today with a few moments, were you felt that Isabel not did take any chances but wisely to a bit more "lean back test" position to do the test without any major issues.
Fabienne Lütkemeier has definitely a new power horse with her young Fabregaz. Lovely to see how she's able to ride the demanding test where the just 10-yr old Fabregaz plays along all the way.
