32 starters in today’s national Inter II at Herbergen, Essen

The huge field was also counting international top riders like Isabell Werth, Patrik Kittel, Therese Nilshagen, Fabienne Müller-Lütkemeier and Annabel Balkenhol.

Kittel was at start with two horses the 13 year old stallion Rocky Lee (sire of World Champion Revolution) and 9 year old 9 year old Amplemento by Ampere.

Smooth and effortless tests

It was competition debut together with Rocky Lee, and they showed an easy test without any technical issues, the passage and piaffe tours were just lacking a bit more power and expression.

With the young Amplemento Kittel made his debut back in December at national event in Ankum with victory in both Inter I and Inter II, and today they just succeeded with another winning performance. Super smooth and relaxed test, in a super steady round and beautiful uphill frame all the way. No exercise wise difficulties, and all the way with smooth nice overview for the young GP horse.

Werth and Nilshagen

Both Werth and Nilshagen had some challenges today. Werth was at start with Fairmont 11 year old gelding, which seemed not 100% balanced all the way and missing a bit more clear stable contact. Nilshagen was at start with the highly frequented stallion For Romance OLD, and they showed a bit conservative test, and For Romance lacking a bit more clear accept of the contact, but without any technical issues.

Here you find the full results.
