What a competition - it was for sure “small Olympics”
From the start list the Grand Prix Special in Hagen was something very special. And from first combination until the very last it was with high intensity and great sport. For the first time tonights competitions were at the big jumping arena in Hagen, which made the entire environment even more championship like.
Strong ladies in top
No doubt the ladies in 1st and 2nd position tonight also will be at the individual podium at Tokyo Olympics with the open spot as the third medal - that´s the clear picture of the top of today’s dressage world.
Charlotte and MSJ Freestyle were like Jessica and TSF Dalera BB showing maximum suppleness, power, accuracy and grace in just one package. Werth is just in her own league and today with a clearly better performance.
New in the “ladies league” are Charlotte Fry and Carina Cassøe Krüth
Yet again Fry was on fire together with Glamourdale. Another impressive performance and their first ever Grand Prix Special (76,404%) and Fry was one of the riders having chosen a very nice “background” music for her Grand Prix Special. Enjoy highlights from their test here below - just click at the photo.
Danish Carina Cassøe Krüth and Danish Warmblood mare Heiline´s Danciera proved their qualities as a combination in top of the sport. As co-commentator at Clipmyhorse Henning Lehmann stated during their test - “this is really advertising for dressage even though there might be some technical errors later in the test.”

Background music
It was the first time testing “background music” for Grand Prix Special. First impression from the “sideline” was that it was like a kind of freestyle compositions instead of personal flow music, and said that the music for Glamourdale and Fry was actually underlining there test in a very nice way.
