Stuttgart – Tuesday the thirteenth: Gotthilf Riexinger, the director of the 28th International STUTTGART GERMAN MASTERS Horse Show received the bad news on the phone. “Dressage Queen” Isabell Werth has been forced to withdraw from this year’s equestrian highlight in the Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Halle.
Her 11-year-old gelding Don Johnson FRH has unfortunately gone lame after being given a new shoe. “It definitely won’t be any better by Thursday and there’s no chance he can take part,“ explained Gotthilf Riexinger after the telephone call.
