In second place, like yesterday in the Grand Prix, was the world’s most successful rider Isabell Werth (Germany) atop Gut Wettlkam’s D’avie FRH, a 12-year-old Hanoverian stallion owned by Lisa and Thomas Müller – the German football World Cup winner. The “Dressage Queen” has only been riding the horse for the past few weeks – sufficient for the pair to be rewarded with 73.192 per cent and 6,875 euro. “I’m super satisfied with D’avie. For me today, it was all about bringing greater stability and experience into the arena,” said Isabell Werth when commenting on her performance. “Yesterday, he made a couple of mistakes but today he was super, very concentrated and far more at one with himself.”
Germany’s Bianca Nowag-Aulenbrock and her 12-year-old Hanoverian gelding Wallach Queolito (71.575) placed third to earn themselves 5,075 euro. “Though he was obviously spooked a couple of times at the start, he added a few highlights to the class and then he was nicely back with me in the last part of the test.”
