The pair are making their third appearance in Stuttgart: “I like the horse show and my horse feels at home in the Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Halle. Everything went really well today,” said the delighted Patteet. Second place went to Ireland’s Jessica Burke (0/59.43) atop the bay mare Inpulss. In the saddle on the only eight-year-old Just Special VK, Bryan Balsinger was also faultless (63.56) when finishing third. The 25-year-old Swiss is currently No. 46 in the FEI World Rankings. The best German was Patrick Stühlmeyer (0/65.09) in fifth.
