24 Apr Two scores over 81% and new personal best for Jessica von Bredow-Werndl and TSF Dalera BB
Hagen a.T.W. — It really was dressage at its best on Friday morning in the Almased Stadium at Hof Kasselmann. 32 pairs utilised the opportunity to test their outdoor form prior to the upcoming Olympic and European Championship selections. The second CDI4* Grand Prix of Horses & Dreams meets Japan – Sports Edition was about qualifying for the Grand Prix Special with music and two rides were rewarded with over 81%.
Yesterday Charlotte Dujardin (GBR) celebrated victory with her young horse Gio, today riding her top horse Freestyle she was narrowly beaten by another exceptional mare: Jessica von Bredow-Werndl (Aubenhausen) and TSF Dalera BB were in great form and scored a new personal best in the Grand Prix — 81.652%. The judges even awarded multiple 10’s for the Piaffe-Passage tour of the Easy Game x Handryk daughter. Dressage queen Isabell Werth (Rheinberg) came in third with 78.630% with her future hope DSP Quantaz. The Quaterback son once started his career in Hagen. At Horses & Dreams meets the Royal Kingdom of Jordan 2018, Sissi Max-Theurer discovered the stallion, then still under Ronald Lüder in the Louisdor Prize Qualifier. Isabell Werth was supposed to compete DSP Quantaz for her student Vicky Max-Theurer, but the new partnership proved so promising that Werth’s long-time friend and patron Madeleine Winter-Schulze bought shares in the noble bay and thus secured him for Werth. 76.652% was awarded to Benjamin Werndl (Aubenhausen) and Daily Mirror in fourth place. The best 15 pairs will compete in the Grand Prix Special with music, presented by Höveler Pferdefutter, on Saturday at 18:15 in the show jumping stadium.
