With a victory in the freestyle, Ulla Salzgeber’s Herzruf’s Erbe has made a comeback in good shape after a nine months’ compulsory break.
After saturday's Freestyle, which was a very, very careful round (5th rank in a field of 19 riders), Ulla Salzgeber was in the lead in a starting field of seven.
After the injury which the horse sustained at last year’s CHIO in Aachen, the Euroclassics in Bremen were the first big appearance for the 11-year old
gelding Herzruf’s Erbe. And Ulla Salzgeber had quite good reason for joy: The victory in the freestyle to music with a score of 77,95% was proof, that
“Herzi” is back on track after his long-lasting compulsory break.
Poland’s Katarzyna Milczarek, who won the Grand Prix, finished in runner-up position today – she and her great 10-year old Heraldik xx-offspring
Ekwador were rewarded with 76,95%. Sweden’s Patrik Kittel and his Florett As, a 13-year old stallion by Florestan, came in third (73,90%).
Belgian combination Vicky Smits-Vanderhasselt and her Hanoverian mare Daianira van de Helle (by Dream of Glory) thrilled the audience at the CDI
