The storm over Aachen meant that the dressage riders in the Grand Prix of the CDI Tour were forced to take a short break.
However, the competition was resumed an hour later amid glorious weather and later in a floodlit arena. And the spectators cheered the convincing winner, after her salute nobody doubted that this was the victory.
Isabell Werth won the “HAVENS Horsefeed-Prize“ with Warum nicht FRH. With a score of 75.623 percent the 40-year-old left her fellow competitors trailing behind, since Monica Theodorescu (Füchtorf), who was a member of the bronze-winning equipe at the European Championsips in Hickstead in 2009 with Whisper, was awarded a score of 70,243 for her performance, i.e. a difference of over five percent. Third place went to Theodorescu’s fellow European Championship team member, Matthias-Alexander Rath (Kronberg), who scored 69.696 percent with his no. 2 horse Triviant UNICEF.
