Italian Valentina Truppa, in the Freestyle to music climbed from the individual bronze position to the individual gold one by showing a faultless Freestyle. A pupil of German trainer Hubertus Schmidt and daughter of Italian judge Vincenzo Truppa reached again for the gold, just like last year. Her horse Chablis went safe, clear and reliable without mistakes.
The horse with the nicest frame today was the sensible mare Reine B partnered with Dutch Lotje Schoots, being the individual European Champion Juniors in 2004 and 2005. Yesterday the test of the winning pair of the nations cup test was disturbed by tension, today the Rubinstein-mare was totally focused on her rider.
With an emotional Freestyle the pair reached for the silver. The winner of the individual gold of yesterday, the impressive grey stallion Hohenstaufen, now had too many mistakes and earned an individual bronze medal showed by German Cristin Schütte.
