Top 6 with German combinations
It became kind of internal competition for the German combinations today in Stuttgart, and they all went for it. It was clearly a very motivated field of competitors today, where you got a lot of positive tensions where you could see that every single rider was fighting for the points.
Winner Werth showed a very motivated Weihegold OLD, and it was clearly that Werth was keen to make a clear test. For the canter tour Werth really had to show her own strength, as ex the extended canter was with risk but at the same time Werth looked determined not to make Weihe do the change in the middel of the exercise, likewise the series where Weihegold were challenging Werth a bit, being kind of over motivated, but Werth kept the control all the way.
For Jessica von Bredow-Werndl and her power mare TST Dalera BB it was just about the margins from taking the victory from Werth and Weihegold OLD, but said that it is about 10 points more from each of the judges. And today she could have scored a bit higher at entering halt, collected walk tour and both series, but no technical issues and she was also really going for it.
Placed 3rd Dorothee Schneider showed also a top motivated Sammy Davis Jr, where she was performing with full risk for the extensions and series, and with only smaller issues with the change at X between the pirouettes where Sammy made a couple of extra changes.
