Winner of World Cup qualifier today in s´Hertogenbosch - Daniel Bachmann Andersen with Blue Hors Zack.

Winner of 1st leg and last leg for this seasons World Cup qualifiers

Last to go was Danish Daniel Bachmann Andersen with KWPN stallion Blue Hors Zack. The one to beat was Germany´s Helen Langehanenberg with Damsey FRH as just left the arena scoring 84,875% and cracked her personal best ever scoring, but for sure also her best ever test. The lack of fluency and power from yesterday’s Grand Prix has gone with the wind, today they just showed the German national coach that they will be ready for the final in Gothenburg.

And Daniel and Zack delivered all the way. Superb timing, super qualities and the music and choreography just suits all the way. It became a margin win, and must say that the German judge really was wearing his German glasses for Daniel and Zack´s performance, but from H2R point of view it was a victory for Daniel with or without Danish glasses.

Isabell Werth and Emilio ended at 3rd place today and still with a very positive score from the judges.

Second victory this Saturday for Daniel was in the CDI3 Grand Prix freestyle earlier today. Ones again superb timing, overview and qualities. From judge at C British Stephen Clarke it was a 10 for harmony between horse and rider.

“I knew my horses were on good form and I knew I was well prepared, but said that this weekend was just way beyond my expectations - I’m so pleased,” tells a very proud Daniel just before leaving s´Hertogenbosch. “Now I will go home and look forward to the finals in Gothenburg together with Zack,” says Daniel.
