They have definitely improved their partnership but the big atmosphere is still somewhat scary from Denoix point of view, which also clearly was reflected by the lap of honour where he literally took off, but Katharina luckily got him back under control.
Fairly new international partnership between D´avie and Isabell Werth with their 2nd international start together in Stuttgart, as they showed first time together back in September in Hagen.
D´avie looks very obedient all the way, and Werth manage to keep him sharp and fairly balanced hind all the way.

One to keep an eye on
Russian bred 9 yr old mare Santa Maria with Swiss rider Delia Eggenberger caught H2R attention. Super lightfooted and expressive. They made their international debut earlier this year in Achleiten and today was their 4th international Grand Prix together and first time indoor. Top trend for piaffe and passage, lovely trot tour, extended walk good, but collected walk was really tense today. Let´s see what the future brings for this pair. They ended up with 68,304% (ranked 5th).
