Matthias Bouten (GER) had already ridden to two second places so far during Dressage International at the GLOCK HORSE PERFORMANCE CENTER. Today he complemented them with his first victory in the CDI3* Grand Prix Special. With his twelve-year-old Ehrengold MJ, son of Ehrentusch, this former trainer-rider at the stables of Isabelle Werth secured first place with 70.353 % and thus also one of the beautiful GLOCK winner’s blankets and trophies. “I was already well satisfied with Ehrengold yesterday”, said Matthias Bouten in the winner’s interview. “Today he was a little more relaxed and let himself be ridden simply perfectly. I’m happy!”
Following her win yesterday, his fellow countrywoman Isabelle Steidle took second place today. The score she collected with her 14-year-old Holstein Long Drink came to 70.078 %. Third-placed Anna Louise Ross from Great Britain, in the saddle on Oldenburg mare Die Callas, completed the podium line-up in the CDI3* Grand Prix Special with 67.392 %.
Austria’s great ladies, Andrea John (T) on Esperanto 4, Jacqueline Toniutti (St) on Sandrose and Caroline Kottas-Heldenberg (W) on Shylock 6, took fourth, sixth and eighth places respectively.
