Isabell Werth wins first German trial for 1999 European
Championships
At
the first German selection show for the 1999 European
Championships in Bad Salzuflen, national dressage champion
Isabell Werth leaded (average 83.14%) in the Grand Prix,
Speciale and Kur with her top horse Nissan Gigolo FRH.
This succes will spare Gigolo from the next trial at
the German Dressage ChampionshipsIn Verden. Isabell
will there present her Hannoverian gelding Anthony FRH
(by Argument/Trak). Nadine Capellmann - Biffar entered
a sole rider two Grand Prix horses in Bad Salzuflen.
The inexperienced Farbenfroh (Westphalian by Freudentanzer)
moved with great impression through the ring and settled
himself on a second position in the Grand Prix; with
Gracioso she came in second in the Speciale and Kur
(78.87%). Ulla Salzgeber and Rusty made a hesitating
start in the Grand Prix (6th), but moved to place 3
in the other two tests. This achievement will probably
secure her of a place in the German dressage team. Fifth
contestant for a team spot was Jurgen Wirths. His mount
Souveran showed consistent scores, nevertheless the
fresh combination Alexandra Simons-De Ridder and Chacomo
scored a few points higher throughout the show.
