2000 CHIO Aachen

Isabell Werth Does It Again

Werth and GigoloThe CHIO Aachen 2000 became a dream show for Isabell Werth. In 1999 Gigolo FRH injured himself in Aachen and the end of the Werth/Gigolo was announced by many critics. Werth's revenge was more than sweet when she won this year's overall championship and dominated two out of three classes. The largely entered Grand Prix class was sponsored by the American Tess Gilder of Coastriders, an American Corporation which tries to be dedicative to the international dressage sport. The extended trot of the 17-year-old did not come to full expression, but the half passes were marvellous as well as the perfectly balanced piaffe and passage. In the tempi's every two strides, one change to the right didn't come through that well but the general impression was that Gigolo is back in business, and ready to do the "battle of the Seniors" against Bonfire at the Olympics in Sydney.
