Farbenfroh Shows What Modern Dressage Is About

FarbenfrohThe Grand Prix Special was Nadine Capellmann's big break-through with her 10-year-old Westphalian gelding Farbenfroh. The chestnut's most divine trait is his front leg. While the hind legs moves with nice impulsion, it are the front legs which are absolutely extra-terrestrial. In the extended trot the front legs come almost horizontally and in the piaffe and passage, the knees reach higher than the chest. Capellmann scored 77.95% and won the Special.

The Freudentanzer-son is now her first choice for the Olympics and the pair has been scheduled to go into quarantine in August. Simons-De Ridder was again second (77.16%) and Isabell Werth ended third (76.56%) on her spooky Gigolo.
