The
weekend of November 29 to December 1, 2001, was the
time for the 2001 Spanish Dressage Championships in
Malaga, Spain. Like expected, it was Beatriz Ferrer-Salat
who took home the trophy, blue ribbon and national title.
Aboard the bay Hanoverian gelding Vital Robert Beauvalais,
Ferrer-Salat scored 71.70% in the Grand Prix, 72.70%
in the Special and 74.60% in the Kur to Music. With
these wonderful scores she pushed Ignacio Ramblo with
the Andalusian Granadero into the silver medal position.
The bronze medal went to Jose Manuel Lucena and his
Andalusian Aljarafe, the mount ridden by Luis Lucia
at the 2000 Olympic Games.
Other participants
were Nuria Vila with Zorro-Z, finishing 6th, Eduardo
Mellado and "Hortelano" placing 5th and Eva Navarro
on Atiza II, ending in 8th position. The fact that two
of the most important Spanish riders were absent from
the national championships must be taken into account.
Both Rafael Soto's Invasor and Juan Antonio Jimenez'
Guizo are injured.
