2003
World Cup Dressage Finals
Grand Prix Photo Tour: Anthony FRH Hausse for Isabell
Werth
Probably
one of the most bi-polar horses on the European Dressage
Scene is Anthony FRH. At one show, he's having a "hausse",
meaning that he's a brilliant reflection of classical
dressage, supple in every movement and flawless in every
exercise, but at another competition, he can be stubborn,
resistent, and obnoxious.
Former Olympic Dressage Champion Isabell Werth, knows
the buttons to her 17-year old Hanoverian gelding (by
Argument/T), but is as subject to her horse's mood swings
as would be any other rider. When Anthony has a hausse,
he's world class and, fortunately for Isabell, he's
having a good weekend again at the 2003 World Cup Finals.
Scoring 71.60% in the Grand Prix, Werth and Anthony
FRH finished in a strong third position, with an overall
second place after the freestyle in reach. That is,
if Anthony FRH stays focussed of course.
