Sideline Comments on the 6-year old Finalists
Fie Skarsoe and Media Luna
Trakehner power continues. Finishing fourth in the
6-year old finals was this Rhinelander branded, but
Trakehner bred mare by Munchhausen x Karon. She had
to qualify for the Finals through the consolation finals,
but scored 8.7 in them and finished fourth overall.
Lovely trot work from this Wiesenhof owned chestnut
and even her canter, her weakest
gait because she has difficulties keeping the rhythm
3 beat clear, has improved. Danish Fie Skarsoe trailered
Media Luna from Krefeld (GER) to Warendorf herself.
On our way back to Belgium we overtook her and waved!

Oliver Oelrich on Dresemann
8.5 for the beautiful Dresemann (Daidalos x Wolkenstein
II). The horse has a super front leg in the trot and
remains to be a top FEI young horse, despite some loss
of balance behind in the trot. Two flying changes were
in two phases, but Oelrich still seemed very content
with Dresemann's input.
Rudolf Widmann and Landorra
This Oldenburg mare by Landjuwel Gold x Diadem was
ridden by Rudolf Widmann of Riding Acaademy Munich. The mare
is owned by Jorg Alexander Breiski.
Christine Traurig on Limited Edition and Uwe Schwanz
on Florestano
After their rides, Traurig and Schwanz got submerged
in a serious discussion. Traurig made the same programme
error as Carola Koppelmann on Insterburg, but the
former American Olympic team rider kept a big smile
on her face through her ride on Limited Edition (Lanciano
x Donnerhall). The Rhinelander stallion was recently
sold by his American owner Deborah Hausmann to the
British pair Tony and Sarah Pidgley. Traurig is moving
back to the States, while Limited Edition was stay
in training at Johann Hinnemann's.
Uwe Schwanz and Florestano were a bit underscored
with their 7.2 mark. Florestano (by Florestan x Dinard
L) was extremely light and balanced throughout the
test. He might not have that super uphill conformation,
but this horse was classically schooled: lightness,
self carriage, balance. Schwanz once again proved
his mastery in schooling young dressage horses.
