2005 CDI Wiesbaden Photo Report

All photos copyrighted Astrid Appels - No Reproduction Allowed

Eurodressage photographer Astrid Appels was on the scene at the CDI Wiesbaden on Saturday May 14 2005 to shoot the Grand Prix for Freestyle. It wasn't raining, it was pouring that day and only a few riders were fortunate to ride in the sunshine. A small selection of our photos:

Kristian von Krusenstierna on Wilson rode a personal best in Wiesbaden. Was that because they announced him as being a Dutch rider??	Linsenhoff shows off her new star Sterntaler, who has an extended trot as breath taking as Weltall's
Local heroine Anja Plonzke of Gestut Tannenhof on the Trakehner Solero RBS (by Hyllos)	Imke Schellekens-Bartels rides Sunrise in the sunshine. Fantastic international debut for this new pair.
Finnish Kyra Kyrklund rode her Swedish warmblood Max (by Master) in the pouring rain, but still managed to score a 70% mark.	Rain couldn't dampen her spirit. Kyra Kyrklund looks happy with her ride on Max and gets supportive applause from the crowds in the stands.
This pretty face is Tristan ASK, Louise Natthorst's Danish warmblood	One Spanish representative in Wiesbaden: Enrique Fernandez Cruces
My favourite shot of the day. Young Gun dog playing in the water.

Despite the rain we shot almost all riders in the Grand Prix, but from different angles. Anyone interested in ordering prints of our photos, can email us with the name of the rider. We will send you the proofs of the photos to chose from.
