2005 Swiss Dressage Championships

Silvia Iklé Supreme at 2005 Swiss Dressage Championships

November 6, 2005

Silvia Iklé and Salieri CH were the undisputed Champions at the 2005 Swiss Dressage Championships that took place September 23 to 25, 2005, in Zurich, Switzerland. Aboard her Swiss warmblood Salieri CH (by Sinclair out of Lyssa), Iklé won the Grand Prix (72.25%), the Special (72.00%) and the Kur to Music (79.10%) and claimed the national title and gold medal.

The silver medal went to Christian Pläge aboard his Danish warmblood Regent. The former Danish citizen Pläge rode his first Swiss Dressage Championships as a Swiss citizen and moved into the reserve champion's position after an outstanding kur to music that earned him 74.50.

Marie Line Wettstein and her Hanoverian Le Primeur (by Lauries Crusador xx) landed the bronze medal after a second place in the Grand Prix and two third places in the Special and Kur.
