"The Hague se repête" Werth wins the Grand Prix Special and Anky is most likely to win the Kur on Saturday evening, just like at the 1994 World Equestrian Games in The Hague.

Isabell Werth got very emotional during the award ceremony. The victory did her so well as she struggled years to get Satchmo to go in the show ring. Tears were flowing throughout the prize giving.


Werth in tears..


...and unbelievably happy
