Nadine Capellmann and Elvis VA. Capellmann not scoring the way she had hoped for.
"It wasn't a good day for horse and rider," said Nadine Capellmann about
her performance in the Grand Prix on Friday, where she and Elvis scored
only 71%. As a consequence, she parted from Martin Schaudt, who had been
her coach for the past year. "At the moment, there's just no consensus
between us regarding the training", Capellmann said, annopuncing at a
press conference in Muenster that for the time being, Holger Schmezer
would coach her and her talented youngster. "He already helped me
today", she said after the Special, where she scored 73,76%, "and I#m
finding back to my style. The Piaffe wasn't as good yet as Elvis can do
it, but we're on the right way now." |

"I feel like now I'm being rewarded for all those years", Werth said.
"I've always believed in those horses; my sponsor Madeleine
Winter-Schulze has always believed in me, and now it all pays off. I'm
simply very, very happy that it's going so well now, and I hope that
it'll stay that way." |
Isabell Werth had a blast in Muenster.
Both Warum nicht and Satchmo
performed well, and it doesn't only appear to be a given that she'll be on the German team for the WEG
-- she and Holger Schmezer will even have a hard time deciding which
horse she'll take along. |

For Isabell Werth, the way back to the top was the longest, and I she probably was _the_ happiest of all the happy persons there this weekend |
|
The results for Isabell's ride are announced -- 82%, the silver medal. Upon hearing this Werth
dismounts and falls into her sponsor's arms ... and "Hannes" just stands
there as if forgotten. |
