Capellmann has made much progress on Elvis since she started training with Klaus Balkenhol. In the Grand Prix Special, Capellmann stayed fault-free but the piaffe could have been better as Elvis did lean on the bit now and then, but the contact was mostly very good and it was an expressive ride.
Capellmann has been spending the winter and spring not at her home in Aachen but at Gestut Ammerland in Bavaria. She's been at Ammerland since February 2009 with a couple of horses as she has close friends there. Capellmann will be back in Aachen for the summer. |
