Today CDI4 in Mannheim started with two Grand Prix classes
At the entrylist Weihegold OLD was the only horse for Werth this week at Mannheim. Isabell also brought her now 17-year-old Bella Rose for training, but as she felt Bella was ready again and also due to the situation where you cannot be sure about the next show, she made a quick decision.

Well deserved placed 2nd was Jessica von Bredow-Werndl with Zaire E, but with Danish glasses and also by judge at M (Alice Schwab AUT) and judge at B (Katrina Wüst GER) Bufranco and Charlotte Heering were showing a test worth a top placement today but they finished at 6th place with just 0,5% from 3rd place.

As preparation for Mannheim Charlotte and Bufranco went on two days bootcamp at Danish national coach Nathalie zu Says-Wittgenstein before continuing to Mannheim. Charlotte tells after her test that she felt a bit rusty as it was 6 month since she entered the centerline, and Bufranco also felt a bit tense when entering the big arena, but that she of course was very pleased about her performance today.
