Dujardin with strong Young Horse performances and new national titles
Groom Alan just got of the plane from WEG last Tuesday, and then it was off to next show, where Alan brought up 8 horses for the British national Championships starting Wednesday afternoon.
And of course Charlotte was not able to do this on her own.
Charlotte thanked Sadie Smith and Katie Bailey once more for keeping the horses running throughout the World Equestrian Games, as well as all the team behind the scenes for their support. “I had two days to prepare and as the week’s gone on the horses have got better and better – I’m a perfectionist so whilst my preparation wasn’t ideal I’ve been so pleased with the horses and the results.” - source: British Dressage.
From Dujardin´s FB site: “A brilliant weekend at the Le Mieux Nationals Dressage Championships. Flo (Hawtins San Floriana) won the six year old class and the Medium title. Flora (Florentina) won the Inter I Freestyle. Mount St John VIP won the Advanced Medium, with Pumpkin (Gio) in second and Brioso II in third. Nancy (River Rise Nisa) came fifth.”

Germany’s Isabell Werth (49) showed exactly why she is the most decorated rider in the history of equestrian sport when claiming the Helgstrand Dressage Grand Prix Special title at the FEI World Equestrian Games™ 2018 in Tryon, USA today. Bringing the 14-year-old mare, Bella Rose, back to good health and fitness after an injury sustained four years ago has been a long, slow process. But her faith and dedication was repaid in full this afternoon when she topped the Special podium for the third time in the 28-year history of the Games.
And she was under maximum pressure when last into the US Trust arena, with America’s Laura Graves (31) and Verdades sitting in gold medal spot ahead of Great Britain’s Charlotte Dujardin (33) and Mount St John Freestyle as she set off down the centre line. She had an added incentive to nudge them further down the podium however, because her great personal friend and patron, Madeleine Winter-Schulze, broke her leg in a fall shortly after watching Werth help win team gold yesterday evening.
“I feel so sorry for Madeleine, she is in hospital so I said I’ll try my best to bring the gold medal to her this evening with a glass of champagne!"
Isabell Werth (GER)
said the lady whose golden collection is second to none.
Graves set the target with an extraordinary performance from her 16-year-old gelding when fourth-last to go of the 30 starters. With clockwork rhythm and show-stopping style they posted a mark of 81.717 that would prove hard to beat. Werth’s team-mate Sonke Rothenberger (23), who came so close to toppling his legendary compatriot when taking individual silver at last summer’s FEI European Championships in Gothenburg (SWE), looked likely to put up a mighty challenge when next into the arena, but a couple of mistakes saw him having to settle for a score of 81.277.
And then Dujardin overtook him when posting 81.489 to slot temporarily into silver medal spot. The British rider was the undisputed queen of the sport during her record-breaking partnership with the great Valegro which came to an end when the horse was retired two years ago. So she’s been in the wilderness for a while, but today she stepped right back onto centre stage when scoring 81.489 with a mare that is only nine years old. It’s clear this is a horse whose potential is only beginning to be realised, so there’s a shiver of excitement running through the sport after today’s result.
Dujardin knew she had to up her game to prove that potential, and she did it with a breathtaking performance that suggests there’s so much more to look forward to. “I felt I’d nothing to lose today and I knew I had a tough job. I was like the jam between the German sandwich, with Isabell at one end and Sonke at the other!” she said.
However it was all about Isabell at the end of the day, the living legend punching out massive scores to put the result beyond doubt for a final scoreline of 86.246.
“I knew we had to give the best to get the gold today, but I felt so safe on her, and she had so much energy and was so patient. It’s always great to go in when you know there’s a chance because the horse is so good. Then it’s just up to you to show it in the right way” Werth said.
Now it’s on to Sunday’s Grand Prix Freestyle when Werth may find it even more difficult to secure her third gold medal of the tournament. Because Graves and Dujardin are in no mood to crumble. And it looks very much like Dujardin wants to wrest back the crown she wore for so long during Valegro’s reign as Dressage king of the ring.
That may not be in two days’ time, but talking about her mare the British rider said “when she’s stronger and more confident I’m going to give Isabell a run for her money - we’ll be back fighting!”. Werth just smiled.
Full result here
If your not among the 6 best combinations from the Grand Prix it does not really look like an opportunity to stand at the podium later today for the individual Grand Prix Special medals.
And top 6 individual were:
And the next hurdle will of course to be among the 15 best for Sunday´s freestyle.
H2R did a bit of statistics and from watching the qualities from the Grand Prix, the freestyle will be with:
3 Germans
3 British
3 American
3 Swedish
(Every nation must maximum have 3 combinations for the freestyle final)
And the there are 3 spots left for Blue Hors Zack, Glock´s Zonik N.O.P and Deep Impact = 15 combinations.
