The germans are unbeatable at the moment - two combinations over 80% and two combinations just below 80% makes them unbeatable.
From H2R today’s winner were Showtime & Dorothee Schneider even with the small canter issue at transition from passage (just have a look at the comments during their tests here below), but from the judges still have 3 x 1 and 2 x 2 for Werth against 3 x 2 and 2 x 1 for Schneider.
Huge achievement for the Danish team
With the two strong young Danes and a solid performances from Jojo AZ the 2nd place at the podium was secured for Denmark today. Last time Denmark was in this league was back in the start of the eighties, where they came 2nd four times in the team competition and Anne Grethe Jensen with Marzog were individual winners twice.
