Frankfurt/GER: Salieri OLD Eighth in the World Cup Free-Style

Salieri OLD did a clearly better job today in the World Cup free-style of Frankfurt/GER. With 70.80 percent we finished on eighth place. I still have no idea what bothered him yesterday in the Grand Prix. Maybe he was just irritated by the huge background in the enormous Festhalle. Horses that don't have a lot of Grand Prix experience are easily distracted if there is just the slightest little disturbance. But we weren't the only ones with a problem. Yesterday's winner Monica Theodorescu took only ninth place with her Whisper today with 69.30 precent - just behind us.

The test was won by Isabell Werth/GER on Warum nicht FRH (79.25 precent) in front of the Swiss rider Silvia Iklé with Salieri CH (76,.0) and the Dutch rider Laurens van Lieren with Hexagon's Ollright (75.00).

In yesterday's Winner's Prize of the Burg Pokals, a show number, Augustin OLD took third. If I'm honest, I just wasn't so fit anymore after such a long day. But it was fun anyway. I was also very pleased to have been awarded the prize for style for the rider with the best seat and aids.
