LONDON, Jan. 27-- Defending series champions, Germany's Isabell Werth and her magical mare Weihegold OLD, cruised to victory at the sixth leg of the FEI World Cup Dressage 2017/2018 Western European League in Amsterdam on Saturday afternoon. The dynamic duo floated through their freestyle test to post 88.540, almost a full percentage point more than their winning score at the third leg of the series on home ground in Stuttgart in November. The capacity crowd packed into the RAI Arena included stars of many other sports along with Dutch royal family member Princess Margarita, Countess of Colorno, who is a Board Member of the show organization, Jumping Amsterdam. But it was the German star who claimed center stage when pinning the home side's Edward Gal with Glock's Zonik into second, and her compatriot, Jessica von Bredow-Werndl, into third with Unee BB. "Weihe was really fantastic today, I can't describe the feeling of this power and collection, she's like a metronome - we can do whatever we want," said Werth. |
