Isabell Werth continued her run of success at the 24th Manfred & Hilde Swarovski Memorial Dressage Show at Schindlhof in Fritzens, Austria, over the weekend.
On the final day, Werth won the Grand Prix Special with Bella Rose on a score of 80.170% and the Freestyle with Emilio on 80.145%. Earlier in the event, Werth won both Grand Prix qualifier events on the two horses, scoring 77.522% on Bella Rose in the Special qualifier and 79.804% on Emilio in the Freestyle qualifier. The two wins on Bella Rose were particularly emotional for Werth, as the talented mare hasn’t competed since 2014 due to injury.
Second place in the Special went to Emile Faurie and Dono de Maggio on 75.596%, while runner up in the Freestyle was Dorothee Schneider and Fohlenhofs Rock’n Ro on 78.970%.
Two Australians qualified from the Grand Prix classes to contest the Freestyle and Special. Simone Pearce and Wladimir O.A scored 70.820% to finish 10th in the Freestyle, while Briana Burgess and Sissi scored 67.468% for 11th in the Special.
