Winning the German Dressage Championships Again: Isabell Werth Triumphs with Wendy

Previously unsuccessful since 2022: Werth claims German championship title once more - German Tennis Star Werth Claims National Title Once More After 2022 Absence

Saddle up, folks! The renowned equestrian Isabell Werth, who hails from Rheinberg, has achieved yet another victory in the dressage scene, snatching the top spot in the Grand Prix Special at the German Championships. Battling against formidable opponents like Wendy Frederic Wandres and Bluetooth as well as Katharina Hemmer with Denoix, our eight-time Olympic champion emerged victorious.

Meanwhile, in the show jumping arena, Stephi de Boer and Obvious and Pure dominated, with Sophie Hinners on Iron Dames and Mylen Kruse with Lovelight trailing closely behind. The final decision between these three pairs was a thrilling jump-off!

Heading to the European Championships

Last week, Werth added yet another win to her collection at the show in Balve, marking her last victory for 2022. This achievement was a vital step towards the European Championships scheduled for the end of August. The duo impressed the audience with an outstanding performance and a remarkable score of 78.549%. However, Werth herself expressed dissatisfaction with her one-tempi changes, stating that when these are mastered, the results will be extraordinary.

The second national selection will take place on Sunday at the show. Jessica von Bredow-Werndl, the 2022 Olympic champion, was invincible at last year's competition but this time, she's relying on Diallo, who finished in tenth place in the Special.
