Equestrian star Katharina Hemmer shines once more, clinching the Grand Prix Special at Frankfurt's Festhalle event on Saturday.

Even the renowned Isabell Werth from Rheinberg, the world's top-ranked dressage rider, couldn't best Katharina, earning a fourth-place finish with her steed, Superb (70.383).
