Equestrian FEI Dressage World Cup 2018 - 2019

[dcro 10,210]

Dorothee Schneider withdrew Sammy Davis Jr from tomorrow's Den Bosch freestyle. Now she becomes a sitting duck for her team mate Benjamin Werndl, who will need to finish 2nd or better to secure his place at the Gothenburg finals...

Time for the Den Bosch WC. Traditionally a place where the Dutch get overscored like crazy.

Really? Dutch equestrian (dressage) does not mean anything at the moment. Time for Anky van Grunsven (triple Olympic champion) to come back!

Yap, Diederik van Silfhout already scored a big personal best on Expression.

Still, it's not as bad as couple of years ago when Marlies van Baalen got 76% for a test that was really worth 66%...

Daniel wins by a whisker.

 

What a star Denmark has. I bet he will have three 80% horses this time next year!

[dcro 10,210]

Daniel pulled a sandwich achievement, winning the first and last qualifiers of the season.

 

Western European League, Stage 10 ('s-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands)

Daniel Bachmann Andersen (Blue Hors Zack) - 84.890%

Helen Langehanenberg (Damsey FRH) - 84.875%

Isabell Werth (Emilio) - 82.930%

Full results...

So despite taking part in only 1.5 out of 10 qualifiers, I still placed 14th in the season standings (under Slovenian flag, Croatia wasn't offered ).

 

Screw this faulty app. I really could have won the VIP tickets for Gothenburg.

Was the score of Hans Peter Minderhoud overscored as well?

 

Normally he, his friend Edward Gal (Glock's Zonik) and Emmelie Scholtens (Apache) will participate in the Dutch team at the Olympics

No, his score today was about right.

 

Diederik van Silfhout might be able to challenge for the team as well, depending on how Expression progresses.

Apparently from this season only one per nation can qualify through the Central European League, so Russia will have to choose between Isachkina and Cherednichenko. There are 3 additional wild cards left until the quota of 18 is filled. Main candidates for the invitation should be Shelly Francis, Antonia Ramel, Inna Logutenkova, Tanya Seymour.
