Internationales Festhallen Reitturnier (Frankfurt)...

 

Nurnberger Burg-Pokal - St. Georg Special

Isabel Freese (Total Hope OLD) - 77.610%

Kira Wulferding (Bonita Springs) - 76.293%

Lena Waldmann (Cadeau Noir) - 75.854%

 

Louisdor Preis starts tomorrow with Grand Prix...

 

And in case you are wondering what the hell are Nurnberger Burg-Pokal and Louisdor Preis? They represent annual championships for developing horses in Germany, and pretty much the reason behind German dressage domination.

Why is a developing horse named as OLD?

Because OLD stands for Oldenburg breed.

 

By the way, Total Hope is a son of Totilas (as you may have gathered by the name).

Oh, I was not kidding about the OLD thing, so thanks  

 

And I had not gathered that at all, even knowing it I don't really see the connection. But go Total Hope

Winning ride, and just a little peak on the atmosphere that Frankfurt brings for Nurnberger-Burg Pokal and Louisdor Preis.
