Ulla and Wakana had a shaky start to the year when they were eliminated at the Exquis World Dressage Masters CDI5* at Palm Beach when the mare did not want to start the Grand Prix Special for which the pair were the hot favorites. Just two weeks later at Dortmund, Germany, they scored more than 70 per cent in the Grand Prix.
