CAPPELN, Germany, Aug. 20–In their final competition before the World Equestrian Games in Kentucky, Great Britain’s medal hopefuls Laura Bechtolsheimer and Mistral Hojris dominated the Grand Prix and the Freestyle at this newly created CDI4* at historic Gestüt Vorwerk.

In the Grand Prix on Friday, Laura and the 15-year-old Mistral, 2009 European Championship team silver and individual bronze medal winners, scored 76.638 per cent, with all five judges placing her first but with scores ranging from a high of 80.00 per cent from Wojciech Markowski of Poland, president of the ground jury, to a low of 73.404 per cent from Austria’s Elisabeth Kohffman. Markowski awarded her a “10” for the final centerline piaffe.

Sweden’s Patrik Kittel on Florett As placed second on 68.936 per cent with Austria’s Victoria Max-Theurer on Eichendorff third on 66.468 per cent.

In Saturday’s reestyle, Laura and Mistral scored 81.45 per cent to claim victory over Patrik and Florett on 74.80 per cent with Victoria and Eichendorff again third on 73.90 per cent. The British pair scored 81.750 per cent in the Freestyle at last year’s European Championships at Windsor.

Shannon Dueck on her nine-year-old mare Ayscha was fourth on 65.702 per cent, showing none of the issues that led to her withdrawing the horse from consideration for a place on Canada’s WEG team. The pair scored 69.650 per cent in the freestyle for seventh place.

This stud was one of the most famous in Europe, owned and operated by the Vorwerk family for more than 135 years before being bought by Austrian Olympian Sissy Max-Theurer last year.
