LINGEN, Germany, July 12–Denmark’s Maria Anita Andersen and Loxana won the CDI4* Grand Prix Friday at the same competition where the pair began their Big Tour career a year ago while the United States’ Shelly Francis and Doktor and Arlene “Tuny” Page on Alina placed second and third, respectively.

Maria Anita and the 11-year-old mare (Diamond Hit x Argentinus) scored 70.319 per cent in their sixth competition and second career victory.

Shelly Francis of Loxahatchee, Florida and the 10-year-old Oldenburg gelding (Diamond Hit x Renoir 1) scored 69.021 per cent for second place in their third show on a debut European tour for the pair. The pair rarely finished out of the top three in 10 shows over the past two winters on the Florida circuit.

The result was the best in the three shows on this European swing–the other two were Outdoor Gelderland in Arnhem, Netherlands and the World Equestrian Festival in Aachen, Germany where they were on the U.S. Nations Cup team. This is their first competition season abroad since riding on the American team at the World Equestrian Games in Rome in 1998.

For Tuny of Wellington, Florida and the 15-year-old Danish Warmblood mare (Michellino x Diamant) this was only their second CDI in Europe and comes after a long injury layoff. The pair competed at Rotterdam last month.

Before this European training and competition swing the pair had not competed in almost two years and all those shows were in Florida or the U.S. East Coast.

However, on Wild One, a Hanoverian gelding now 17 years old, she competed extensively on both sides of the Atlantic including the World Cup Final in Amsterdam in 2006.

David Blake of San Diego, California, riding Ikaros in their first competition out of their home state scored 64.085 per cent for 10th place.
