ACHLEITEN, Austria, June 7, 2015–Kimberly Herslow on Rosmarin led another American sweep of the top four places in the Intermediate 1 Sunday, wrapping up an undefeated European swing to go home to make final preparations for the Pan American Games and the hopes of winning a start for the United States at the 2016 Olympics.
Allison Brock on Rosevelt placed second in the Grand Prix Special with a near personal best score behind Victoria Max-Theurer of the show host family on Blind Date.
Kim of Stockton, New Jersey and the 10-year-old Hanoverian gelding scored 75.500 per cent and followed the pair’s victory in the Prix St. Georges Saturday and double wins at Munich last month.
Kasey Perry of Orangevale, California on Goerklintgaards Dublet placed second on 73.632 per cewnt with Sabine Schut-Kery of Thousand Oaks, California on Sanceo third on 72.526 per cent and Olivia LaGoy-Weltz of Middleburg, Virginia fourth on Lonoir in fourth with 71.211 per cent.
Vici and Blind Date scored 75.216 per cent while Allison and the 13-year-old Hanoverian stallion were awarded 74.176 per cent with Gary Rockwell of the United States placing her first. Netherlands’ Margo Timmermans on Utah was third on 69.647 per cent.
Since returning to competition last September after a long break, Allison of Wellington, Florida and Rosevelt owned by Claudine and Fritz Kundrun have moved into the top tier of American Grand Prix combinations.
The pair posted four victories and three second places in the United States and in the past month placed fifth in two classes at Munich and was runnerup in both the Grand Prix and the Special here.
The winning Small Tour were already at the top of the Pan Am small tour standings when they came on this European tour of eight horses and seven riders at both Big and Small Tours. The aim was twofold–determine the two Grand Prix and two Prix St. Georges combinations for the U.S. Pan Am team as well as show judges and others the increasing depth and quality of American dressage in competition against top Europeans.
Selectors were to confer Sunday on selecting the Pan Am team.
Indications are that Steffen Peters of San Diego, California and Legolas and Laura Graves of Geneva, Florida on Verdades will fill the two Big Tour places. Kimberly Herslow and Rosmarin will take one of the Samm Tour spots but the closeness of the three other pairs coupled with the late surge by Kasey Perry on Dublet.
