FRANKFURT, Germany, Dec. 19, 2019–Isabell Freese, the Norwegian rider based in Germany, rode Total Hope to win the warmup Nürnberger Burg-Pokal Thursday leading to the final of the German championship of seven-to-nine-year-old Prix St. Georges horses.
Isabel and the seven-year-old Oldenburg stallion (Totilas x Blue Hors Don Schufro) scored 77.610% for the win in the lineup of 12 finalists. The Burg-Pokal is staged here at year-end along with the Louisdor Prize for developing Grand Prix horses.
The two championships are so prestigious that the Adequan Global Dressage Festival in Wellington, Florida is emulating the events in 2020 in an effort to help develop depth in United States dressage.
Isabel Freese, who captured the Burg-Pokal title on Vitalis in 2016, won bronze on Total Hope at the World Young Horse Championship for seven year olds earlier this year.
Kira Wulferding on Bonita Springs was second on 76.293% while Lena Waldmann was third on Cadeau Noir on 75.854% and fourth on Morricone with 75.268%.
The final for the 28th year of the event is scheduled for Saturday.
