DOHA, Qatar, Feb. 27, 2021–Jessica von Bredow-Werndl and Zaire-E won the Al Shaqab CDI5* Grand Prix Special Saturday night with Helen Langehanenberg riding the American-owned Damsey FRH to runner-up in the final competition for the 19-year-old Hanoverian stallion.

Jessica and the 17-year-old KWPN mare scored 84.780% for the win to lead a German sweep of the top three places in the musical performance of the €150,000/US$181,000 competition. The pair won the Grand Prix Friday.

Helen and Damsey, owned by Louise Leatherdale of Long Lake, Minnesota and Susanne Meyer, was awarded 82.050% for second.

Dorothee Schneider and Faustus were third on a personal best score of 81.865%, eclipsing the pair’s previous best of 80.650% posted a month ago.

The Grand Prix Special was won by Luxembourg’s Nicolas Wagner Ehlinger on Quater Back Junior FRH on 74.128%.

The final competition performance by Damsey (Dressage Royal x Ritual) was reported by the German equestrian magazine St. Georg.

Damsey was first competed at Grand Prix by Germany’s Steffen Frahm in 2013.

Helen took over the ride in 2016. A year later, the duo were on the German team that won gold at the European Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden and placed third in the World Cup Final in the same city in 2019.

Damsey never competed in the United States though may have been invited to the World Cup Final scheduled for Las Vegas last April but canceled because of coronavirus.
