WELLINGTON, Florida, Mar. 17, 2021–Two dominating Small Tour performances gave Germany the lead over the United States midway through the Global Dressage Festival Nations Cup Wednesday to kick off the 2021 trans-Atlantic series.
Frederic Wandres on Quizmaster with 74.765% and the U.S.-based Kevin Kohmann on Five Star with 74.177% in the Prix St. Georges set Germany up for the lead with Christoph Koschel on Eaton Unitechno receiving a personal best 72.891% for the Grand Prix that was given a 1.5% bonus and a team result of 223.333.
The United States team of all Big Tour horses–Adrienne Lyle on Harmony’s Duval with 73.935%, Benjamin Ebeling on Illuster van de Kampert with 72.152% and Jennifer Williams on Millione with 71.783%–each received the 1.5% bonus and a team total of 222.370

Canada was in third place on 217.848, the team led by Chris von Martels on Eclips with a personal best 72.870%. Brittany Fraser-Beaulieu on All In was on 70.391% and Lindsay Kellock on 70.087%, all Grand Prix horses entitled to 1.5% bonuses.
Australia’s three-member team of two Small Tour combinations and one Big Tour horse was fourth on 192.239.

The Nations Cup will be decided Thursday by the Grand Prix Special for Big Tour horses and Intermediate 1 for Small Tour. The Wellington event is the only competition in the series that is mixed levels, the same as the Pan American Games.
