AACHEN, Germany, Sept. 16, 2021–Fabienne Müller-Lütkemeier rode the 10-year-old Valesco to victory in the World Equestrian Festival CDI3* Grand Prix Thursday for an undefeated international record for the German partnership.
In the first major dressage competition at the premier show in more than two years–coronavirus forced cancellation in 2020–Fabienne and the Westfalen gelding were awarded 74.174%. The pair won both previous Big Tour starts earlier in the month after two victories in two starts at Small Tour two years ago.
Denmark’s Anna Kasprzak and Rock Star posted a personal best score of 73.935% for runner-up, the pair’s highest placing at Big Tour. The previous best score for the pair was 73.717% 2 1/2 years ago. Anna first competed Rock Star at Big Tour in 2017 as a successor to her 2012 and 2016 Olympic mount Donnperignon.
Emmelie Scholtens of the Netherlands on Desperado was third on 73.783%.
Alice Tarjan of the USA on Candescent had a disappointing European debut. The pair were eliminated after the horse apparently bit the inside of his mouth to draw blood.
German team rider Helen Langehanenberg and Schoene Scarlett, an eight-year-old Hanoverian mare, made their international debut to win the Prix St. Georges on a score of 76.324%.
Fellow German team rider Frederic Wandres on Quizmaster placed second on a personal best 75.059%. Frederic and the nine-year-old Hanoverian stallion competed at last winter’s Global Dressage Festival in Wellington, Florida and were on the German gold medal team in the Nations Cup.
