SALZBURG, Austria, Dec. 7, 2025–Poland’s Sandra Sysojeva on nine-year-old Maxima Bella claimed the Amadeus Horse Indoors CDI5* Grand Prix Freestyle Sunday.
Sandra and the Oldenburg mare scored 80.555% to edge out Isabel Freese of Norway on Total Hope OLD on 80.175%. With the win, the Polish Olympic team duo reversed the placings in the Grand Prix a day earlier.
Sandra and Maxima Bella, who began Big Tour almost two years ago and have logged 22 starts so far this year, have qualified as one of two combinations from Central Europe for the World Cup Final in Fort Worth next April.
Isabel Freese and Total Hope, 13-year-old Totilas stallion, mirrored the 2024 Olympics and this year’s World Cup Final and the European Championships as the Polish combination.
Denmark’s Nadja Aaboe Sloth and the 12-year-old Danish gelding Favour Gersdorf that was on Denmark’s European Championship team in August were awarded 78.885% for third, the same placing as in the Grand Prix.
