The atmosphere is one thing, the conditions for the horse are quite another. The german dressage rider Isabell Werth is one who probably knows all the major tournaments in the world. “Amsterdam is an exceptionally beautiful indoor tournament,” she says. “It is great fun to ride here. The conditions are excellent, the sand, the space, the temperatures, big boxes for the horses. The focus is on sport, but there is also delicious eating and partying. Hardly anyone can do that as good as the Dutch.”
Winner Isabell Werth is of course happy about the victory with her mare Weihegold. She started five times with the horse at World Cup stages in Amsterdam and five times they won. The competition is tough. And not only the British Charlotte Dujardin with her mare Freestyle, which is impressive due to her movements and her lightness, Isabell Werth had in her neck this time. In the end, however, she was ahead with more 90 percent.
