The high level of the freestyles continues as yet another grade is won with a score of over 80%. The German Grade II sensation of these championships - Heidemarie Dresing and Horse24 Dooloop - finished off an incredible week with 80.353 %, and gold in the freestyle.
Following closely in silver position was the British duo Georgia Wilson and Sakura with 79.367 %, while the bronze medal was claimed by the Norwegian rider Ann Cathrin Lübbe and La Costa Majlund with 74.540 %.
Speaking after her ride, Heidemarie says; “It feels like a dream come true! My dream was to ride 80%, as I said at the press conference, but after the ride I was not sure I reached that goal until I heard it over the speakers, so I was super happy that it came true”
“I think my music supports the program and the horse, so it becomes an artistic expression, and today that all came together perfectly”.
