DRESSPROD

c 3 days before the start of the competition, and as the horses arrive on site, there is, once again, a change among the starting pairs, with, finally, the withdrawal of the Canadian Brittany Fraser-Beaulieu and her Jaccardo. Winners of the Toronto leg in November with a score of 77.520%, and runners-up in Ocala in December and Wellington last February, Brittany Fraser-Beaulieu and her 12-year-old son, Desperado & Jazz, will not be concluding their first year in the CDI with

While the reasons for Charlotte Dujardin's withdrawal remain unclear, for Carina Cassoe Kruth it was administrative formalities that prevented her participation. Although they were ready and about to depart, disagreements between the organizer's transport co

A bombshell dropped this morning, and it's no joke: Justin Verboomen is no longer world number one. For the first time since September, he has been dethroned by Denmark's Cathrine Laudrup Dufour, who has climbed from 25th to first place thanks to her victories at the Herning CDI 5*. Now in second place, Justin Verboomen still leads Isabell Werth, while Becky Moody drops from 4th to 5th. Further down the rankings, Jessica von Bredow Werndl has made a significant leap, climbing
