Just few weeks before the selections for the World Championships they will host in Aachen, our German neighbors are facing some unexpected twists.

Having been crowned Dutch Champion last weekend at the preparatory level for the Small Tour with her young stallion New Dreams, Adelinde Cornelissen then had to deal with the sudden loss of her other horse, Luqiedo, which she had just started competing in the Grand Prix. Bred by Aris van Manen, Luqiedo was a son of his former Grand Prix horse Aqiedo, out of a Stedinger mare. Trained since his young horse years by the former leader of Dutch dressage, Luqiedo finished 16th in t

Still with a substantial string of horses, the Swede Patrik Kittel benefits from a "new" Grand Prix horse, not entirely unknown: the Oldenburg stallion Zum Glück; information relayed in recent hours by Eurodressage. Bred by Ullrich Kasselmann, this son of Zonik & Florestan began his competitive career ridden by German Frederic Wandres in 2017; a year he was the top-priced horse at the PSI sales, for €850,000 from RS2 Dressage stables in the Netherlands. He then joined Robin v

Justin Verboomen and his uber-talented stallion Zonik Plus are back at the top of the world rankings after their most recent success, leading Team Belgium to Nations Cup victory on home soil in Lier last month. Verboomen now leads the athlete rankings on 2,026 points at the expense of former world number one Cathrine Laudrup-Dufour (DEN) on 2,018, with Charlotte (Lottie) Fry (GBR) also down a place to third on 1,971.

It now seems a long time ago that Carina Cassoe Kruth was in the news for the reasons we know... Not content with having qualified for the last World Cup Final without being able to participate due to an administrative mix-up, the Dane won the Danish Senior Championship yesterday. Since returning to competition, Carina Cassoe Kruth and her Furstenball mare have certainly made the news: in addition to missing out on the Fort Worth event, they previously won the Herning World C

Marieke van der Putten, the overwhelming favorite at the Dutch Championships, fully confirmed her status by winning her first senior title this afternoon; a culmination for someone who was long in the shadow of Edward Gal, Hans Peter Minderhoud and other Adelinde Cornelissen. At 44, Marieke van der Putten isn't the most well-known dutch rider to the general public, but she is nonetheless an experienced competitor. Riding for Edward Gal even before the Glock adventure began, s

After a busy few weeks of international competitions, the weekend is quieter in Europe, partly due to the ongoing national championships: following Vierzon a few days ago, Belgium and the Netherlands are currently crowning their champions. However, in Eastern Europe, the World Cup continues: Olomouc last week, Lipica this week, and Brno and Gosciszow next week. So it was just a stone's throw from the Italian border and the tourist town of Trieste that the dressage riders met,
