Not exactly without horses between Glamourdale, Ilegro or even Kjento which she is presenting in the Netherlands, Charlotte Fry also made her Nalegro debut yesterday on Inter II.

Bred by J. Hanse, Nalegro was Reserve Champion, then Champion of the Dutch circuit for young

It is logically in the North East of the Netherlands and closed to the German border that Dutch dressage launched today some horses that could well represent one day in a soon future its colors ; a competition that had also been chosen by their leaders: Marieke van der Putten and her Zantana RS2 NOP.

Having been absent from the CDI circuit for several months, Camille Judet Chéret and Corentin Pottier chose Austria for their 2026 comeback; a return following, in particular, the accident the rider suffered at the beginning of the year. So, it was off to Austria this week and the relatively confidential international competition in Gössendorf, where five horse-and-rider pairs competed in the 4* today.

While Justin Verboomen, Charlotte Fry & Isabell Werth chose Fontainebleau last week for a confrontation that clearly smelled of the World Championships in Aachen, the Dane Cathrine Laudrup Dufour, recent world number 1 with her 17-year-old MSJ Freestyle, had opted for the CDI 4* Hagen; a strategy of avoidance and/or a happy coincidence for those who signed on to the CDI 5* in Herning, at home, therefore, an 84.174% on the Grand Prix.
