Bad patch for Hubertus Schmidt: the German rider has been the victim of a serious accident. Born in 1959, Hubertus Schmidt amassed over the years one of the most impressive records in German dressage, especially with Wansuela Suerte, with whom he was Olympic Team Champion in Athens (video 1) and 3rd in the World Cup Final in Düsseldorf in 2004, European Team Champion and Individual European Vice-Champion in Hagen in 2005, World Team Champion in Aachen in 2006.

Organized for the first time by Rom Vermunt, Gert Jan van Olst, Jeroen Witte, Marcel van Manen, Diederik van Silfhout, Jorg van Os, Peter Wetzelaer, Sjoerd van Leeuwen, and Sjaak van der Lei, the new Dutch Dressage Traders sale offered 12 dressage horses for sale.

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

There's still movement in the starting list for the Fort Worth World Cup Final. After Charlotte Dujardin withdrew, American Benjamin Ebeling finally received a wildcard entry. Fifth in the North American league with 52 points, the 26-year-old rider, partnered with his 16-year-old mare Bellena (previously ridden by his father Jan), won the Devon leg in September, took second place in Myakka City, fifth in Ocala, and seventh in Wellington.

After the success we know with Djembe de Hus, Justin Verboomen has seen his string of horses enriched in recent weeks with another well-known French Grand Prix horse: Fellini du Soleil, Stéphanie Brieussel's horse.
