In front of a still very (too) sparse crowd, but with the support of an audience that nevertheless dared to express its enthusiasm (and it's good to sometimes see that !), Becky Moody and Jagerbomb presented their freestyle. Without any major mistakes, the son of Dante Weltino nevertheless showed pirouettes that could have been generally more uphill, as well as a collected walk slightly fast ; it must be said that the British rider seems careful to maintain the activity. Harmonious and in perfect harmony, they also achieved their new personal best of 88.330%.

In second place, we again find the American, Christian Simonson and his Indian Rock; a pair who knew how to catch the audience into their world, particularly thanks to the music from the film Rocky. Also without any major faults, the Americans have certainly earned their ticket to the World Championships in Aachen this summer. Always very expressive, the stallion by Apache nevertheless was sometimes short in th neck, especially in his two times flying changes, even though his rider often rode him with a loose double bride rein; a new personal best for them as well: 83.810%.

Third in the Grand Prix, Patrik Kittel ultimately missed out on a podium finish, which was claimed by Polish rider Sandra Sysojeva and her mare Maxima Bella. Never lacking in energy, the inexhaustible Oldenburg once again demonstrated the extent of its talent with its piaffe and passage, ultimately captivating the Texas crowd, who were cheered on by Beyoncé's "Texas Hold 'Em!" They left the arena with a score of 80.770%.
