Langehanenberg and Damon Hill score impressive double
In a double of doubles, Helen Langehanenberg together with Damon Hill NRW recorded a back-to-back World Cup serial victory on abode turf yesterday at Neumuenster inward Germany, where the distich every bit good reigned supreme in conclusion season.
The 30-year-old passenger together with her 13-year-old stallion produced a functioning of such character that the lawsuit inward the Reem Acra FEI World Cup Dressage Western European League qualifier was inward no uncertainty i time they posted their score of 87.800. In Amsterdam inward Kingdom of the Netherlands iv weeks ago, they beat out defending double-champions Adelinde Cornelissen together with Jerich Parzival inward Freestyle for the real commencement time. And on sun the the dynamic High German duo showed fifty-fifty greater confidence together with composure every bit they strutted to success inward front end of their abode crowd.
Cornelissen’s travelling steal on the Reem Acra FEI World Cup Dressage championship looks educate to live seriously challenged when the serial concluding takes house inward Gothenburg, Sweden at the destination of April. “When nosotros instruct to the concluding nosotros volition give our very, real best, together with if nosotros proceed this shape it volition live actually proficient sport together with real interesting!” Langehanenberg said.
Of the xv riders from 8 nations, Deutschland fielded iv together with captured the top 3 places. Kristina Sprehe, i of the novel moving ridge of exciting younger riders emerging into the sport for Deutschland together with a fellow member of the London 2012 Olympic squad silvery medal side, slotted into minute amongst Desperados FRH piece the veteran together with quondam FEI World Cup Dressage champion, Isabell Werth, finished tertiary amongst Don Johnson FRH.
Danish riders claimed 4th together with 5th places, together with i time once again Sidsel Johansen together with Schianto won the hearts of the spectators amongst some other joyous together with pleasing performance. And, for the minute fourth dimension this season, the crowd expressed their disappointment at the score awarded to the Danish duo. But judges Katrina Wuest (GER), Dr Evi Eisenhardt (GER), Ghislain Fouarge (NED), Leif Tornblad (DEN) together with Marietta Almasy (FRA) were real much inward understanding every bit Johansen’s 72.660 left them inward 5th place.
The lawsuit has rocketed Sprehe upwards to the top of the leaderboard, with, however, just a single-point wages over long-time leader Valentina Truppa from Italy going into the in conclusion qualifying leg at ‘s-Hertogenbosch, Kingdom of the Netherlands inward iv weeks’ time. Langehanenberg lies tertiary ahead of Sweden’s Tinne Vilhelmson-Silfven inward 4th together with Dutchman Edward Gal inward 5th place.
The lawsuit every bit good mirrored that of Saturday’s Grand Prix inward which Damon Hill’s score of 83.310 left Langehanenberg most 5 amount marks ahead of Desperados together with Sprehe piece Don Johnson together with Werth claimed third.
As the Freestyle got nether way, it was Finland’s Terhi Stegars together with the handsome Trakehner Axis TSF who were the commencement to score over lxx per cent when achieving 71.150, together with and thus The Netherlands’ Marlie von Baalen together with BMC Miciano raised the bar amongst a score of 73.850. However it was the latter’s Dutch counterpart Patrick van der Meer who held the clear Pb earlier the judging break. He position upwards a lovely functioning from the 11-year-old Uzzo that included elegant piaffe together with passage for a grade of 76.425 – a personal-best Freestyle score for this talented partnership.
Third to instruct of the concluding group, Langehanenberg together with Damon Hill were stunning from start to finish. The stallion’s big, build clean together with rhythmic passage, his boldness inward canter together with his stillness inward piaffe, their steadiness, fluency together with togetherness together with their overall air of absolute confidence saw them rewarded amongst artistic marks of 94.000 per cent past times Wuest, 92.000 from both Eisenhardt together with Fouarge, 91.000 per cent from Almasy together with 86.000 from Tornblad. The crowd erupted amongst delight together with appreciation as 87.800 went upwards on the scoreboard.
Now it was just a thing of who could come upwards closest, together with multiple champion, 43-year-old Isabell Werth, steered Don Johnson to a score of 83.000 earlier 23-year-old Anna Kasprzak launched into her flooring conception that began amongst canterwork together with earned her a grade of 81.075 amongst Donnperignon.
The remaining Danish partnership of Johansen together with Schianto were second-last to go, together with the 14-year-old horse, who ever looks every bit if he is thoroughly enjoying himself inward the ring, showed tremendous elevation inward passage together with piaffe, ability together with courage inward extended canter together with a full general joyousness that has proven especially infectious this season. Their grade of 80.050 didn’t delight the onlookers, but Johansen’s ear-to-ear smiling showed that she knew they had i time once again produced a crowd-pleasing effort.
Sprehe was in conclusion into the ring, together with the 26-year-old passenger could stimulate got been forgiven for a niggling uneasiness every bit the crowd’s reaction to Johansen’s score seemed to disturb the concentration of her Equus caballus at the real start. But the pure character of his drive was sufficient to guarantee a strong lawsuit for Desperados who recovered to demonstrate strong piaffe together with piaffe/pirouette on their means to clinching runner-up spot amongst 84.425 per cent.
For Langehanenberg, the World Cup serial has been pivotal. “It’s true, I stimulate got grown upwards inward this series, it has helped me to live ameliorate inward every way,” said the passenger who commencement came to existent prominence during the 2010/2011 season. While good known on the national circuit earlier that, she alone actually began to present her potential at international grade throughout the wintertime of 2010 and, over the 2 subsequent seasons, she has blossomed into a super-star of the sport. Runner-up behind Cornelisen at in conclusion year’s World Cup Final, she looks good educate to oust her biggest competitor this fourth dimension roughly if all goes to plan.
But bragging together with boasting is non her style. So when asked if she idea she could go out Cornelissen inward her wake when it comes to the concluding inward Gothenburg subsequently inward the spring, Langehanenberg said amongst some stoicism, “we all stimulate got thus many hopes together with thus many dreams but they don’t ever come upwards true. My dreams together with my aims stimulate got ever been clear, but I don’t allow them position pressure level on myself or on my horse. You just never know how it volition operate out. We remain focused together with nosotros operate difficult to make our goals, I am just real happy that nosotros are succeeding correct now,” she said.
That focus is on the Reem Acra FEI World Cup Dressage 2012/2013 title. She was unsure if she would convey out her stallion at ‘s-Hertogenbosch adjacent month. “We volition at i time brand a conception for how to role the fourth dimension inward betwixt at i time together with the final. I’m non certain yet just what nosotros volition do, nosotros volition brand a conclusion adjacent week,” she said. One means or another, she looks educate to supply formidable opposition to the balance of the world-class line-up every bit the serial concluding begins to unfold.
