Great Britain’s dancing duo Charlotte Dujardin too Valegro added a minute gilded to their bring upward – too the tertiary medal of their Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games debut – at the Grand Prix Freestyle inwards Normandy.

Their massive score of 92.161% lit upward the scoreboard, much to the delight of the crowd. Winning the Freestyle completes the set, pregnant the talented duo tin forthwith add together the entitle of World Champions to their already impressive resume, amongst their Olympic too European titles.
After her exam a delighted Dujardin said: “It’s my tertiary fourth dimension riding that exam then it’s even then real new, then to gain what I’ve done with it is fantastic. He but felt brilliant; I’m real pleased too absolutely over the moon.
“It’s but absolutely incredible. After London I didn’t recall it could teach much better, but to become to the Europeans too come upward away with ii golds too forthwith to come upward away with or then other ii golds too a squad argent I but couldn’t stimulate got asked for whatever more. I but become out in that location too stimulate got fun, I don’t actually recall well-nigh the pressure. Riding a Equus caballus similar Valegro gives yous then much confidence I but become inwards in that location too gain my best too that’s all I tin do.”
Germany’s Helen Langehanenberg too Damon Hill secured argent on 88.286 over Adelinde Cornelissen too Jerich Parzival (85.714). Petite Langehanenberg hugged her large nighttime chestnut “Dami” too blew kisses inwards every administration after her ride that she said “felt similar his best freestyle ever”. But i time again the couplet missed out inwards the duel for top spot.
For Adelinde Cornelissen the contest proved that the days of retirement are non in that location yet for Parzival. “We maintain going equally long equally he rides similar today.” The Dutch bronze medallist too her 17-year old chestnut gelding turned the tabular array on High German squad gold-medallist Kristina Sprehe too Desperados, who had bested them inwards the previous private medal run across at grand prix special.
As the Dutch passenger said afterwards her wonderful chestnut Equus caballus “feels similar he’s 7 years old, non 17. He’s amazing too he but keeps doing his best over too over again”.
“A lot of people said his best days were over, but a bronze medal inwards the World Championships proves that they were wrong!” said Cornelissen this evening. “It’s non slowly to ride after Charlotte, in that location was a lot of dissonance but I idea ‘take it slowly too but gain your ain thing’,” Cornelissen said.
“Now it is but well-nigh keeping him fit too happy too he volition even then live on in that location for the Olympics (Rio 2016). As long equally he even then loves the games, nosotros won’t live on stopping.”
Langehanenberg was also delighted with her result. “This is my offset globe championships too I’m going domicile with squad gilded too ii private argent medals. I’m then proud of Dami, I bask him every fourth dimension I become inwards the arena too he e'er does his real best for me. Dami tin speak too read. He’s to a greater extent than than whatever other horse. He’s but perfect. He had the best grapheme yous could have.”
Morgan Barbancon was offset to become of the fifteen qualified for the Freestyle, too the 22-year-old produced a lovely exam to laid the footstep with Painted Black, i of 3 17-year-old horses inwards the field. The dark stallion, formerly competed yesteryear Anky van Grunsven, has established a actually prissy partnership with the immature Castilian rider, too the couplet looked relaxed too happy equally they racked upward the offset target grade of 74.393.
Hans Peter Minderhoud bettered that when posting 75.554, but the Dutch passenger wasn’t then happy. “The Equus caballus was confused too idea the exam was finished halfway through!” he said afterwards. “It was difficult to teach him to concentrate but he is even then immature too needs to develop to a greater extent than ability too gain to a greater extent than experience. And nosotros mustn’t forget he made it into the concluding 15.”
Carl Hester was side yesteryear side inwards with Nip Tuck, too i time once again the British veteran produced or then wonderful operate from the 10-year-old bay gelding who temporarily taking the Pb on 76.589.
But his argent medal winning team-mate, Michael Eilberg, speedily took over at the top of the leaderboard when posting 79.696 with Half Moon Delphi. The charming grayness mare showed lovely, rhythmical operate too increased inwards confidence every fourth dimension she entered the arena this week.
The Pb continued to alter hands too the scores continued to rocket upwards equally the minute one-half of the contest evolved. Austria’s Victoria Max-Theurer too Augustin posted the offset score over lxxx per cent at 81.036 solely for that to live on improved upon yesteryear i of the most exciting novel partnerships inwards action.
Grand Prix Special bronze medallist, Germany’s Kristina Sprehe, followed with a superb functioning from Desperados FRH who sparkled to select the target grade to 83.125. But ii horses later, too with but 3 left to go, Helen Langehanenberg too Damon Hill NRW raised the stakes fifty-fifty higher with a exam that was polish equally silk.
The target was forthwith standing at 88.286, but that was never going to faze Dujardin too Valegro, who arrived into the arena to yet or then other primeval roar from the crowd earlier setting off to weave their magical spell i time to a greater extent than too set the trial beyond doubtfulness when posting 92.196.
For their test, Dujardin had chosen the cinema music of “How to develop a dragon” too Valegro, non scary dragon-like at all, mesmerized the spectators with his overall charisma too quality, i time again with pirouettes too piaffes similar a metronome.
The globe entitle Freestyle was a solar daytime to shine for young-and comings similar USA’s Laura Graves, riding Dutch-bred chocolate-brown gelding Verdades to 5th house or Victoria Max-Theurer from Austria, powerfully piloting Augustin closely next behind. And it was a slight disappointment for Swedish veteran Tine Vilhelmson-Silfven. At her tertiary World Equestrian Games she made Don Auriello “wave” to the spectators, finishing inwards half-pirouettes changing administration equally if greeting the populace at both sides. “At to the lowest degree I tried,” she said regarding her score for 7th place.
Laura Graves has appeared almost out of nowhere to house herself amongst the elite of the sport this summer, too her success is all the to a greater extent than heart-warming for the fact that she is riding a Equus caballus that damage her but €1000. Hers is a flush of deep dedication too a lot of difficult work, too i time once again today the 27-year-old passenger too her 12-year-old Dutch gelding were completely at i when throwing downward a nifty grade of 82.036 inwards but the tertiary Freestyle of their career.
That would bear witness expert plenty for 5th house amongst a plain of champions. Graves said afterwards that her recipe for success is to maintain things methodical, too that her trial proves “that but beingness patient too doing what yous know is correct tin teach yous to where yous desire to go!”
Hester rode a lovely exam with the ever impressive Nip Tuck, to a personal best with 76.589%, inwards solely his tertiary Freestyle.
Commenting afterwards he said: “He’s been absolutely superb. He has exceeded mine, the owners, all our expectations; he’s but been a consummate too utter genius this week. How he’s managed to cope, how he’s managed to stimulate got inwards the dissonance too the atmosphere has been amazing.
“There are even then a few technical things that demand adjusting, obviously, but he is going to grow upward too he is such a large hope! He doesn’t actually hear the dissimilar situations, the dissonance too all that. I stimulate got a confident Equus caballus now. The 3 extended trots were great, fifty-fifty though they are non his common highlights. We’ll stimulate got a tip top programme for side yesteryear side year!”
“Richard Waygood, our Chef said to me ‘when yous rode in, it was similar beingness at a football game match’ [the dissonance from the crowd], it actually does experience similar that, the wall of audio is deafening too in that location were then many Union flags everywhere yous looked.”
Dujardin meanwhile joked that retirement may forthwith live on her solely alternative forthwith after taking all the top titles available inwards the sport. “I stimulate got such a fantastic Equus caballus too this calendar week I had or then of my real best rides I’ve ever had inwards the Grand Prix too the Special. Today I went out in that location to stimulate got fun, it’s solely the tertiary fourth dimension we’ve used this music too I but couldn’t live on happier!”
