2004 CDIO Aachen Guenter Seidel and Aragon Win CDI Grand Prix July 15, 2004
Hubertus Schmidt followed closely on Seidel's heels with his 73.167% score aboard the Hanoverian mare Wansuele Suerte (by Warkant). Schmidt has to produce top scores this weekend at Aachen, because it is his last chance to capture a spot in the German Olympic Team. To procure a place on the "Mannschaft" Schmidt has to beat Martin Schaudt's performance in the CDIO-tour. Placing third in the CDI Grand Prix were Ellen Schulten Baumer on the impressive Hanoverian gelding Lesotho (by Lauries Crusador xx). Schulten Baumer scored 71.708% and beat Ann Kathrin Linsenhoff on Wahajama (by Warkant) who got 71.583%. Steffen Peters and Floriano, who are also vying for a place in the American Olympic Team, had a good ride and scored 71.167% which put them in 6th position. Robert Dover's Rainier seems to be over his summit condition and got only a 67.458% from the judges. The combination ranked 14th. Colombian Dr. Cesar Parra, who resides in Whitehouse Station, NJ, and is currently training with Hubertus Schmidt, finished in 20th place with a 64.542% aboard his Selle Francais stallion Galant du Serein. by Astrid Appels of Eurodressage.com Back to the 2004 CHIO Aachen Index |
