Isabell Werth and Satchmo win gold
Isabell Werth and Satchmo win gold
Isabell Werth (GER) and her 12-year old gelding Satchmo rode the Grand Prix Special of a lifetime. With a result of 79.480, they are World Champions. "It was the best test I've ever ridden," a very emotional Isabell declared. "We made no mistakes; I can't tell you what a feeling that is." This result is all the more rewarding given the impossibly difficult horse Satchmo used to be. He would rear in the middle of test never giving his rider a chance. No specialist could believe that such a badly behaved horse would ever be any good to anyone. And yet a miracle has happened. With much hard work and faith, the former hooligan has now turned in a World Champion. "Satchmo is the best horse I've ever had," Isabell maintains... The great surprise of this Championship, Andreas Helgstrand (DEN) and Blue Hors Matine, take the bronze. Last season had been a successful one but there had been little mistakes here and there. The winter was spent training at home.
