Ukrainian Inna Logutenkova achieved a double whammy at the inaugural Eastern European League World Cup qualifier in Siauliai, Lithuania on 9 - 10 October 2015. After winning the World Cup event in Tallinn, Estonia, last week, Logutenkova also conquered Siauliai aboard Don Gregorius.
It is for the first time that the Siauliai Horse Show staged an international dressage competition. Most riders who competed in Tallinn also travelled to Siauliai and in the end a small goup of seven riders contested the Grand Prix and Kur to Music. The judges at the Lithuanian World Cup qualifier were Larysa Velyka (UKR), Marietta Almasy (FRA), Yuri Romanov (RUS), Iryna Shulga (UKR) and Francisco Guerra Diaz (ESP).
Inna Logutenkova took first and second place in the World Cup Freestyle. She took first place with her top horse Don Gregorius, a 13-year-old Oldenburger stallion by Don Cardinale x Placido. The combination scored 75.575% for the victory. The Belgian based student of Sjef Janssen also finished second with her 12-year old gelding Fleraro (by Flemmingh x Royal Z) on a score of 71.750%. Russia's Elena Sidneva slotted in third with the 14-year-old Hanoverian bred Romeo Star. They got 70.925% from the panel of judges; a mistake in the one tempi changes kept the score from going over 71%.
