Kim Pfeiffer and the Wurttemberger bred stallion Jackpot HS (by Johnson x Dr. Jackson D) were second with 7.4.
Fpur horses were entered for the 6-year old M-level dressage horse class and German A-team rider Dorothee Schneider won the division aboard First Romance (by Furst Romancier x Day Dream). The horse scored a total of 8.5 and for 9 for walk and trot, 8 for canter and 8.5 for submission and general impression.
