Jan Ebeling & Rafalca: "There were little mistakes in the two's but that's difficult on the rail there, there was a little spook. But it's not an Operating Room in there; it's a live arena. And we got more exposure and next time we'll be better."

Description
Hans Peter Minderhoud and Tango slotted in sixth with 76.125%. They rode to music from The Mask of Zorro. They had a clean ride with wonderful passage work but the pirouettes were a bit big and the horse's head should be more steady at the vertical.

Description
Isabell Werth and El Santo redeemed themselves in the Kur. Powerful extensions, half passes and passage work, but hardly a proper piaffe. Werth still scored 79% which some find surprising considering the absence of a decent piaffe.
