Flash Quotes 

Isabell Werth GER 

- Weihe is in the best form ever! It was a clear test without mistakes and with a lot of precision, so I’m completely happy! For me the challenge was to take enough risk but not too much because I knew the rest behind me want to make me angry!! 

Sonke Rothenberger GER

- I know my horse (Cosmo) can do it, and I never doubted from the first day I sat on him that he could beat anybody if things work out the way I would want, but it’s always a different story to bring it on the day, which is what Isabell is so good at….doing it on the day, on the spot when you need it and that’s what we try to work on, and that’s what we train for every day. We are getting closer and closer, but we are not quite there yet!

Cathrine Dufour DEN 
I’m so pleased with the test today. He felt real calm today and it was so fun to ride here. I love when the audience give applause on the centerline.

Helen Langenhanenberg GER 
This was not our best performance, he did not doing the piaffe for instance. I have a good feeling but then I lost him. He got hot on tjhe prizegiving in Wednesday. Dont really now why but I couldn’t really get him back from there.

Anna Kasprzak DEN 
Really happy whit my ride today, the piaffes was good and the canterwork was really good I think. My horse felt fine and is really fun to work with. 
I have a mistake in the halfpass to the right that was quit expensive, everything comes quickly in the Special. The arena amazing and there was more spectators today.

Francis Verbeek van Rooy (NED) Judge at C

-It’s very exciting, the other two (Rothenberger and Dufour) are so young and they are the future of our sport - there are now so many young people on top level world-wide.”

Dorothee Schneider GER 
-Very happy this was our third international start, he is very young and very talented in piaffe and passage. We had two expensive mistakes but he has gone from his first international start to the team in a very short time.

Anna Zibrandtsen DEN 
Super feeling when we entered the arena and started off very well. He could be more collected in the passage and the piaffe could be better. He is quite unexperienced and this is only our fifth competition. We had an unexpected big mistake in the canter but I managed to come back and do the the tempest whitout mistakes, Our pirouettes was quite good. Not my best test but good enough.

Therese Nilshagen SWE 
Fantastic feeling, he was with me all the way. I heard the audience and I just enjoy it. I wasn’t that nervous today, the bronze medal made me feel that whatever happens we’ve got that.

Patrik Kittel SWE 
Personal best for Dealuney and I’m so happy. He felt relaxed and in very good shape. He really showed his best. Let the audience give hands the horses have to learn and get used to it.

Tinne Vilhelmson-Silfven SWE 
-We want to have more, so even after the team medal I still feel hungry for success. My horse has never done a championship like this before, so I am extremely proud of him. We have had him since he is three, and I have ridden him for the last year. He has really done great the whole week and I feel fortunate to have the option to come here with him.

Diederik Van Silfhout NED 
-Actually I was really happy with my test even if I had two little mistakes and those were very expensive. It was the second special for my horse so I am very pleased with him. My horse has super mentality and that is why we are here now!

Severo Jesus Jurado Lopez ESP 
-I am happy, I think I got out what I could, I am happy with the job. My horse was a little bit tense so that cots some points. It is my second time here.

Madeleine Witte-Vrees NED 
-It was our first Special today, so I can’t be anything but happy. My horse was magnificient today. The little misses that happened were totally my fault – I am very proud of my horse.

Jorinde Verwimp BEL 
- I tried to ride more expressive today than yesterday. We had two big mistakes in the canter, so our score dropped. I took a risk today with my riding and this time it did not pay off, but that is how it is sometimes – but at least I can say I tried. I think the show here in Gothenburg is nice and the arena is great to ride on. It is different being here only as an individual and not with the team, now I can only focus on myself. It was very unfortunate that our third rider had to stay home after their horse got injured at the last moment.

Edward Gal NED  
-I don’t know what happened, really. My horse felt good in the warm-up, but as soon as I rode in to the arena, I felt a change in him and I knew it was all over there. But what can you do, I still had to finish… For the rest my week here has been good and we have been lucky with the weather, even if it has looked cloudy it has not rained too much. I think my chances to go further for the final are gone now.

Daniel Pinto POR 
-The most important thing for me now is that my horse felt great and he is young – we have future championships to take on. What I am really sad about, is that I disappointed my team; when I do a mistake like this, I let them all down. I feel really bad for all of them; my wife, my trainer, my groom, everyone - they follow me and work very hard and it is hard for me to let them down.

Emile Faurie GBR 
I’m thrilled with the horse, he is inexpierienced but he was a little more alert day. He only have done one Special before. He was a little bit ahead of me. He’s quiet a character and will be an exellent championship horse. I love riding him, he is really fun to ride.

Patrick van der Meer NED 
I’ happy whit my ride. He was ait tensed and we had some small mistakes but nothing big. Some mistake in the flying changes and a little tensed in the piaffe but this was one of his best Specials.

Spencer Wilton GBR 
He was a very good boy! Exept for the mistake in temps on the centerline he felt much mor confident today. I’m pleased with the score and hopefully we make it to Sunday, even though he hasn’t done so many music.

Tatyana Kosterina RUS 
-It is only my third time riding a Grand Prix Special with my horse, and I am simply very happy. He behaved really cool and did not look at anything, even thou the arena is massive and there is a lot to spook about. I can absolutely not complain about the organisation here, we are very well taken care of. It is a bit of a shame with the weather, but they are doing all they can to keep us and the horses comfortable.

Laurence Roos BEL 
-I am not happy with my ride today, I made too many mistakes. Maybe my horse was a bit too tired, or maybe I was not concentrated enough. It is all well organised here, there were some small issues in the beginning of the week but it has all been taken care of. We had a last moment change with the team, because the third horse got injured, so we are only two riders here from Belgium. I think it less pressure being here as an individual than being here with a team.

Belinda Weinbauer AUT 
-I was very nervous today, because in the warm-up my horse was really tense, so I was very worried going into the ring. I think our piruettes were better today than yesterday. My horse was fantastic today and I am so happy with him!

Rose Mathisen SWE 
-It is my birthday today, but I am not thinking about that when I am riding. It felt really nice going into the ring after getting the medal with the team yesterday - you feel more secure, when there has been some success already. My horse was really good today and I am happy with my result. Having these championships at home is very nice when you succeed, but for sure we are all more nervous than normal, because we are all trying extra hard not to let all the Swedish people down.

Agnete Kirk Thinggaard DEN 
-I think my program today was really good. My horse lacked the last spark he had on the first day, so I had to work a little bit harder. I almost had a mistake in the first piruette, but got it right just at the last moment. After getting the team medal here, actually today I felt a lot more pressure, because I was less confident. I really wanted to show everyone and got myself maybe too worked up about it – but in the end I was able to control my nerves.

Maria Caetano POR 
-I am happy with my horse, he is very young and it is only his second season on this level, so I am very proud of him. The mistake at the end was a pity: he lost one change behind. Passage, piaffe and all the trot work went really well and I am happy about that. The results here have been like my average procent thorughout the season – of course it would be nice to do a bit better at a championship. I think the atmosphere here is very nice and we have good conditions for both horses and riders.
