Adelinde and Parzival make it two-in-a-row at Lyon

Nov 3, 2012

Defending champions, Adelinde Cornelissen and Jerich Parzival, once again stamped their authority all over the opposition when racking up their second successive victory in the Reem Acra FEI World Cup™ Dressage Western European League qualifier at Lyon in France friday night. The Dutch partnership scored a massive 89.375 to leave them well clear of runners-up Valentina Truppa and Eremo del Castegno from Italy, while it was a very satisfying day for Kristina Sprehe who slotted into third with Desperados FRH.

In thursday's Grand Prix the 26 year old German rider endured an uncomfortable time as her 11 year old stallion bubbled over with excitement to finish well down the line in eighth place. In the Freestyle however they produced a much more focused performance to edge ahead of Sweden's Patrik Kittel and Watermill Scandic HBC in the final line-up.
