Isabel Werth World Cup 2023 

The majesty of these horse bring tears to the eyes. They are so beautiful!!!

I attended and was sitting very near the camera location. I have been at five World Cup finals (Las Vegas 2005, 2007, 2009, 2015 and Omaha 2023) This was by far the 'deadest' audience I have seen at the World Cup Finals, primarily due to the fact that nearly half of the seats were empty. I assume they were bought either by corporate sponsors or scalpers, because I couldn't get any seats nearer the ring when I attempted to buy. Whoever had the seats either didn't show up or get people to come out. It really dampened the audience reaction. Hope it's better in Fort Worth in 2026.

I agree. She asks way too much. The horse was exhausted before the end. She is a wonderful trainer and rider but needs more empathy with the horse.

All I saw was soft listening ears and excited tension. Encouraging pats and what horse at that elite level of fitness can’t do less than 10 minutes of hard work with breaks in the walk and extended .

I agree Sharon it’s not as if she starts off working at this level! You build up to it this horse is fit fluid and seems happy to work. Such beautiful reach in the lateral work beautiful spring in the collected work. 🥰

And nose of horse in front of the vertical the whole time!!

Did you notice that the nose of the horse was in front of the vertical the whole time!!!

Im Schritt tritt er nicht einmal in den Abdruck des Vorderfußes. Mal abgesehen von deutlich sichtbarer Hilfengebung. In der spanischen Hofreitschule sieht Du nichts von Hilfengebung. Ich weiß gar nicht, warum so gejubelt wird.
