Nadine Capellmann was very happy about the week. With Farbenfroh, the local favourite for the first time won the "Prize of Deutsche Bank AG - Grand Prix Dressage of Aachen".
With 0,26 points he had an flimsy edge before her permanent rival Ulla Salzgeber. Juge Dr. Volker Moritz said: "Maybe the better technical performance in the freestyle had been the decisive factor for Farbenfroh." Salzgeber coolly commentated: "That's how the sport is like."
After all, Salzgeber could take comfort with the award as "Dressage Champion Aachen 2002", which she won with an edge of a good two points in front of Nadine Capellmann from Aachen, who in turn had ensured herself the "Piaffe-Prize" for the dressage rider amazone with the highest score in the tournament, which is awarded by the Liselott Schindling-Foundation for the promotion of dressage sport.
