The standard of Dressage was incredibly high. Not surprisingly, Germany took the Team Gold medal, but the Dutch team, which included Marrigje Van Baalen, a niece of Coby Van Baalen, finished a close second, just 12 marks behind.
British team, in bronze medal position, included Lorna Edmonds, daughter of well-known British TV personality Noel Edmonds. She also finished individually sixth.
All Individual medals went to Germany, with the Gold to Katharina Winkelhues who was defending her title.
The facilities at Necarne Castle were excellent. The sand arena in Walled Garden was an ideal location for Dressage. The cross-country course is truly all-weather and had been significantly altered for the championships.
