The pointing at the horse at the end of the test, also known as "The Anky Finger", is done by many riders. Here you see Jose Daniel Martin Dockx pointing at Grandioso
Tinne Vilhelmson and Don Auriello finished fifth. The pair impresses with the fantastic contact with the bit and half passes but the passage continues to be underwhelming with a dragging hindleg
Anna Kasprzak and Donnperignon finished seventh with 76.620%. The Finnish warmblood missed part of the show season because of an eye operation but successfully returned to the ring
Italian Valentina Truppa on Eremo del Castegno (by Rohdiamant) landed 8th place with 75.080%
Michael Eilberg and Half Moon Delphi probably secured themselves a spot on the British WEG team with their 74.640 % earning Grand Prix
Kristina Sprehe and Desperados were not on best form today. The horse struggled with the regularity in the rhythm and had mistakes in the two tempi changes. The piaffe and pirouettes were great
Morgan Barbançon and Painted Black produced a seasonal best score in Aachen of 73.260%. After injuring himself in 2012, Painted Black has struggled to find form and fitness but was totally back in Aachen!
Laura Graves and Verdades were the best U.S. pair. The duo excelled with their softness and suppleness, but they missed the onset of the one tempi's and the stretched piaffe underwhelms despite the good rhythm
Jose Antonio Garcia Mena and Norte finished 14th with 72.700%
Hans Peter Minderhoud and Flirt de Lully. The horse is a scopy mover but struggles much with the balance in the piaffe
Caroline Roffman on Her Highness. The mare is still developing much. While she has become more relaxed, she still does not achieve overtrack in the trot extensions and is not yet self-assured in the piaffe. Mistakes in the ones tampered with the score.

American Tina Konyot on Calecto V had too many mistakes to crack a 70% score. Breaks in the rhythm, a crooked final extended trot and a croup high passage reduced their score to 67.560%
