Dressage trainer Todd Flettrich and his mount Otto, owned by Cherry Knoll Farm, had an exciting victory in Friday afternoon's Grand Prix de Dressage. Competing in the main arena at the Jim Brandon Equestrian Center, Flettrich and Otto completed their Grand Prix test with a score of 67.8% for the overall victory, and qualified to compete in Saturday's Grand Prix Special following the win.
Otto, a 13-year-old Danish Warmblood, was purchased by Cherry Knoll Farm in 2009, and Flettrich has worked on forming a good partnership with the horse over the last year. Flettrich was very pleased with his test and thought that Otto was great for his first show back since Devon. "My goal truly was not to make any mistakes and I was a bit nervous myself because I haven't shown since Devon and I didn't have any kind of practice run," Flettrich noted. "I felt a little bit ill prepared, but I really was very happy with him. Otto definitely has more in him than I did today, but he did everything that I asked and I achieved my goal."

Belinda talked with Barb Fogler of Barnmice.com about her ride and her horse. Fogler asked what the highlights of the test were to which Trussell replied, "The whole test felt so energetic and fluent. The highlights were Anton’s piaffe and his extensions at both trot and canter, which felt fantastic. My husband Mark said the extended canter looked like I was surfing a wave!"
