A tough battle is taking place at the final Western European League World Cup qualifier in Gothenborg, Sweden. Three Dutch riders (Adelinde, Anky and Imke) are fighting for one last entry ticket to the 2010 World Cup Finals hosted in The Netherlands. The Kur to Music is the decisive round, but in the Grand Prix it was Adelinde Cornelissen with Parzival (by Jazz) who reigned supreme. Though the panel of five judges were remarkably in unison in their assessment of the top ten combinations (their scores hardly varied more than two percent), Adelinde's scores went up and down. All judges placed her first though, no doubt, but Danish judge Baarup scored her ride 81,489% while Swedish judge Jansen Iacobeus had it on 75.957%. That's more than 5,5% difference. Cornelissen's ride was mainly error-free though build-up of tension in the first piaffe resulted in resistance from Parzival by rearing and turning round. Cornelissen was on the ball though and fixed the problem straight away.
