Swiss photographer Birgit sent a selection of photos to Eurodressage from the 2006 CDI Berne. Swiss Silvia Ikle won the Grand Prix Kur to Music aboard her 2002 World Equestrian Games mount Romario. In the Grand Prix she finished sixth with 68.542 % but she won the Kur with 72.900%.
Ikle's top horse, however, is Salieri CH, a Swiss bred gelding with whom she has competed at the 2005 European Dressage Championships and with whom she's aiming for an individual medal at the 2006 World Equestrian Games.

The 2006 CDI Berne was organized by former Olympic champion Christine Stuckelberger.
