The 2011 World Cup Dressage Finals in Leipzig are ready to start tonight with the first phase, the Grand Prix, which begans at 18.10h. All horses passed the vet checked but Ukrainian Sergey Pusko unfortunately withdrew his horse Kompliment from competition. Seventeen other dressage riders from all over the world are ready for lift off.
The 2011 World Cup Finals are taking place at the Leipzig exhibition centre, a brand new complex with the most amazing facilities for the horses, riders, press and spectators.
