Six Swiss dressage riders were invited for a dressage demonstration at the international show jumping competition in Humlikon, Switzerland, on Sunday afternoon 11 September 2011. Markus Graf won the Kur and enthused the crowds
which came in hords to the event hosted in the wine area near Zurich.
Last year dressage was introduced to the audience of the CSI Humlikon via such a demonstration and due to its success it was repeated this year. The class, the Grand Prix Kur, was judged by Béatrice Bürchler, Steffy Kuriger, and Alice Herzog and commented on by German judge Dieter Plewa.
Markus Graf and his grey Ronaldo (by Gribaldi) won the freestyle with 72.33%, followed by Jeannine Zuber on Wesergeist (69.75%), Antonella Joannou on Wantino Ch (68.42%), Melanie Hofmann on Cazzago (68.06%), Patricia Sarasin on Roddick (66.58) and Andrea Wicki-Mader on a spooky Distelzar (64.92%).
