Bella Rose's winning come back at the 2021 CDI Mannheim sufficed to be immediately re-submitted into the German A-team from which the Olympic team will be picked.
Werth's 17-year old Westfalian mare Bella Rose (by Belissimo M x Cacir AA) made a winning come back in Hagen after a 20-month hiatus from competition. She scored 79.957% and 80.277% for two trophies.
