Description
Hans Peter Minderhoud and Tango slotted in sixth with 76.125%. They rode to music from The Mask of Zorro. They had a clean ride with wonderful passage work but the pirouettes were a bit big and the horse's head should be more steady at the vertical.

Description
Isabell Werth and El Santo redeemed themselves in the Kur. Powerful extensions, half passes and passage work, but hardly a proper piaffe. Werth still scored 79% which some find surprising considering the absence of a decent piaffe.

Tinne Vilhelmson and Don Auriello premiered their new kur with music by The Who. This majestic but busy music with lots of guitar and brass was synchronous to the gaits of the horse and supported the technically difficult floorplan
