Munich, Germany (May 21, 2012) The German edition of the World Dressage Masters presented by Axel Johnson Group was clearly more than fantastic success. It was epic. A field of heavy hitters were battling for the title of "The World Dressage Master", 9 nations were represented and 19 of the best horses and riders in the world. No one could predict the outcome of the exciting three days. Not even the judges. But it ended with a surprise - a celebration of new young talents - two eleven year-old horses in the lead, that became the highlights of the event El Santo and Eremos del Castegno. The judges themselves admitted they had a hard job, judging so many horses and riders of such eminent quality. But after three days it was clear: the Munich show was dominated by the Italian Valentina Truppa and her new fantastic mover Eremo Del Categno and Germany's veteran Isabel Werth and her talented 11-year old El Santo.

2 The two were in the lead at the Grand Prix, where Isabell won with an almost perfect ride, though some minor mistakes in the piaffe work, closely followed by Truppa's Eremo. The Grand Prix Freestyle was again a close battle between the two, where Valentina (84.250) reached the gold with just 0.200% before Werth (84.050). Both of them doing fabulous tests that were watched by an ecstatic audience who enthusiasticly accompanied them and their horses to their victories.
