Second place during his first appearance at the Altenfelden CAI for Christoph Dieker, GER, followed by Henrik Höper from Denmark.

Elegant and perfect presentation – that was the initial impression of his team when entering the dressage arena followed by a performance of the dressage test FEI No 8B almost from a schoolbook. The movement-strong horses on the reins of the American dressage specialist showed wonderful sections and this was awarded with a score of 41,22 beating by 12 points the Team-World Champion, Koss de Ronde from the Netherlands. Third place for the Kladruber stallions from the Czech Republic and Jiri Nesvacil.Chester Weber: „I drove here in Altenfelden for the first time 2 new horses together in the leader positions and am very happy with their performance. They performed on these positions well and will have even further potential of improvements – I am very happy about the dressage win in Altenfelden.“Top driving sport at Altenfelden’s dressage arena, who is still – after the second dressage day and thousands of horse hoof steps and carriage wheels – presenting itself in great conditions.

Now: let’s start the Marathon…

Weather in Altenfelden

Koos de Ronde – Team World Champion and successful World Cup Driver - NED

A realy nice Marathon. I have been in Altenfelden last 3 years ago for the last time – since then lots of positive changes and improvements were made. The obstancles are more modern, interestingly flgged and with different requirements. It is changing between fast and technically very challenging. I am looking forward to the Marathon … it will be an exciting decision.

Tomas Eriksson – World Champion and winner in countless Marathons

A very demanding course – well built obstacles – but (my point of view) sadly with too many loose knock-down elements. This is a pitty, because it is sometimes pure luck, if a ball is falling or not. Almost 50 balls in the marathon, that is a trend to be revisited. The Sunday should remain the day of the balls.Anyway: super marathon ground – The CAI Altenfelden has a challenging marathon test – super is the new obsticaly number 8 which promists lots of action.

Dog of the Day

CAI Altenfelden – that‘s demanding!
