The Danes were unbeatable in Amsterdam, however they took turn of the winning spot. Sophia Ludvigsen and Blue Hors Quintana won the U25 Grand Prix on Friday but in the freestyle on Saturday morning, Thea Bech and her Dionisos claimed the top podium.
-" Dionisos is such a show man! When he hears his music, he always goes all in and it´s just such a pleasure to ride him. We´ve been partners for nine years now and he has given me everything," says Thea after the ride.
It was such an even class, with first and second place being incredibly close. Winner Thea Bech scored 78,1% and Sophia Ludvigsen 78,060%. Third place went to Netherlands Daphne van Peperstraten and Greenpoint´s Cupido.
The Lövsta Future Challenge International Dressage Tour consists of three independent competitions held during the World Cup Herning, Jumping Amsterdam, and Gothenburg Horse Show. The tour provides an opportunity for some of Europe's best U25 dressage riders to compete at the same venues as some of the World Cup's stages.
The next stop for the Lövsta Future Challenge International Tour will be at the Gothenburg Horse Show, taking place from February 19-23.
