Anky training in Florida

Anky van Grunsven is in Wellington, Florida competing IPS Painted Black in the World Dressage Master show. With a score of 66.936% in the Grand Prix they had to settle for for 9th place. American favourite Steffen Peters won the test aboard Ravel with a top score of 75.574%

After Anky's test Sjef Jannsen commented "I.P.S Painted Black was a bit scared for the stormy weather that has come to Wellington. That was the cause of some mistakes. Because Anky and Painted were over focussed, a mistake in the program was made. That costs a lot of points of course.'

The other Dutch competitors did well: Hans Peter Minderhoud was the best aboard Exquis Escapado. He scored 71,149% and came third. Edward Gal came fourth with Interfloor Next One (70,170%). Tosca Visser came 13th (63,872%)
