The trainer of host Evelyn Haim-Swarovski scored 72.206 percent with the 8-year-old Oldenburg gelding.

Second place went to the Austrian duo Stephanie Dearing and Auheims’s Del Magico with 70.824 percent. “That was a nice round, with which we can be very satisfied after the long break. Especially in the trot tour we were swinging very nicely. A step mistake even cost us the possible victory,” analyzed the partner of Olympic rider and national champion Christian Schumach.

The 14-year-old gelding Del Magico was runner-up in the Young Horse World Championships in 2014 under the saddle of the Carinthian rider. Dearing: “Del Magico competed internationally in the Young Riders for two years with Chiara Pengg, the owner’s daughter. Fortunately, he survived a colic two and a half years ago without any problems. Now it’s a matter of slowly building him back up to the Grand Tour, and in September we want to compete at the National Championships. For such a restart there is no better tournament than the one at Schindlhof. There is no place that treats horses and riders more lovingly than here.”
