Frederic Wandres (GER) earned a career high score on Friday in the FEI Grand Prix at the Adequan® Global Dressage Festival and returned this weekend to also score victory in the CDI3* Grand Prix Special, presented by Barnwalkers. Wandres rode Hot Hit OLD, a 12-year-old by Blue Hors Hotline x Diamond Hit to a score just shy of eclipsing his personal best yet again with a 74.34% in the Grand Prix Special.

The back-to-back wins came from Wandres during Lloyd Landkamer Memorial week as AGDF kicks off 12 weeks of dressage competition, including seven weeks of CDI action, that runs through March 31.

Codi Harrison (USA) rode Katholt’s Bossco to a 70.234% for second, and Armenia’s Carrie Schopf posted a 67.894% aboard Saumur to round out the podium finishes. One of three Canadians in the Special, Ariana Chia placed 6th with Fiderflame (65.319%).
