Heike Kemmer worked her butt off when she taught our clinic and I have heard she works that home at home. Deserved win. Gorgeous horse!

I really like Cadillac as well. I'm happy to see Catherine winning on her own horse.:D

It was amazing to see that so many riders, under which Catherine Haddad and Isabell Werth went off course in their tests.:cool::cool:

I know she said it was going to take a few months of riding the new one to get the old one out of her head. From the video it looks like she took it in stride..no pun intended.:lol::lol:

LOL

LOL

Yes I understand that but not sure why he asked the question? Nothing I said indicated I didn't know.

Interesting to watch. I really liked the flow of her test and I really liked Cadillac as well. I bet she was kicking herself about the course error, obviously was too "in the zone" to realize she had counted her changes wrong!

Good to see a horse that can stand without assistance during the prize giving too!

So which new test is it that has the halt/rein back?

Actually both Catherine and Isabelle took the mistakes in stride:D I think the halt rein/back is in the Grand Prix test??

That was an amazing test! After also watching Catherine on Dressage Clinic Online, I am a new fan! Glad she's on our side.

And Theo most people here can see an error of test without you pointing it out. Gah...

Yes, Mrs Haddad is very sympathetic. I like the horse Cadillac very much. I have interviewed the rider.

May I chime in to clarify that 'sympathetic' in German is 'sympathisch' which is a compliment- however the identical word does not exist in english- I would say she is very likable? suggestions?
Nonetheless sympathetic means something wholly different in the english language...just clarifying...

[J-Lu]

I can't interpret the German for "sympathetic" but Catherine gave a clinic at our barn...she was lots of fun and very entertaining.

ETA: LOVELY test. I wish I had lots of money because I'd love to sponsor her. She works her butt off.

agreed- she deserves a good sponsor....just about now to buy her a horse from Mr. Pidgeley- or PSI!!!

CDI Leipzig: Haddad First American to Win Again in Europe
Kudos for Catherine Haddad, the first American to win a Grand Prix on the European continent since Lisa Wilcox's last win with Relevant in 2003! Aboard her 12 year old Danish gelding Cadillac by Solos Carex Haddad won the Grand Prix Special. Many riders went off track due to the new Grand Prix test.
