Twenty five-year-old GB dressage star Laura Bechtolsheimer took the 2010 Dressage Deluxe National Dressage Championship in fine style on the last day of the Championships, 12 September 2010.
Performing an upbeat grand prix freestyle to a reggae soundtrack, Laura and her World Equestrian Games (WEG) reserve, Andretti H, scored a new personal best. Breaking the 78.25% they scored at Hickstead Exquis World Dressage Masters CDI5* earlier this year with an incredible 78.55%.
With samples of superbly executed piaffe and passage throughout, the routine captivated an entire grandstand audience at the Warwickshire showground. After their performance Laura showed the exquisite bond she has with Andretti as she punched the air and threw herself down to his shoulder for a celebratory hug.
Aboard Dr and Mrs Bechtolsheimer’s 15 year old bay Laura thanked her mother for supporting her throughout this championship; “Dad wasn’t able to attend and so it was left to my mum to play trainer and help me prepare today. We had to do our job well so that we didn’t let her down.” she told spectators.
“To win feels absolutely amazing, my mind is already in Kentucky and this horse deserves a completely concentrated rider,” an elated Laura confessed, “however, he doesn’t really make mistakes regardless of what I do on top!”
When questioned about her preparation for the FEI World Equestrian Games in Kentucky USA September 25 - October 10 2010 Laura replied, “Alf’s (Mistral Hojris) training is going really well. I’ve met up with the whole team here and everyone is on top form. The horses travel on Saturday (18th September) and we follow the day after, we can’t wait to get there now!”
Laura currently holds both third and 20th place in the FEI World Dressage Rankings with her WEG ride Mistral Hojris and national champion Andretti H respectively.
She will appear at the Albion National Convention with trainers Klaus Balkenhol and father Dr Bechtolsheimer. “I’m really looking forward to sharing what we do with everyone and explaining our training philosophy. I want people to see how we get the horses to perform using both kind and horse friendly techniques.”
The Albion national convention will be held at Hartpury College, Gloucestershire 27-28 November 2010.
