She travels to Herning as the two-time defending champion. Both in the Grand Prix Special and with the team, Isabell Werth, 53, has to defend her triumphs at the World Equestrian Games, which begin on Saturday in the western Danish trade fair city. However, this will be a difficult undertaking even for the most successful rider in the history of sport. Because the dressage queen competes with a new horse. The twelve-year-old stallion Quantaz has never competed in any international championships.
The change became necessary after the seven-time Olympic champion and nine-time world champion had retired her successful mares of the past decade. In April she said goodbye to Weihegold, four weeks ago Bella Rose, her dream horse par excellence, "because Bella combined everything that my other great horses like Gigolo, Satchmo and Weihegold brought with them to a large extent".
WELT AM SONNTAG: Ms. Werth, have your tears dried in the meantime?
Isabell Werth: Of course, saying goodbye to Weihegold and Bella Rose was incredibly emotional, very moving. They went deep under the skin, which is not surprising, after all, they are my life companions with whom I went through thick and thin for so long.
