Canadian Riders Show Promise at Stadl Paura CDI3*
From April 13-16 2006, some of Europe’s top dressage riders gathered together in Stadl Paura, Austria to compete in the Stadl Paura CDI3*. Amongst the competitors were Canada’s Christian Garweg and Daisy Palmer-Kraul.
The two Canadians, who currently reside and train in Germany, both competed in the Prix St-Georges and Intermediaire I divisions, riding against up to 36 riders per class.
In the Prix St-Georges, both riders had very clean and well executed tests. With Jane Haslett’s Gun Woman, Garweg achieved a score of 65.67% for a sixteenth place finish. Gun Woman (Graf Remus/Gimpel) is an 11-year-old dark bay Oldenburg mare. Palmer-Kraul and Dunensand received a score of 63.25%, placing the duo twenty-eighth. Dunensand (Diamo/ Malvarwiese) is a nine-year-old Hanoverian gelding owned by Fiona Dimitrieff. Taking top honours in the Prix St. Georges was the host country’s Victoria Max Theuer with a score of 70.08% aboard Salieri.
Intermediaire I saw Garweg, who is currently on Canada’s Canadian Equestrian Team Dressage Long List, finish in twenty-second place on a score of 63.75% with another well ridden test. Not far behind, Palmer-Kraul finished in twenty-fifth place, with a score of 62.58%. This division yet again saw Victoria Max Theuer walk away victorious, this time scoring 73.08% with Romantik.
“As I whole, I am very pleased with the weekend. I train with both Holga Finken and Siegfried Peilicke - Siegfried was very impressed with Dunensand and feels that he is an up and coming horse for Canada,” commented Palmer-Kraul, who is currently ranked on the Canadian Equestrian Team Dressage Short List “B”. “I was able to watch Christian ride. He did nicely with Gun Woman,” continued the 29-year-old.
