Dutch star, Edward Gal, made it a back-to-back double when coming out on top at the opening leg of the Reem Acra FEI World Cup⢠Dressage 2015/2016 Western European League at Odense in Denmark today. Last season he rode to victory at this event with the gelding Glockâs Undercover, but this time around he triumphed with the stallion Glockâs Voice, pinning the host countryâs Anna Kasprzak and Donnperignon into runner-up spot and Agnete Kirk Thinggaard and Jojo AZ into third.
It wasnât the easiest of victories however, as Glockâs Voice showed some tense moments during his winning test. âHe felt better today, but he was still a bit nervousâ, said the 45-year-old rider who includes the 2010 FEI World Cup⢠Dressage title amongst his many achievements. âHe felt good at the start, but he got edgy as we went along. However it was better than the Grand Prix. It was his first indoor show, so all things considered it was a good resultâ, the Dutchman said this evening.
