Reining: Bremen: CRI: Austria's Rudi Kronsteiner Wins at Bremen

Austria's Rudi Kronsteiner and the AQHA Mare GK Hollywood Showtime won the CRI in Bremen today riding pattern No. 9  (see below) to a score of 143 points.

Kronsteiner, one of Europe's most successful reiners, was pleased with the performance of  Paul and Cordula Wiesinger's six year-old mare GK Hollywoodshowtime. Kronsteiner said “It was the first show of the year, so I did not put much pressure on her. She was great, exactly what I had expected of her. We had a penalty in the spin, but that was all.”

The mare is by   Hollywood Dun It  out of Showtimes Tinseltown and is owned by the Wiesinger's Shooting Star QH of Niedereulenbach-Rottenburg, Germany.

The host nation held their nerve and really rose to the occasion today to win the Team title in the Vaulting Championships at the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games™ in Kentucky, USA.  On Friday their Freestyle routine fell apart when their horse, Palatine, became anxious in the arena and they had to settle for third place as a result.  But today it all came together beautifully, and to the theme of Romeo and Juliet, with Rosalind Ross and Devon Maitozo playing the lead roles, they rocketed back up the leaderboard to steal gold.
