Blood horror at Isabell Werth’s horse Quantanz: that’s what’s behind it

The cause was harmless, but just as bitter as it was momentous: Quantaz bit his tongue, explained 52-year-old Werth. “Shit happens. If you haven’t experienced everything, you haven’t been there long enough. Now I’ve had this experience,” said the dressage icon from Rheinberg. “It was the first time and hopefully the last time.”

Due to the disqualification, the German team missed the chance to win the national ranking. Denmark secured this with Cathrine Dufour at the top. The 30-year-old won with Vamos Amigos ahead of Frederic Wandres from Hagen am Teutoburger Wald on Duke of Britain.

Werth had already celebrated her big, because emotional moment on Friday. Her legend horse Bella Rose was said goodbye with a 45-minute gala. After a last show freestyle, tears flowed. The audience at the Aachen Soers was extremely emotional. (tno)
