SWISS SHOW THE WAY IN AACHEN…..
The Swiss team will be first into the ring when the second leg of the 2006 Samsung Super League FEI series gets underway tomorrow at 13.15 local time in Aachen, Germany.
The ORDER OF GO is as follows:
1. Switzerland;
2. The Netherlands;
3. Great Britain;
4. USA,
5. Germany;
6. France;
7. Ireland;
8. Sweden.
Despite torrential rain yesterday (Wednesday) the new surface in the main arena was in perfect condition again today, and horses and riders can look forward to perfect going once more tomorrow. The world-famous Aachen main ring looks considerably different this year however because the old banks have been removed and a brand new sand arena has been located in the centre. It is here that the Dressage will take place during the World Equestrian Games in three month’s time.
Meanwhile riders have an extra incentive throughout this 2006 Samsung Super League with FEI series because good results will be rewarded with a prize of CHF 50,000 going to the Leading Rider. Every clear round will earn 1 point, while double-clear performances will earn 3 points and, in the case of a tie, the highest number of double-clears will decide the winner. If more than one rider still shares the lead then the highest number of points with the lowest number of starts will be
the deciding factor.
