Samantha Lissington and her CCI5*-L debutant Lord Seekonig sit in ninth on 34.7 after the first day of the 5* dressage at the Luhmuhlen Horse Trials in Germany. Muzi Pottinger aboard Good Timing sits in 17th on 37.5 with Tim Price on Viscount Viktor scoring 38.4. Twenty-one of the 42 entries have completed their dressage. Laura Collett (GBR) and Hester lead the field on 30.6, with Tom McEwen (GBR) and CHF Cooliser in second on 30.8.

World no.9 Tim Price and Coupe de Coeur Dudevin have had a solid start in the CCI4*-S to sit in third spot on 28.1 penalty points with 34 of the 67 combinations having completed their tests. “I am happy enough with our test,” said Tim. “He is not the best dressage horse but he is a very strong cross country horse so I am happy with our result today and looking forward to Saturday.”

Clarke Johnstone was pleased with Domasco’s 34.9 penalty point effort. “He stepped out onto the big stage today,” says Clarke. “I am proud of how well Baby J (Domasco) coped with the atmosphere and produced some lovely work.”

Still to come are James Avery with MBF Connection, Jonelle Price aboard Hiarado, Tim Price on Falco and Clarke with Merlo Park. The class is being led by Anna Lena Schnaaf (GER) aboard Fairytale 39 on 26.
