Matthias Alexander Rath, ranked 28th, is riding Destacado FRH, the stallion that was reserve in the World Championships as a five-year-old and is now aged 12.
Evelyn Eger is the third German on Tabledance, the 12-year-old mare she partnered at Wellington’s winter-long Global Dressage Festival to stand as second highest in prize money earnings.
Ecuador’s Julio Mendoza Loor, based in North Carolina, is riding his Paris Olympic mount, Jewel’s Goldstrike.
The Grand Prix with €100,000 in prize money is scheduled for Saturday and the €200,000 Freestyle for Sunday.
