Fosbury 2 is 14 year old Westphalian gelding by Foxtrot and is owned by Anna's trainer Johann Hinneman. This was Fosbury's first ever international Grand Prix Special outing. Speaking from a cold but sunny Stadl Paura
Anna said the horse had gone really well and that she was particuarly pleased that two of the five judges had given mark of over 70% for the test. This combination had shown good form earlier in the show when placing 4th in the Grand Prix class.

Anna placed 14th individually at the European Dressage Championships in Verden, Germany last August with her other Grand Prix horse Darius 213. She had to withdraw Darius from running at Stadl Paura as he is being treated for a virus.

Anna will compete next weekend at the CDI*** in Oldenburg, Germany.
