Scholtens is going to set up on her own and hopes that the partnership will be continued: "Maybe I can ride him also in the future. I never believed that I would win here. Last year we were 36th." The judges certified Westpoint the best walk in the class, and gave him a 9.0. His canter received a 9.5. Second and third place went to Germany. To the Hanoverian stallion Florinero by Fürst Heinrich - A Jungle Prince (8.72), presented by Dorothee Schneider (Wiesbaden) and to the Vice World Champion of 2008, the Trakehner stallion Imperio by Connery - Balfour xx (8.42) with Anna-Sopie Fiebelkorn (Verden).
