Dressage Disaster: Cathrine Dufour Eliminated From Grand Prix Special

The pressure is on and so is the countdown to the Olympics in Tokyo! Catherine Dufour and Bohemian are one of the top-ranked pairs in the world. Unfortunately, it was a hard no from Bohemian this weekend in France which led Catherine Dufour and Bohemian to be eliminated from the Grand Prix Special.

The battle was expected to be fierce. After the Ville de Compiègne Grand Prix on Saturday, Sweden and Denmark were only separated by a tiny point, yet far ahead of the other nations. However on Sunday, the last day of competition at the 10th "Internationaux de Dressage of Compiègne", organised at the Grand Parc equestrian stadium, the suspense didn’t last long.

In the Grand Prix Special, Denmark’s Cathrine Dufour was unable to persuade her gelding Bohemian (by Bordeaux x Samarant) to enter the arena. The horse spooked at the score board, reared and then refused to set a foot further. A huge disillusion for the rider, who is ranked 6th in the World with this horse and who considers Bohemian her ticket to Tokyo. The pair's last outdoor competition was the CDIO Aachen in July 2019. The elimination of the rider and consequently her team, prematurely brought an end to the Danish hope for the Nations Cup.
