FEI European Championships Dressage  The Team competition was more close than ever. Only a bit more than 1 % seperated the Gold team from the Bronze team. The excitement went om until the last rider had been on the arena, so no wonder that the four German riders were fantastic happy to the winn the golden medals.   The danish team came in on the unfortunate 4th place, which in fact was very satisfying as the quality of the perfomances was very high.   The individual competion in the European Championship Dressage Freestyle was won by Great Britains Charlotte Dujardin on Valegro. The silver medal went to Helen Langenhanenberg on Damon Hill and the bronze medal to reigning European champion: Adelinde Conelissen from The Netherlands.   In the U25 Grand Prix the two Danish riders, Nanna Skodborg Merrald on Mililbar and Daniel Bachmann placed 1th and 2nd.
