[shortstuff99]

Will this be the end of the Werth (and possibly German) dressage dominance?

With Jessica on the German team i doubt they'll be drifting into the long grass of dressage any time soon

Not to mention Ingrid's horse should come back from injury!

Jessica is sliding into the spotlight, so I don't think the German dominance is over

Delera is about 15 I think though, so may or may not be at the next Olympics. The only recent Olympics without Werth was 2012 and we know who won that.....

That's true.

Time for the Iberians to dominate ??

i doubt that we can write off the germans just yet....i would think isabel will be training the next generation to win..

I doubt Jessica is a one-trick pony-rider, after her incredible success she should have no probs attracting owners.

I am a member of this Aubenhausen Club/Academy thing and there are videos, instructions, reflections, and sometimes Q&A type things by Jessica and Ben. It's been quite useful, but I've also been able to see her ride a few other horses. She's far from a one trick pony-rider.

A fellow livery and I are going to Aubenhausen next year. So that'll be interesting as well. I love some aspects of her stable.

I'm sure there are also other up and coming riders, I just don't pay so much attention.
