World Cup that Wasn’t in Las Vegas, Isabell & Weihegold’s Bid for Historic 4 in Row Delayed, Disappointed Champion Steffen Peters, Farewell to Verdades at Home

This was to be the 35th final of dressage World Cup, an event that this year in Las Vegas would have been memorable for the possibility of an historic fourth in a row title for Isabell Werth and Weihegold OLD, the return of a reinvigorated Steffen Peters to the arena where he became only the second American ever to win the championship and the retirement of Verdades that was sure to produce buckets of tears.

The 18 rider and horse combinations from around the globe would have been in Las Vegas by now for the Final at the expanded and renovated complex around the Thomas & Mack Center that hosted the dressage World Cup on four previous occasions.

The lineup had not been announced as the last of the qualifiers in North America was not held and the last in Western Europe was called off midway through the event.
