HEIKE Holstein’s fourth Olympic Games appearance was marked by a beautifully-ridden Grand Prix test with her home-bred mare Sambuca (Samarant x Limmerick), which received a score of 68.43% from the seven international judges.

Commentator and international dressage trainer Lucinda Green commended Heike’s achievement of getting a home-bred to the Olympic Games and said their one-time changes were “pretty spectacular”.
