“I have said many times that I love this horse as much as my wife, who accepts it," Germany's Andre Thieme said about his incredible DSP Chakaria after the two took the prestigious Rolex Grand Prix-title in Rome last Sunday. "She’s my horse of a lifetime, I know I will never get one like her again, and I’m trying to enjoy every horse show that I have with her. She is such a winner and such a clear-round machine. She has given me and my family and my groom so many special moments all around the world that I know I’m blessed with this horse!"
With this photo special, we look back on the action-packed second round of Sunday's CSIO5* 1.60m Rolex Grand Prix of Rome at Piazza di Siena.
