Knabstrupper Success at the Paralympics 2004
In Athens on 22nd September 2004, Ann Cathrin Lubbe (NOR) captured the gold medal in the Individual Dressage Championship, competing in Grade IV.
The Norwegian rider went one better and improved on her performance in Sydney, where she had won silver in the Individual Championship and the bronze in the Team event.
Ann Cathrin Lubbe & Zanko KNN 134
Lubbe riding Zanko, a Knabstrupper stallion by Xanthos (KNN 112) out of Olympia (KNN 1796) was the only participant who passed the 70% mark and by amassing 70.839% went to gold medal position and stayed there until the conclusion of the event.
Two days later on the 24th September the same combination set the crowd alight and with another first class performance earned the gold in the Individual Freestyle test in Grade IV.
On this occasion they were the last to compete and when they came out of the arena, everyone already knew who was the winner of the afternoon session. LUBBE scored 79.318%, the highest marks the judges accorded on Friday.
