Indonesian Dressage Team participated at the Asian Games Incheon 2014. The games was held in Incheon, South Korea.
Indonesia represented by Larasati Gading (Wallenstein), Alvaro Menayang (Diamond Boy) and our rider Ferry Wahyu Hadiyanto (Douceur). They were unlucky as they lost the bronze medal just by 0.07%.
The gold medal went to the host nation. It was the fifth consecutive win for South Korea, which Japan took silver ahead of Chinese Taipei in bronze medal spot. Indonesia finished a very close fourth while China, India and Thailand filled the remaining places on the leaderboard in that order.
Youngshik Hwang steered Fursteuberg to the highest score of the competition when posting 74.342 per cent. And when that was backed up by a healthy 71.237 from Dongsson Kim riding Finally, 69.658 from Yooyson Chung with Royal Red and 68.816 from Kyunsub Kim with Dark Secret then the Republic of Korea posted an average final score of 71.746 to claim the gold when the top three scores were taken into account.
Shingo Hayashi produced the highest Japanese score of 71.395 with Veranus while team-mates Kazuki Sado (Winnetou DDH), Tomoko Nakamura (Pacific B) and Mayumi Okunishi (Freestyle) posted 69.184, 68.947 and 68.895 respectively for an average team total of 69.842.
Chinese Taipei’s final tally of 67.386 was achieved by Ko Wen Wang (Daquino), Yu Chieh Chang (Nora), Li Yu Kuo (Temptation) and Hsiu Hua Yeh (Urban Legend) for the bronze, but the Indonesian score of 67.316 for fourth place was all the more creditable for the fact that there were only three competitors in this side, and therefore no drop score.
