„The girls were simply fantastic,“ the German national pony coach, Conny Endres, was obviously pleased about the victory of the German dressage team at the Nations Cup of pony riders. Germany was the country with the youngest ponies. Carlos WE, Daddy’s Daydream and Paso Double were six, seven and eight years old, Endres explained. “This is of course a risk at a Nations Cup contest, but the experienced young dressage riders have perfectly accomplished this challenge.”

74.44% was the final result for the 14-year-old Semmieke Rothenberger from Bad Homburg, the highest result of the test that considerably contributed to the German victory. A fantastic success for Rothenberger and her team colleagues Celine König (Duisburg) and Paulina Holzknecht (Solingen). The places two and three went to Denmark and the Netherlands.

Another „Rothenberger“ won the golden ribbon in the Almased dressage stadium in the qualifier for the Young Riders Final. Semmieke’s brother Sönke rode the Dutch-bred Van Gogh-son Cosmo, relegating his competitors, the German Florine Kienbaum (Lohmar) and Vivien Niemann (Mannheim), to second and third place with 74.21%. Jessica Krieg (Heinsberg) and Ellen Richter (Bad Essen) finished third on equal points in the qualifier of junior riders behind the winner Victoria E. Vallentin from Denmark and Rosalie Bos from the Netherlands.

Flying Dutchman won the second Nations Cup contest

The Young Riders Nations Cup in the show jumping stadium was again firmly in Dutch hands. To the great pleasure of chef d’equipe Roelof Bril, Jesper Romp, Jelmer Hoekstra, Glenn Knoester and Bart Haselbekke prevailed in the thrilling jump-off against the German team of Markus Merschformann. Three times second place in the Nations Cup and one fourth place is the final result of the German team with the futurity show jumping riders at the Hof Kasselmann.
