Prize of Handwerk “absolutely amazing” for Mettmann District Association
The Mettmann District Association celebrate a victory at the first attempt in the Prize of Handwerk, the Quadrille Championships at the CHIO Aachen. How does that feel? “Absolutely amazing!”
One could say the house rocked when Iris Charles with La Lutzi, Chantal van de Griend with Lord Niro, Patricia Knell with Fürst Finaldo and Stephanie Knell with Don Giovann under the aegis of Marco Schmid celebrated a quadrille at medium level in stylish green glitter top and tails, which the international jury of five-star judges awarded a score of 18.7 points (A-score 8.9, B-score 9.8) which is otherwise only reserved for Isabell Werth and the likes. Iris Charles summed it up concisely: “That was absolutely fantastic!”
The riders from the Düren District Association directed by Sabine Fuchs followed in a close second place on a score of 18.6: Anne Schagen/Sambalero, Rebecca Ida Winkler/Rockadinho, Svenja Wolf with Dior and Deborah Zester/Remington D.
Third place went to the quartet from Krefeld Angela Bißels/Faunus, Christina Dahl/Las Vegas, Nicole Louven/Laurino and Iris Rommerskirchen/Danoni, who were presented by Tanja Liepack (18 points).
