The District Association of Bergisch Land wins the Prize of Handwerk
The Prize of Handwerk paid homage to this year’s partner country of the CHIO Aachen: British flair, British stars, British customs dominated the scene this evening in the Deutsche Bank Stadium.
The outfits were creative, the choreographies were elaborate: The traditional Quadrille Championships brought an eventful day in the Deutsche Bank Stadium to a perfect close. The team of the District Association of Bergisch Land, comprising of Heike Holtkamp with Sambuko, Gaby Werheid with Favini, Nicola Heynen with Pharmaka’s Livius and Jule Sommer with Mc Guyver, convinced the judges with their inventiveness and extremely precise technical execution. Under the direction of their team leader Norma Frerck, the quartet was awarded a 9.0 for the technical execution and the top mark of 10.0 for the choreography. That secured them the victory (95.00 percent)!
They were followed closely (93.5 percent) by the District Association of Mettmann under the direction of Elke Buddenberg with Lotta Ditthardt on Passion of Night, Lisa Malin Schöning with Rolls Royce, Emely Schermuck with Fidlerniro and Christina Konings with Frederik. Third place went to the delighted District Association of Aachen. The quartet of the team leader Dagmar Rueben, that comprised Claudia Weskamp-Effertz within Sir Sasse, Andreas Kleebank with Disney’s Star JR, Doris Förl-Wachtsmuth with Davino DKF and Irina Motovilova with Delano DKS finished on a score of 82.50 percent.
