WOTAX-Prize for Charlott-Maria Schürmann’s black pearl
Charlott-Maria Schürmann claimed the victory in the Intermédiaire I, the WOTAX-Prize, with a round that was almost as beautiful as her mare, Dante’s Pearl.
Charlott-Maria Schürmann and her nine-year-old Oldenburg-bred black mare, Dante’s Pearl, won the Intermédiaire I, the Wotax-Prize with a high-quality and harmonious performance. The five judges unanimously saw the pair in first place. Her score: 75,383. Frederic Wandres came second with Quizmaster on a score of 73,647 percent, followed by Juliane Brunkhorst with Diamante Negro (72.50). Hence, a German triple.
This marks a very special victory for Charlott-Maria Schürmann. In 2016 and 2017, she was placed here in the CDI4* Tour with her former top horse, Burlington. And now she has returned victorious: “It is, of course, a huge honour for every rider to compete here in Aachen. I already achieved some good results with Dante’s Pearl this year. But the fact that I was invited to ride in Aachen, honestly bowled me over. And of course I wasn’t expecting her to perform so well here. I am overjoyed that she let herself be celebrated so magnificently by the huge crowd in this stadium and simply gave everything. She really enjoyed it, me too. It is a dream here!” A dream with a dream horse, as Schürmann confirmed: “Pearlie has been with me for two years and I think she enchants everyone, who sees her, because she is simply so beautiful. This horse is simply unique, I think, and is simply something special for us all.”
