16 countries

This time 16 countries participated in the horse race. Starters from Syria, the USA and the United Arab Emirates made the longest trips. But the Swiss now appreciate the horse show. The Swiss had plenty.

Europe-Tour

The Americans traveled from California via Calgary and the Netherlands. After the horse festival we go to France and Italy. The show’s jumpers’ European tour from the USA will last four months – the station in Immenhofen was particularly appealing to them.

Wrong world? Usually a “right break off” is declared on the lap of the winning riders, but when the winner comes from Ireland – there is left hand traffic – everything is different. The colleagues of the winning Irish rider looked very good when she suddenly started the round from the left.

Blue carpet

The carpet that is usually laid out for celebrities is red – these celebrities are the sponsors of the equestrian event. But according to RZ Frese’s club colors, this carpet was blue.

Great idea Show jumper Andreas Bruns from Pfalzgrafenweiler had a great idea. He started a team competition in which a young rider must first master the A ** course. Soon after, a professional rider joined the M course. The competition was a lot of fun for everyone who participated. Coincidentally, the winning couple each received a voucher for a new saddle.

Choufer wanted to be the surprise winner of a car that could be used for free for a year: Lily Buchholz from PSZ Königsfeld. Initially, they were not allowed to start because they were not included in the Schwarzwald-Bar Rider ring. But then with a small announcement a starting point became available – after an A ** and two L jumping tests, Amazon was delighted with the car. But Buchals still has to look for a driver because she’s only 16 years old.

In terms of tropical weather, the 22nd round of the Horse Festival this year had really (almost) everything: tropical temperatures with plenty of sunshine, and some strong winds and light rain on Saturday morning.

(Rome). As night falls in Immenhof, floodlights in the jumping area show up. First, it happens to illuminate the square, because the obstacles need to be restored. This is followed by the floodlight jump. These attract many visitors every year. It all started on Friday at the equestrian event with Helmut Schonster (Pferdefreunde Englhör) and Jérome Hennau (Belgium) climbing the barrier at a height of 1.95m and 1.95m. On Saturday, the victory round – the world ranking points were in jeopardy – took place under floodlights in the evening. Initially there were 15 pairs of riders here. Tobias Schwarz from RFV Kensington won the match in his “La Belle”. The match was also held in the presence of a large crowd. Champion Tobias Schwarz can expect a new ഡkoda as a gift at the awards ceremony.
