“It’s fantastic that the GERMAN MASTERS is taking place again and it’s a real pleasure to ride here,” said “Michi” Jung after his brilliant performance. “Thanks to my supporters, I’ve got fabulous horses at my disposal. Kilcandra Ocean Power gave me a wonderful feel today and was a great ride.”
Watched on by 5,600 thrilled spectators, the Swede Sofia Sjöborg came third on her 13-year-old KWPN gelding Eastbourne (53.64). Earlier in the afternoon, a 4,000 crowd was in the arena for the dressage class for the Prize of iWEST, the style jumping class for junior riders from the federal state of Baden Württemberg where the NÜRNBERGER Burg Pokal was at stake and the preliminary class for the BW-Bank Indoor Championship on Thursday for the Prize of the Schmidt Sporthandschuhe GmbH.
Before the start of the Indoor Derby, the CEO of in.Stuttgart, Andreas Kroll, honoured Hildegard and Wolfgang Walter for the support they have given to the horse show over the last decade as a main sponsor. Their Ellwangen-based WALTER solar company had previously been a long-time exhibitor in the Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Halle. “We’d like to say a big thank-you to you both and we are looking forward to enjoying many other horse shows with you,” said Kroll when bringing the ceremony to an end.
