Prize of federal promotion of children dressage sports: Victory for Lynn Sophie Soddemann and her sport partner Fuerstin Schufro GV

It was still early on Saturday morning when Lynn Sophie Soddemann entered the arena of the festively decorated Albert-Vahle-Halle at Allianz Park as the second competitor, feeling confident: “I am very grateful to be able to ride here,” the 14-year-old recalled about the moment before entering. With a harmonious and technically accomplished performance, which the judges rewarded with 78.125 percent, the pair set a benchmark in the Aachen sand that none of the following competitors could surpass. “Everything went really well, and winning here is something truly special,” the young rider said after the festive awards ceremony, expressing her delight with her own achievement and the performance of her six-year-old sport partner.

Second place went to Isabella Lehnert, who scored 75.900 percent with Queen for Dance. Paula Kempkens and Donnizelli (75.225 percent) were thrilled to take third place.
