The prestigious setting of the Longines Global Champions Tour in Riesenbeck saw Prestige take center stage as Main Sponsor of the event, celebrating a weekend of spectacular sport and great emotion.
In the Global Champions League, Henrik von Eckermann riding Steely Dan, together with the Istanbul Warriors and thanks to a double clear round, conquered the top step of the podium, while Christian Kukuk with Chageorge, representing the home team Riesenbeck International, achieved an excellent second place.
In the Longines Global Champions Tour Grand Prix, another podium was secured by our ambassador Peder Fredricson riding Alcapone des Camille, whose thrilling performance led him to second place.
There was also great satisfaction with the new generations: in the German U25 Show Jumping Championship – Preis der Dieter-Hofmann-Stiftung, two young talents stood out: Johanna Beckmann, Prestige ambassador and winner riding Emelie van de Mirania Stam, and Hannes Ahlmann, Renaissance ambassador, second with Madness. For the latter, the weekend was also rewarding thanks to two more podiums, both third places, achieved in the Ludgers Welcome Class (CSI5* 1.45m) and in the Kask Prize (CSI5* 1.50m) riding Cayadino.
Also noteworthy are the excellent performances of the other Prestige and Renaissance-sponsored riders during the weekend, with significant placings in the CSI5* and CSI3* classes, confirming the presence and value of our team in all categories. Among the results to mention in the various competitions:
- Ludgers Welcome Class (CSI5* 1.45m): Jana Wargers sixth with Dorette OLD.
