Aachen Jumping Youngstars with our Former Horses: One Victory and Five Grand Prix Placings

Posted at

Last weekend at the Aachen Jumping Youngstars, hosted on the prestigious showgrounds of the Soers, exceptional moments were celebrated. Amidst a breathtaking backdrop, festive Christmas atmosphere and the highest level of sport, six of our former horses showcased their quality together with their talented young riders. All six successfully placed in the Grand Prix classes! A special highlight was the victory of Hästkullenz Fantazie, our 2022 auction horse, and her rider Minie Vos, who won the Children’s Grand Prix, ahead of our student Johanna Hell with her mare Copacabana M.

  • Our student Johanna Hell, riding her top mare Copacabana M, delivered outstanding performances in the Children’s Tour – despite competing with a fractured arm and a bulky splint. She achieved 3rd and 8th place in the 1.25m classes, which also served as qualifiers for the Grand Prix. In the Grand Prix, the pair was one of only two combinations to produce a clear round, delivered another faultless round in the jump-off, and secured second place.

  • Hästkullenz Fantazie (Auction Horse 2022) once again confirmed her exceptional qualities as a junior horse. Together with Minie Vos, she placed eighth in one of the qualifiers and then delivered two sensational rounds to win the Children’s Grand Prix.

  • Lasino Grande and Julian Schuchmann impressed with a brilliant clear round in the opening class and went on to place in the 1.45m Junior Grand Prix.

  • Botakara and June Karlinder competed successfully in the Junior Tour, placing in two 1.40m  classes, and also earned a placing in the Junior Grand Prix at 1.45m height.

  • Tendresse de la Vie Z and Ava Ferch secured the team victory for Bavaria in the 1.40m team competition with two confident clear rounds. The pair also placed in the Junior Grand Prix

  • Cici and Lasse Nölting claimed 5th place in the S class for Young Riders on Saturday evening, and also achieved a placing in the Young Riders Grand Prix, a highly demanding 1.50m class.

These outstanding results not only reflect the quality of our horses, but also the dedication, talent and teamwork of the young riders, their families and their support teams. Congratulations to all involved!
