Thank you, Mannheim Maimarkt!
The Maimarkt-Turnier Mannheim has been a cornerstone of the international showjumping calendar for decades, combining top-level sport, tradition, and a truly unique atmosphere at the highest level. Year after year, Olympic champions, Nations Cup riders, and international top athletes come together in Mannheim. Challenging courses, world-class starting fields, and the special atmosphere of the MVV Riding Stadium make Mannheim one of the most important outdoor events of the season and a truly exceptional show.
We are therefore especially proud that our four riders Laura, Laurens, and our South African students Ronnie and Tamara were able to showcase themselves so impressively in this first-class environment. Against strong international competition and under highly demanding conditions, our horses and riders stood out with remarkable consistency, picture-perfect rounds, outstanding quality, and numerous exceptional performances. This consistency and development once again confirm the daily work of our entire team and show that we are on the right path.
