1 PRESS RELEASE Internationales Festhallen Reitturnier Frankfurt December 2016 Belgium and Sweden are streets ahead in Frankfurt (Frankfurt) Three of the four world-ranking jumping contests at the International Frankfurt Festhalle Riding Tournament have been decided and just one was won by a German show jumper. Jörg Oppermann (Gückingen) secured victory with Che Guevarra in the FRAPORT Prize - Frankfurt Championship, while the Helaba Champions Cup and the BHF Bank Prize went to Belgium and Sweden. First Gudrun Pateet (Belgium) celebrated a win in the Helaba Champions Cup, then it was Swede Henrik von Eckermann s turn to be overjoyed, thanks to his win in the BHF Bank Prize. Since a few weeks ago, Eckermann has been working freelance at Stall Schneider near Bonn and sped ahead of his competitors with Ugaulin Du Bosquetiau in the jump-off of the BHF Bank Prize, leaving Jan Wernke (Holdorf) and his horse Queen Mary in second place, and eventing Olympic champion Michael Jung (Horn) with Sportsmann-S in third. A few hours earlier it was a pair of Belgian aces who pulled off a stunning performance. I m really pleased with what he s achieved, said Pateet proudly of tenyear-old gelding Atlantic, with whom she also plans to enter the Deutsche Vermögensberatung AG Grand Prix: Frankfurt has good courses, good tests, it s ideal when you re planning to ride in the Mechelen World Cup two weeks later. The climax of this top international tournament will be on Sunday, with, amongst other things, the final of the Louisdor Prize for eight to ten-year-old dressage horses, the Youngster Final in the LOTTO Hessen Prize, and the Hessen Grand Prix - the Deutsche Vermögensberatung AG Prize.

2 Norwegian-Dutch combination wins Nürnberger Burg-Pokal in Frankfurt Vitalis, enthuses his rider, is a fantastic, lively horse who always wants to run, is always in a good mood, and is a great deal of fun. Vitalis is a stallion of Dutch breeding, while his rider is from Norway and is called Isabel Freese. The 37 year-old dressage rider, who for many years has lived and worked in Lower Saxony, was really delighted with her victory in the 25th final of the Nürnberger Burg-Pokal. With a score of percent, the graceful trainer and her nine-year-old dark chestnut horse secured top spot in this eleven-horse-strong contest. Behind the Norwegian-Dutch duo came Master Horsewoman Ingrid Klimke (Münster), who took both second and third places with two different horses. I m super proud and happy that both my horses did so well, said Klimke, who also won the style award in the final. With eight year old Franziskus Klimke achieved a score of Prozent, and she secured percent with Geraldine. 19-year-old Jil-Marielle Becks took fourth place with Damon`s Satelite, who comes from her family-owned breeding stock, and she also won the prize for best rein-back. The 25th final of the Nürnberger Burg-Pokal drew crowds of dressage fans into the packed-out Festhalle. You really get the feeling that everyone in the hall is riding with you, laughed Klimke and Freese who, along with their nine competitors, enjoyed waves of rapturous applause. The chairman of the Nürnberger Versicherungsgruppe, Dr. Armin Zitzmann, used the 25th final as an opportunity to set out plans for the next three years of the project. The most important German dressage series for young horses is therefore set to continue.

3 Dablino does it again Before the final of the Nürnberger Burg-Pokal, Hanoverian Dablino FRH piaffed his way to victory in the Grand Prix Special - the Liselott-Schindling-Stiftung Prize - with Anabel Balkenhol. Following their success in the Grand Prix, Balkenhol and her chestnut gelding secured this second victory, and this time, as before, they won ahead of Fabienne Lütkemeier (Paderborn) with nine-year-old Fabregaz. In the Grand Prix Special, Lufthansa CARGO AG also presented a special award for the groom of the winning horse, which went to a delighted Christina Müller. She is responsible for the day-to-day wellbeing of Dablino FRH and is now the owner of a brand new luggage set and gilet - always a welcome present for grooms. The CDI4* Frankfurt concludes on Sunday with the CEECOACH Grand Prix Freestyle powered by peiker. Results-Overview 3 Int.
