A successful weekend for Hanoverians at the German Paradressage Championships (Grades I–III) in Balve: Gianna Regenbrecht secured the silver medal with the 11-year-old Hanoverian premium mare First Florentine XT by Fürstenball/De Niro (breeder: Dr. Stefan Tietje, Alfhausen). This performance seamlessly followed up on a strong showing at the Nations Cup in Mannheim. ‘It’s a perfect match; we harmonise so well and she brings such inner calm,’ beamed Gianna Regenbrecht after her ride with her horse ‘Flori’.
Just behind them, Melanie Wienand rode the 13-year-old gelding Lemony’s Loverboy by Lemony’s Nicket/Fürst Piccolo (breeder: Volker Stoffers, Münster) to the bronze medal. For the pair, this marks another milestone following their successes in recent years. Among the highlights was the team gold medal at the European Championships in Ermelo.
