All eyes are on the 31-year old rider from Hetlingen/Schleswig-Holstein, there are more and more requests for interviews and the cheerful and cheeky jokes from his colleagues certainly increase the pressure to succeed. However, this does not affect him at all, just the contrary – the show jumping rider was completely relaxed at the Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken Meet & Greet, giving precise and eloquent information about a sports year that includes around 40 – 45 show weekends and up to eight horses to be ridden and trained every single day. He then rushed off to compete in the opening jumping competition, relegated Vladimir Beletsky from Russia with Aspen to second place, Janne Friederike Meyer-Zimmermann from Pinneberg with Lima came in third. She also knows about the expectations to succeed – Meyer-Zimmermann won the BEMER Riders Tour a couple of years ago.

The show jumping rider from Westphalia and Peppina G won the Voltaire Design Prize, the first qualification of the international Youngster Tour.
