In Balve Lordswood Dancing Diamond and I celebrated our show premiere today.
The nine-year-old Hanoverian owned by Tanja Rehnig has been ridden for the past two years by Tamara Rehnig, who has been training with me for some time. The Rehnig family has promoted the Dancier son, who became World Champion of Young Dressage Horses as a six-year-old under Anne-Kathrin Pohlmeier, nicely over the past few years. In order for Dancing Diamond to get some show routine now, we decided that I would present him at the show.
I'm very happy with our first start in the run-in test for the final qualification for the Nuremberg Burg Cup. We were able to take fourth place with 71.82 percent, despite a costly change fault and even though I had to ride my horse. Lordswood Dancing Diamond is an incredibly talented horse with great highlights, especially the collected lessons suit the big black horse. Tomorrow, the qualifier is on the agenda for us.
