Pinneberg: Victories for Vainqueur and Valenciano

The schedule in Münster made it possible for me to ride “Roman” in the Grand Prix Special at the Tournament of Champions and, so to speak, to compete with Vainqueur and Valenciano at the Anakenenhof in Pinneberg in between. Both chestnuts won their classes — one in the Grand Prix and the other in the Dressage Horse S class — with fantastic performances, and I was particularly pleased with Vainqueur’s (owned by Gaby Kippert and Eva-Maria Mann) supremely confident performance. 73.733 percent! And that right off the bat after nearly a year away from competition! Valenciano, owned by Maik Kanitzky, also did a fantastic job. And tomorrow, Sunday, my attention will once again turn to First Romance in the Grand Prix Special in Münster...
