Germany's U25 Show Jumping Cup: Successful premiere in Groß Viegeln

Franziska Müller from Hückeswagen and her Rhineland mare Cornado's Queen were two tenths of a second faster in the jump-off of the S*** class than the runners-up, Christin Wascher (Redefin) and Oldenburg's Quincy. Five couples had made it to the jump-off, three remained flawless. Linus Georg Weber and Hubertushofs Calido, who was bred by the Weber family, secured third place.

There are three tests per station for the talents in the U25 jumping cup. In addition to the warm-up test, the first and second ratings are calculated as qualification for the final of the tournament series at the CHIO Aachen. The points from the first rating are added to those from the second rating, with the final qualification being multiplied by 1.5.

The five best per station are allowed to start in the final in the Aachen Soers. Ten talents have already qualified in Hagen and Mannheim. In addition to the three best couples in the final qualification, i.e. Franziska Müller, Christin Wascher and Linus Georg Weber, Robin Naeve and Pheline Ahlmann also secured a ticket in Groß Viegeln. The latter had won the first ranking with Dialo. The last chance to qualify for Aachen is during the German Championships at the Longines Balve Optimum from June 9th to 12th.
