Maurice Tebbel wins first leg of the Riders Tour
It was absouter top sport, which one could find at the weekend in Hagen a.T.W. at the tournament of the family Kasselmann. No matter whether in the dressage or in the jumping. The tension equal to a thriller.
In the end, one stood in front on today's day. Maurice Tebbel. Together with his top stallion Don Diarado, he won the Grand Prix at Horses and Dreams.
Already in the round the stallion jumped by Diarado- one could actually already say, as always- outstanding. In his classic manner he remained under the saddle of the multiple European champion in the U21 range, faultless.
Many of the competitors was already clear after the round in the round that it would be fast in the jump-off.
The fact that Schockemöhle rider Patrick Stühlmeyer also joined the field of clear riders also supported the assumption of a fast jump-off. ClipmyHorse commentators said after his ride: "Stühlmeyer will live up to his role as favorite in the jump-off after this round in the round." They were to be proved right.
In the end, he and his stallion Varihoka du Temple were able to finish in second place, directly behind Tebbel.
Bronze in this select field of starters went to Christopher Kläsener. The former rider of Marco Kutscher was able to place behind Tebbel and Stühlmeyer with the experienced Classic Man V. Classic Man already has a lot of experience in the German Grand Prix arena. He was previously ridden by Toni Hassmann. Hassmann has also been able to celebrate a number of successes with the bay stallion. Among other things, she won a difficult test at the Tournament of Winners in Münster. Then the stallion changed to Christopher Kläsener. For him it was now the first international major placement.
From the point of view of the national trainer Otto Becker a pleasing success, in addition to the fact that the first three places remain in German hands.
Both the winner and the two other placers were all under 30 years old. Of course, that also speaks to the great young talent Becker can expect in future years.
Tebbel and Stühlmeyer are close friends and already know each other from their youth days.
There is also a family connection between Tebbel and Kläsener. Christopher Kläsener has been the boyfriend of Maurice Tebbel's sister, Justine, for some time.
All of them could now collect valuable points for the Bemer Riders Tour and will certainly try to grab more points in the future qualifications.
