The opening event of the 2024 international dressage tournament at Achleiten Castle took place on Thursday evening with the CDI3* Grand Prix.
The Swiss Delia Eggenberger presented the 9-year-old Santa Maria, owned by Isabelle Ros, with a clean round, which was awarded 69.022 percent by the prominent panel of judges.
"It was only her second three-star Grand Prix, the mare is incredibly motivated in the arena, we still have to find some calm here and there. But above all the piaffe passage tour was really successful!" explains the 43-year-old professional rider from the Zurich Oberland.
Austria's Franziska Fries and Dedale de Hus OLD were rated 65.456 percent. "For me it is always something very special to be able to compete here at Achleiten Castle alongside all the professionals! I am very happy with our round, we really managed the pirouettes," said the 31-year-old lawyer from Baden, who was accompanied at the awards ceremony by her 4-year-old daughter Magdalena.
