Equestrian sport: Failures before the Dressage World Championships: After Klimke also Schürmann

Schürmann impressed at the German championship and secured a place in the national team. Now Raphael Netz is taking their place with Great Escape Camelot. The team in Hagen also includes Isabell Werth with Wendy, Semmieke Rothenberger with Farrington and Frederic Wandres with Bluetooth.

Klimke’s stallion Vayron is also not fit

Hagen is the second World Cup sighting after the DM in Balve. At the tournament at Hof Kasselmann, in addition to the four members of the national team, other couples can also recommend themselves for the World Cup in the event’s individual tests. This also includes the four-time Olympic dressage champion Jessica von Bredow-Werndl with Kismet and Katharina Hemmer, who was part of the German gold team at the European Championships in France last year with Denoix.

Ingrid Klimke, who also rode on the German gold team at the European Championships, has no chance. Her stallion Vayron was already out of the DM and is not fit enough to start in Hagen, as the riding association announced last week.
