Madrid in Motion team winners in Global Champions Tour in Miami Bach
Victor Bettendorf spent Easter in Miami Beach (USA) as part of the Global Champions Tour. Riding the ten-year-old gelding Gibbs un Prince, the Luxembourger finished seventh in a time of 71.13 seconds in this CSI 5* jumping competition over 1.60 meters, but had one rail down. In the team competition, he rode Atchoum de la Roque, also achieving seventh place over 1.55 meters.
What seemed good but not outstanding in the individual rankings looked quite different in the team competition: Bettendorf – on the second-named horse – and his team “Madrid in Motion” with Maikel van der Veluten (NL) and Jack Whitaker (UK) won this ranking of the tournament in Miami Beach.
Podium finishes in Zweibrücken
A Luxembourg victory was celebrated last Saturday in Zweibrücken, Rhineland-Palatinate. Claire Schuler won an L-level show jumping competition over 1.10 meters on Underberg. Kim Grangenette went clear with two horses in a 90 cm clear round, and Sara Brendel, a Luxembourg rider licensed in Germany, finished fifth in a 1.10 meter points jumping competition on Charly Brown.
On Easter Sunday, Annemarie Hartert achieved a placing in another 1.10m show jumping competition. Riding Esperanza vh Scheefkasteel, she finished eleventh out of 38 competitors. She also got ranked over the same height with C-Star. In this show jumping competition with increasing difficulty, she ultimately finished twelfth out of 34. In Gesves (Belgium), Claire Krier, a Luxembourg rider licensed in Belgium, finished ninth in a Class 3 dressage competition with Freudenfeuer, scoring 60.468 percent.
