Sophie Kampmann has become the new rider of the 2011 European Individual Test Pony champion Cinderella M (by Constantin x Donnerhall). The bay German riding pony mare will stay in North Germany to continue her career with Kampmann.
The gorgeous bay mare was previously trained and ridden by the 15-year old Grete Linnemann, who has become too tall for the pony. She competed the mare at the 2008 Bundeschampionate, where they became reserve champions in the 5-year old division. At the 2009 European Pony Championships they won team gold but than had to withdraw due to lameness. The couple returned to the 2011 European Championships and won team gold and individual test gold.
Sophie Kampmann has been competing Voyager and Den Ostrik's Dailan but her latter pony has become too small for her and the lease ended in 2011. Dailan's owner Sven Rothenberger decided to sell the Dutch bred chestnut pony to Dutch pony rider Jelle Peeters.
Kampmann will now focus on Voyager and her a new second pony Cinderella M.
