2015 CDIO-PJYR Hagen

The German pony kids were in command of both FEI pony tours at the beautiful and well organized Future Champions CDIO-PJYR Hagen at Hof Kasselmann in Hagen, Germany, on 18 - 21 June 2015. Semmieke Rothenberger and Nadine Krause snatched the trophies in all six pony classes, but an especially strong Danish field was there to put the pressure on.

In her last year in ponies 2014 European Pony Champion Semmieke Rothenberger and her 16-year old routinier Deinhard B (by Dornik B x Golden Dancer) won the international show in Vidauban and now in Hagen, and only in Addington were they beaten by their long-time rival Phoebe Peters and SL Lucci, the 2013 European Pony Championship. In Hagen Semmieke once more put outstanding scores on the board with 77.991% in the team test, 79.024% in the Individual Test and 80.125% in the Kur.

Cousin Nadine Krause and her 9-yearr pony Cyrill were solid in second place in the team test and Kur but had an unusual mishap in the individual where the pony spooked so hard that Krause was forced to retire. German newcomer Katharina Ottenwess is certainly proving her worth on the 11-year old Mondsilber in her third international competition in her career. She was third and second in the CDIO pony tour.

Nadine Krause on Danilo Nadine Krause and her number one ride Danilo were unbeatable in the CDI pony tour. The pair scored 75.855% in the team test, 74.715 in the Individual and 77.125% in the Kur. Each time they had Semmieke Rothenberger on her second pony Paso Double on their heels.
