Swiss Under 25 Grand Prix rider Andrina Suter was in the money at the small, international youth riders competition held at Ted Jonkers' equestrian centre in Prangings, Switzerland on 6 - 8 May 2016. After placing second in the Intermediaire II, she won the Short Grand Prix and Kur to Music, heading a field of just four competitors.
The 23-year-old Suter is based in Dörflingen, Switzerland and trains with Hansruedi Geissmann. She scored 66.579% in the Inter II, 69.651% in the Short Grand Prix and 71.125% in the Kur to Music aboard her 17-year-old Swedish warmblood gelding Axiom.
Axiom is bred by Madeleine Sandell bark and is by D-Day out of Emmy Lou (by Krevad). He has been owned Belgian Stefan van Ingelgem and German horse dealer Jochen Arl before moving to Switzerland in 2010 in the ownership of Katharina Heeb. The Suter family acquired the gelding in 2013.
Andrina made her CDI debut on the grey Axiom at the CDI Biarritz in October 2014 and has competed at Vidauban, Nice, Compiegne, Salzburg, Caselle di
Sommacampagna and Nieuw en St. Joosland since then.
Suter has been a steady member on the Swiss dressage team, having competed at the 2009 and 2010 European Junior Dressage Championships and the 2012 and 2013 European Young Riders Dressage Championships on the Trakehner bred Popcorn II (by Anduc x Flaneur).
