2018 CDI Aachen
Eurodressage's German photography correspondent Barbara Schnell was on the scene at the 2018 CDI Aachen - aka "Aachen Dressage Days" - for some beautiful and fun behind the scene photos.
Schnell prefers to park herself in the warm-up with the result that she captures super training photos as well as emotion shots of riders coming out of the competition ring.
Here is a selection of the pictures she took.
