The world premiere of the "Master Grand Prix over 60" Tour at the 2022 CDI Fritzens found its swinging climax in the Grand Prix Music Freestyle in front of well-filled grandstands in the Alpenstadion at equestrian centre Schindlhof on 9 July 2022.
Bianca Kasselmann Victorious
Grand Prix winner Bianca Kasselmann (GER) triumphed with Dom Perignon to German hits like "Rote Lippen soll man küssen" also in the music freestyle - and that with an impressive 73.525 percent.
Host and inventor of the Master Grand Prix over 60 Evelyn Haim-Swarovski and her mare Delilah Royal, still very hot-blooded at 17, danced to the sounds of a Bee Gees medley to second place with a strong 72.94 percent.
Third place went to the German Maria Rösch with Quadiro with a score of 72.325 percent. All three Master over 60 premiere riders were invited by Countess Ulrike Walderdorff, daughter of the legendary Donnerhall owner Otto Schulte-Frohlinde, to stay with accompaniment at the beautiful Irish castle called Artramon Farm.
To Be Continued
In any case, the Masters format will be continued at the Kasselmann tournaments Horses & Dreams in Hagen and in Ludwigsburg. Also in Wellington (USA) one already thinks of including a Masters over 60 tour.
