2024 Swiss Dressage Championships

Pony rider Emma Merholz, children rider Malina Schneider, junior rider Mia Sanna Walser, young rider Meilin Ngovan, Under 25 rider Robynne Graf and senior Grand Prix rider Charlotte Lenherr became the winners of the 2024 Swiss Dressage Championships held in Dielsdorf (SUI) on 29 August - 1 September 2024.

The event was hosted at Stall Mainau.

Unlike last year, it was an action packed field of competitors with this time national championships in the Children and Under 25 division too. The feature division of the show - the senior Grand Prix tour - saw no less than 17 combinations entered, what looked like a historic record.

Charlotte Lenherr renewed her title topping the board in two rounds: the Grand Prix and Kur to Music. Aboard her 14-year old Oldenburg gelding Sir Stanley W (by Stedinger x Florencio) she was undefeated, winning the Grand Prix with 71.480% and the Kur with 74.580%.

Lenherr was joined on the podium by silver medal winning Charlotta Rogerson. Riding her 14-year old KWPN mare Famora (by Zack x Krack C) she was third in the Grand Prix with 69.720% and second in the freestyle with 73.330%. The bronze went to Delia Eggenberger on the 14-year old Wesfalian Fairtrade (by Fiderstep x Santino). Eggenberger scored higher on her young 9-uyear old mare Santa Maria (2nd in the Grand Prix with 70.140%) but rode her second horse Fairtrade in both rounds, which counted for a championship ranking. With Fairtrade she got 69.180% in the Grand Prix and 73.280% in the Kur.

Switzerland's individual Olympic rider in Paris - Andrina Suter on the 14-year old Westfalian Fibonacci (by Flanagan x Wallenberg) - landed fourth place.
