Dorothee Schneider has announced her withdrawal to ride Dayman in the 4* tour after already missing out on the German Championships in Balve. At the CDI Munich, Schneider and Dayman got eliminated from the Grand Prix Special. Despite missing Balve the German equestrian federation invited the pair to compete in Aaachen.

"We had him completely checked out just to be safe - currently without any pathological findings," Schneider explained. "Nevertheless, I want to give him some time right now and not directly go back to the next big competition. (...) For me the most important thing is and remains that Dayman is fit - and stays that way."
