Plenty of good mood, sunshine but also hard fights for the medals,
at the German Youth Championships in Munich-Riem, were the
dominating factors this past weekend. Some of the favorites from
Bavaria were simply unlucky. Bavarian Champion Max Schmid, for
instance, and also Lawrence Greene, rode excellently but had pure
bad luck in the course, resulting in some faults and hence the loss
of the chance for a medal. However, Denise Sulz, one of the EYCup
riders, was able to hold her own in the Young Riders/Jumping
category: she ended up with the silver medal as reward for her
excellent performance. Among those watching as she received her
medal, incidentally, was also a famous horse-fan: Monika Hohlmeier
had personally come to Riem to witness the event!
There was a beautiful
sponsor display case at the German Youth Championships at Munich
Riem, highlighting some of the finest creations of Thomas Sabo,
whose exclusive jewelry is by now worn all over the world. Directly
outside the VIP tent, there was plenty to be admired in the showcase
and, what was best, the medal winners all got some fine Sabo jewelry
as special prizes. To hand these over, then MD and his assistant had
personally come to congratulate the up-and-coming stars on their
great performance. We are very pleased at how much Sabo continues to
support our sport and the motivation this gives to the young riders.
