The CSI*, with a total of 1120.700 Euro
in prize monies, offers not only best conditions and a total of four
world ranking points to be gained but it also attracts the top
showjumping stars to the Salzburg Flachgau region.
Among others, the Dortmund Championship Series winner, Franz-Josef
Dahlmann (GER), will be there. Also competing are such big name
riders as Beat Mändli (CH) or audience favorite Hugo Simon (AUT).
But the international up- and - coming riders are also going to have
their place at this show: for - after its stops at Bremen, Dortmund,
Arezzo and Neuendorf - the European Youngster Cup U25 will hold its
next qualifiers at Lamprechtshausen. Interest in this international
Cup series, which is known as a stepping stone for future team
members, is huge: young stars like
Felix
Hassmann (GER), young rider European Champion
Philipp
Züger (CH) and his sister
Annina
(4th place in the Junior's European Championship) or the German "shooting
star"
Alexander Hufenstuhl (GER) are just some of the riders competing
at Salzburg. There will also be numerous U25 riders from nations
like Croatia, Germany, Italy, Poland, Czech Republic, the Slovak
Republic, Switzerland, Hungary and Austria.
The same applies to the second international week to be held at
Lamprechtshausen, which is dedicated completely to up-and-coming
stars and is the largest show in Austria for young hopefuls. Between
May 29th and June 1st, the Amadeus Junior Special, with 29000 Euro
in prize monies, will host the EYCup a second time, with
competitions for riders between the ages of 12 and 25: Ponies,
children, juniors, young riders and U25. |

Annina
Züger (SUI) makes history with a double win in the European
Youngster Cup |
10.05.2009 |
Never before has this
happened in the history of the European Youngster Cup:
Young Swiss rider
Annina Züger raced like wildfire across the select
course of the EYCup Young Rider Grand Prix: as the first
of nine riders who had qualified, she delivered a time
of 44.30 seconds that could not be matched on her horse
Madameke and then achieved the second best time in the
saddle of her second horse in the finals, Liberte
Courcelle. Yesterday's winner of the EYCup round hence
ended up a class apart from the rest, recommending
herself through her actions as a team member for
Switzerland for the upcoming Young Rider European
Championships. The only one to remotely come close to
her achievement was the young German rider
Wolfgang Puschak jun. on Umar. Based in Augsburg
(Germany), he was the only rider aside from
Annina Züger to deliver a clear round and came
through the jump-off with zero faults and 44.89 seconds.
That she is a tough cookie, meanwhile, was proven by the
current points leader
Carina Hindelang. The German rider and her mount
Promi model had a fall in the triple but, after the
doctors had checked her out, she was back in the saddle
soon afterwards: riding her second horse, Concord, clear
through the first round while, having one down in the
jump-off that followed, she lost her possible third
place. |

Switzerland twice good in the European Youngster Cup! |

In the 1.40 class (S*) of
Saturday, with a total of 12 obstacles and 15 jumps over
1.40 m, course designer Christoph Georg Bödicker really
went to work on the technical side. No problem for the
fast Swiss girls who presented plenty of horse and rider
power when they negotiated the jumps.
Annina Züger virtually raced over the jumps with her
chestnut gelding Liberte Courcelle, and remained clear.
She achieved the sensational time of 63.40 seconds,
which nobody to follow her could match. With some two
seconds more, team colleague
Marianne Kistler (SUI) placed second on Rush on du
Houssoit and
Monika Noskovicova followed in 3rd place with Herge
des Hayettes (67.61 seconds). |

Go
Switzerland! Annina Züger does good in the EYCup |

A splendid mix of the
various nations, stiff competition for world ranking points and
youthful abandon ... all these factors characterized today's Amadeus
Horse Outdoors.
It was the largest number of horse and riders to descend on
Lamprechtshausen yet, a true mammoth project. More then 400
beautiful horses will be on the facility until May 10th and there is
only one thing their riders really want: to win! |
The
exciting finals round of today was won by
Annina Züger (SUI),who claimed victory in the
opening competition of the European Youngster Cup by but
a fraction of a second before Patrick Müller (GER)
As the day drew to an end, the boys turned up the volume
in the European Youngster Cup Opening. After an exciting
fight for first place, two girls ended up in the top
three: 17 year old Swiss rider
Annina Züger (SUI) ,whose role model is Rodrigo
Pessoa , claimed first place with her 12 year old mount
Madameke (57.48 seconds).
Alexander Müller (GER) was a gentleman and
smilingly accepted his second place, which he achieved
with an almost even time (57.69 seconds) on his 10 year
old gelding Le Coeur. Go Switzerland Go! This was also
the motto for third place in this EY Cup round:
Marianne Kistler (SUI) and her 8 year old chestnut
mare Rush on du Hoissoit claimed the ribbon here. |
