An annual entertainment highlight, as
always, will be the grand fireworks of Saturday evening, which is
always good for countless Ahs and Ohs. For the first time this year,
visitors will be able to enjoy the unique combination of showjumping
and the Hardenberg Klassika Fair, a trade fair for garden
architecture and lifestyle held in a stylish but familiar setting on
the same grounds. In the midst of the romantic castle gardens,
exhibitors present beautiful objects from the areas of garden
architecture, living culture and lifestyle. Top level showjumping, a quality trade show that invites strolling, and an exciting entertainment program: these are just some of the many highlights of the 2009 Hardenberg Burgturnier! |

Saturday evening, the
guests were able to enjoy the so-called Gotha night, which was a
splendid mix of show and sport. Among the highlights was an
international S jumping class as part of the Young Masters
League/EYCUP. Schwerte-based rider
Gerrit Schepers
delivered a splendid performance in the saddle on his Hannoverian
gelding Rubin Ramazotti when he won the jump-off and thus gained his
entry ticker for the finals at Frankfurt later this year. The 20
year old member of the German army trains with Lars Meyer zu Bexten
and he beamed after his win: "This course was very challenging
indeed. I had managed to get some good results on the other two days
and so I had a good feeling when I rode in." Prior to the jump-off,
his trainer told him: "Give it your all!". Gerrit Shepers grinned:
"And this is what I did!" |
