Prize of Dressage Stable Dahmen goes to the reigning European champions
Impressed - that's exactly what the judges and spectators were by the German pony rider Lilly Marie Collin and her proven Cosmo Callidus NRW. The reward: A whopping 78.714 percent and the victory in the Prize of Dressage Stable Dahmen, the opening competition for the pony riders at the Aachen Dressage Youngstars.
Lilly Marie Collin herself was also impressed: "It's always wonderful here in Aachen, especially the way the arena is decorated. Cosmo was super focused the whole time and I am very proud of him." For the three-time European Champion and world number one, the harmonious round on Friday morning was a more than a successful start to her last tournament as a Pony rider. The two Germans Julie Sofie Schmitz-Heinen and Chilly Morning WE (74.524 percent) came second behind the 16-year-old, while Sophie Van der Steen and His Royal Badness DK (74.095 percent) came third.
