Prize of BFT Cognos GmbH
Madlin Tillmann for the third time
This year, the pony tour at the Aachen Dressage Youngstars was firmly in the hands of Madlin Tillmann from the Rhineland and her 12-year-old gelding Chilly Morning WE.
Three starts, three victories, plus the sash of the Pony Champion 2024 presented by UVEX on top. Madlin Tillmann's debut at the Aachen Dressage Youngstars could not have been more successful. "It really couldn't have gone any better for us. I'm just super happy," said the 14-year-old, delighted with her new personal best of 78.408 per cent, with which she was rewarded by the jury for her freestyle, which was peppered with the highest level of difficulty. So it's no wonder that the young Rhinelander threw her arms around her successful partner Chilly Morning WE's neck in joy and gratitude after the final salute. And rightly so! "This is what good riding looks like," said the commentating judge Dr Sven-Günter Rothenberger, paying tribute to the performance of the two double European champions. So it's no wonder that Madlin Tillmann once again took the top spot in the classification after her freestyle to the sounds of Lena Meyer-Landrut's Satellite.
Behind her, the two other podium places in the Prize of BFT Cognos GmbH were also firmly in German hands. Hannah Charlotte Isbruch and her ten-year-old mare Dabia Dior danced to second place (76.683%), while Leni-Sophie Gosmann in the saddle on Diamantini EA WE (76.492%) was delighted with third place.
