Show Jumping
Several Luxembourgish show jumpers recently competed in Heiligenwald (Germany). Lucie Weber and Sayana finished seventh in a 90cm A* style jumping competition in Saarland. In their respective sections of an L-level jumping competition over 1.10 meters, Corinne Schoue (Gulliksen, 76.61″) finished sixth and Sarah Pétré (Voyou d’Alêne, 77.21″) seventh. In section 2, Corinne Schoue (Galtero de St. Martin, 76.12″) finished fifth and Marylène Hartert (Athilas, 77.61″) seventh.
Annemarie Hartert narrowly missed the podium in an L-level show jumping competition with increasing difficulty over 1.15 meters, finishing fourth with C-Star (76.63%). Diane Kettmann, however, had reason to celebrate: with Armiteus, she came in third in an M*-level show jumping competition over 1.20 meters (63.62%), behind Vivienne Wodarczyk (Dede, 60.69%) and Joachim Specht (Caprice, 62.96%). In a 1.10-meter class, Noemie Goergen finished fourth with Laravola in 70.78 seconds and sixth with Unforgettable in 75.98%.
Laure Stammet and Carentina Cornet also placed in that round, finishing twelfth out of 36 starters. Goergen and Laravola finished sixth in the 1.25-meter class (clear round 72.93 seconds). In the 1.40-meter S* jumping competition, the highlight of the tournament, Diane Kettmann and First Vleut finished fourth due to a single rail down, but their time of 73.16 seconds was by far the fastest.
Dressage
A few dressage riders registerted with the FLSE also entered at the same venue last weekend and it was Mandy Zimmer who achieved the best results from a Luxembourgish perspective. In an S* dressage test, she placed fourth on Sweet Symphony with 69.643 percent; the winning pair, Claudia Rassmann and Villepetit, scored 70.516 percent. Zimmer also placed ninth in the same test on Famous Boy (68.095%).
The 38-year-old Luxembourger finished a young horse test, also at the S* level, with two podium finishes. Behind winner Rassmann, who scored 71.032 percent on Bella Ducati, Famous Boy, presented by Zimmer, was awarded second place with 69.325 percent, and third place also went to Zimmer, this time with Sweet Symphony (69.246%). Another Luxembourger, Tanja Louis, also achieved a placing in an amateur S* level dressage test, finishing eighth with Iltschi and a score of 68.016 percent.
