Team silver in the 2012 Juniors European Championships, Germany won today the gold medal by team at the Euro in Compiègne.
With an overall score of 72.414%, the Mannschaft steps in front of the Netherlands in second place (70.712%) and Denmark third (68.865%). A very appreciated victory that Germany presented a new team here.
Maria Schierhölter-Otte, chef d'équipe: “This is a nice surprise. Of the four riders of the team, 3 had already performed in the Pony Riders championships, so they were a little accustomed to this type of test. This selection for Euro of Compiègne wasn't only good scores but also a great team spirit in the Juniors.” Hans-Heinrich Meyer zu Ströhen, trainer: “A team is gradually built with the parents, coaching techniques… it's a long process, but it is always easier to work with young riders because of their age, all they want is to do well.”
