Saddle Up for Pentecost: Elite Riders Return to Wiesbaden for Showdown
Riders restart competition in Wiesbaden - Competitors in Wiesbaden resume their races
Hey there!
Get ready to witness some intense equestrian action, as top riders from around the globe head to the bustling city of Wiesbaden for the annual Pentecost Tournament (June 5-9). This thrilling event has been a highlight every year, bringing together the cream of the crop in show jumping, dressage, and more!
Slated to thrill the spectators and leave jaws dropping are riders like the three-time Grand Prix champion, David Will from Pfungstadt. You might remember him for his jaw-dropping win here three years back. In the dressage competition, Dorothee Schneider (Framersheim) will be riding high, fresh off her victory as the 2021 Olympic team champion. Alas, multiple-time winner Isabell Werth (Rheinberg) had to gracefully bow out at the last minute due to her horse sustaining an injury.
Of course, don't miss the electrifying highlights of the competition, such as the Grand Prix on Monday afternoon, the Grand Prix Kür under floodlights on Sunday evening, and the Grand Prix Special on Mondey.
The starting field in Wiesbaden has seen a slight adjustment due to two prestigious show jumping tournaments in France on the same weekend, where German championship team members are battling it out. Furthermore, several horses registered for the German Championships in Balve, happening merely a few days after Wiesbaden, are unavailable for this year's Pentecost tournament.
While details on the complete roster of top riders for the 2023 event remain scarce, previous editions have seen an impressive roll call of equestrian heavyweights. You can check out past event websites, equestrian news platforms, or the official Longines PfingstTurnier website for more information on past participants.
So buckle up and get ready for a whirlwind ride, as the Pentecost Tournament kicks off once again in Wiesbaden!
The competitors of the annual Pentecost Tournament in Wiesbaden, not just show jumpers and dressage riders, but a variety of equestrian athletes, are planning to put their skills on display from June 5-9, showcasing their years of vocational training.
