German equestrian Michael Jung heads the contingent for the European Championships in equestrianism from Germany
Isabell Werth, a four-time Olympic gold medalist and a highly decorated equestrian athlete, is set to compete in the upcoming championships in English Oxfordshire, scheduled for 18-21 September. She will be joined by her horse, Bella Rose, a renowned horse in the equestrian world, known for its speed and agility.
Werth is not the only German rider aiming for glory at the event. The German Equestrian Committee (DOKR) has nominated a six-member team for the championships, which now includes eight German riders. Among them is Ludwig Schaefer, a veteran rider with extensive experience in international competitions.
Schaefer will be participating in the team competition, alongside the previously announced six-member team. However, the final lineup of the four riders for the championships will be decided on-site. Schaefer will be riding his gold horse, Chipmunk, in the team event.
The Bad Sodener youngster, a three-time Olympic champion, will also be competing in the championships. Although his identity is not publicly known at this time, he will be riding Chipmunk in the individual competition. The young rider's specific event is the individual competition, where he hopes to add another gold medal to his impressive collection.
The Bad Sodener youngster and Werth have both found great success with their horses in previous competitions. The young rider has won three Olympic gold medals in individual competition, while Werth has won multiple world and European championships with Bella Rose.
In 2023, the German team won silver in a previous competition, and they will be aiming for gold this time around. The location of the championships, set in the picturesque English countryside of Oxfordshire, promises to be an exciting backdrop for the competition.
The DOKR has also nominated two additional riders for the championships in English Oxfordshire: Ludwig Schaefer and Isabell Werth. Both riders will be competing in both the team and individual competitions, making Germany a strong contender for the top spot on the podium.
The championships are set to be an exciting event for equestrian fans, with some of the world's best riders competing for gold in the beautiful English countryside. Stay tuned for updates on the German team's performance and the final results of the championships.
