Last weekend the time had finally come - after a long break from competitions, I and my horses were back on the show jumping competition in Hohen Wieschendorf. The anticipation was great and the expectations were high - and I was not disappointed!

My youngster showed his skills on Friday and secured a respectable 3rd place in the L show jumping class. He also impressed with a solid round in the 1.10m show jumping class, which earned us a good placing.

But the highlight of the day was undoubtedly Prosecco, who showed a fantastic performance in the 1.20m jump and secured a well-deserved third place. His jumping ability and our well-rehearsed teamwork paid off - a moment that I particularly enjoyed.

Saturday also brought further success: Prosecco once again delivered an impressive round in the 1.20m jumping and was then even able to place in the demanding 1.30m jumping. These performances are not only a credit to my horse, but also the result of hard work and intensive training.

For me, this tournament was an important step back into competition mode after the break and at the same time a confirmation that our efforts are paying off. I am looking forward to the tournaments still to come this year and am excited to see what challenges and successes they will bring. It remains exciting - and I am looking forward to enjoying every moment with my horses and reaching new heights together.
