wins Pony Derby Dressage 2000
With international dressage stars dancing the Grand
Prix kur on the backdrop at the national competition
in Bad Salzuflen, Germany, the 2000 Pony Dressage Derby
challenged once again Germany's best pony riders.
One day before her 16th birthday, Kira Kroncke from
Dorum (GER) won the show with her third (!) choice in
her FEI dressage pony collection. Kira, who is already
competing in the juniors riders division, saddled Edwin,
a Dutch bred pony she is riding for her fifth year.
Kroncke kept her two other stars at home, the 1999 European
Champion Conrad and the top breeding stallion Dressmann
I.
Second place went to Linda Illmer who saddled the 7
year old approved Going East. Illmer, who loves speindg
her days calling with her own cell phone, was recently
featured in the "Rising Stars" section of the German
magazine "Pferdesport International". Third place was
awarded to the 15 year old Alice Fengels who rode the
approved pony sire Domino Dancing. The three winners
are members of the German Pony Frame striving for a
team place for the 2000 European Pony Championships
in Hagen, Germany, late July.
