Shooting Star Torloxten On a Roll
The
Bad Honnef organization, directed by judge Uwe Spenlen,
was faced with difficulties during the junior rider
qualifiers. On Saturday, June 30, 2001, a local rain
storm descended upon the idyllic island, causing the
first junior riders' qualifying test to be scratched
entirely. This meant that the German junior riders only
had one final test in order to qualify for their country's
European championships' team. Shooting Star Lena-Alexandra
Torloxten dominated her division aboard the famous Oldenburger
gelding Rio's Chalston.
Juliane Brunkhorst created a comfortable second place
niche position aboard La Boom. Dirk Viebrock and his
Willy The Kid settled themselves in third position.
Three times team gold medallist at the European Pony
Championships, Kira Kroncke, was luckily enough to have
scored constantly throughout the season because her
performance in Bad Honnef would not have been good enough
to be selected for the team. With Mont Royal, Kroncke
messed up two important flying lead changes in her test
and, therefore, placed sixth in Bad Honnef. Nevertheless,
did the DOKR-committee find her previous performances
convincing enough to select her as fourth member for
the German Junior Riders' team.
Reserve combinations are Jessica and Benjamin Werndl
with Nokturn and Duke and Isabell Kettner with Avandgard.
