2003 End-of-the-Year Fun Shots

Friday December 26, 2003: Saint Tropez in Austria

Sometimes it's very hard to identify riders, when they are not dressed in white breeches, a shadbelly, and a top hat. At the CDIO Aachen we already witnessed that haute coûture and design accessories are "in style" amongst riders, but at the CDI Fritzens, one got the impression to be in Saint Tropez instead of the Austrian Alps.

Pictured right is "beauté" Anja Plonzke, owner of Gestut Tannenhof in Wiesbaden, Germany. Organizers of the CDI Fritzens, Mr and Mrs Haim-Swarovski, are clients of Plonzke, having recently bought her Grand Prix horse Chopin.

Anja Plonzke was dressed up in style for the CDI with whip and cigarette in hand, which exemplifies the typical top female German dressage rider.
