Tina Wehlmann and Grand Fox

Fourth member of the German Young Riders' Team is Tina Wehlmann from Recklingshausen. Recently graduated, Tina is enjoying her newly won "freedom" by spending her time with intensive horse training. Trained by Hermann Gösmeier, she became 20 short before the 1999 EUYRC lift-off. While Tina established her biggest successes with the 11 year old Hanoverian Whenever (by Werther), she qualified for the German team with Grand Fox by winning both YR tests at the Bad Honnef trials.

Wehlmann created an astonishing presence at the European Young Riders' Championships in Ksiaz, Poland, as she led in the preliminary and team championship test. In the individual finals team mate Christina von Oldershausen passed her with a 0.16% point difference. Wehlmann and Grand Fox received the individual silver and team gold.
