What a dream come true this weekend! Siebe received the unique opportunity to compete with Karamella in the international U25 classes during the world’s largest equestrian event, CHIO Aachen.

On Friday, he started on the main arena. After a quick round without faults, they were in the lead, eventually winning the class! What an amazing experience this was, many top riders came to congratulate him, and the audience could be clearly heard during the awards ceremony. We couldn’t have asked for a better start at this competition!

On Saturday, Siebe & Karamella had a relaxing training session, and during training, we bumped into an old acquaintance: Leone Jei! Martin & Leone were also training for the Sunday GP, just like Siebe and Karamella.

Sunday was the day for the U25 GP. After a faultless first round, they made it to the jump-off. Siebe and Karamella were nearly last to go, giving them the advantage of watching the rest. It was clear they had to go for it, as the other riders were going fast. After an incredibly fast jump-off – the fastest Siebe has ridden so far – they were in the lead! No one could beat that time, and they not only won the warm-up class but also the GP! What an experience to be standing as the winner at the awards ceremony on Sunday!

Additionally, Martin & Leone Jei also impressively finished 3rd in the Rolex GP at Aachen!

A big thank you again to CHIO Aachen for giving Siebe the opportunity to participate in this amazing competition!
