GERMANY recorded a comprehensive, all-the-way victory in the team competition at last week’s European eventing championships on home soil at Luhmühlen where they completed on a total of 82.5 penalties.

The individual gold and silver medallists, Ingrid Klimke (SAP Hale Bob, 22.2) and Michael Jung (fischerChipmunk FRH, 24.9), naturally provided counting scores as did Andreas Dibowski who finished 16th individually on FRH Corrida (35.4). The discard score was that of Kai Rüder who, having amassed 16 cross-country time faults, was 24th with Colani Sunrise (41.8).
