An unforgettable final: Rhenish championships inspire!
Last Sunday an exciting event was celebrated at the Rhineland Equestrian Sports Center in Langenfeld: “Fortuna Cologne meets equestrian sports”. Organized by Fortuna Cologne in cooperation with FEHN Legal and the Rhineland Equestrian Sports Association (PSVR), the daily program was dedicated to the final tests in dressage and jumping. Nationally and internationally known riders showed off their skills in front of an enthusiastic audience who eagerly waited for the championship titles to be awarded. The big highlight of the event was the celebratory championship ceremony, which received a special touch with the traditional championship christening in the moat, as Fortuna Cologne reports.
The best riders from the Rhenish regional association were represented with their ponies and horses at the Rhenish Championships, which took place from June 26th to 29th. Medals in gold, silver and bronze were awarded in different age groups: from children and pony riders to juniors and seniors. An additional highlight this year was the determination of the Rhenish young champions. The program on the final day was particularly diverse and offered the spectators impressive results as well as the dazzling championship ceremony.
