With great anticipation and a touch of excitement, the riding students from Anja Rietbrock’s stable kicked off their first competition of the 2026 season—and did so with great success.
Special mention goes to the young rider Marlene, who made an impressive debut alongside her Andalusian, Orgulloso. In the E-level dressage, the harmonious pair impressed in all three basic gaits—walk, trot, and canter—with composure, concentration, and a beautiful performance. A successful start that demonstrates just how much hard work and training has been invested over the past few months.
But that’s not all: Hanna also demonstrated her skills in the A-level show jumping. With courage, composure, and a keen sense of rhythm, she mastered the course and proved that she is just as confident in show jumping as she is in dressage.
For the entire stable, this first tournament was a motivating start to the new season. It shows how important good training, team spirit, and the joy of equestrian sports are. We’re looking forward to the upcoming tournaments and will continue to keep our fingers crossed!
Congratulations to all the riding students—and especially to Marlene on this great start to the season!
