The longlist of nominated German entries for the 2023 European Eventing Championships at Haras du Pin has been released – featuring three combinations from last year’s world gold medal-winning side among a host of top names.
The list was revealed following the eventing Nations Cup at CHIO Aachen, with combinations ranked in three blocks.
The final entries list for the four-strong German team, plus two individual spaces, at the European Championships (9 to 13 August) will be made following the CCI4*-S at Jardy, France (14 to 16 July).
Three of the four combinations on the victorious German team in Prationi feature among the first block of nominated entries longlisted for the European Championships. These are Sandra Auffarth (Viamant Du Matz), Michael Jung (FischerChipmunk FRH, with whom he won team gold, or Kilcandra Ocean Power) and Christoph Wahler (Carjatan S).
Blenheim CCI4*-L victors Malin Hansen-Hotopp and Carlitos Quidditch K are also among the nominated entries in the first block on the Europeans longlist, as are Jérôme Robiné and Black Ice – the highest-placed German combination at Luhmühlen CCI5* in June.
