Germany’s Ingrid Klimke debuting her partnership with Vayron that was on Denmark’s silver medal team ridden by Daniel Bachmann Andersen at the Paris Olympics.

KRONENBERG, Netherlands, Nov. 29, 2024–Ingrid Klimke, a star in eventing, debuted her new partnership with Denmark’s Olympic dressage team silver medal mount, Vayron, for victory Friday in the Peelbergen CDI3* Grand Prix.

Ingrid and the 13-year-old Westfalen stallion scored 73.609% in an unanimous choice of the five judges for first place in the lineup of 35 starting combinations.

Ingrid, a double Olympic eventing team gold medalist for Germany, took over the ride on Vayron after the Paris Olympics where the horse was ridden by Daniel Bachmann Andersen on Denmark’s silver medal squad. The German owners made the switch, they said, because they wanted the horse to be closer to their home.

Although Ingrid’s major accomplishments of two Olympic team golds and a team silver among a host of other world and continental championship medals have been in eventing, she has been active at the top of dressage–on Germany’s team at the 2022 World Championships and the 2023 World Cup Final in Omaha.

Semmieke Rothenberger on the 14-year-old KWPN gelding was runner-up on 72.065%. Semmieke and Farington were on Germany’s gold medal team at the 2023 European Under-25 Championships after a star-studded youth career beginning with ponies in 2011.

Belgium’s Justin Verboomen and Zonik Plus, eight-year-old Hanoverian stallion, placed third on 71.739%.
