The Grand Prize of the Chio Aachen has captivated the riding world again. Andre Thieme and DSP Chakaria were able to assert themselves as the winner after an impressive jump -off. But Richard Vogel and United Touch S also performed strongly and took third place.

The struggle for victory was intense, but in the end it was Thieme who was ahead with his mare Chakaria. His brave ride and the precise turn to the decisive obstacle brought him the longed -for success.

Richard Vogel also performed strongly and narrowly missed the victory. Despite an error on the last obstacle, he was happy about third place. His disappointment was noticeable, but he showed size in the defeat and praised the performance of his horse.
