Hot off a win at Boekelo’s CCIO4*-L last week, Germany’s Julia Krajewski was the day one leader in the 7-year-old Championship at Mondial du Lion, host of the WBFSH Young Horse World Championships this weekend. This preeminent competition has yielded championship and 5* horses and is always worth following along with. Julia rode the Chilli Morning clone, Chilli Morning II to a score of 26.2 to lead the field with about 50% of the pairs yet to see today. “[A] 26.2 and the lead after day 1 left us very happy and proud,” Julia wrote on Instagram. “He was super focused and tried so hard to do everything the best he can do yet.”
In the 6-year-old Championship, German rider Sophie Leube leads with way with Hey Lucky Stan FBW on a score of 26.8.
Dressage continues today and can be followed live on ClipMyHorse TV here.
