Michael Jung took down the competition in two classes this weekend in the second leg of the Strzegom Summer Tour, winning the CCI4*-S with fischerChipmunk FRH and the CCI3*-S with fischerWild Wave.
He and Chipmunk scored an impressive 19.4 in the dressage (you can read our dressage recap and watch a video of Michael’s test here), following it up with the only double-clear cross country trip in his class and a faultless show jumping round.
Dutch rider Raf Kooremans with Dimitri N.O.P. finished second in the CCI3*-S after a clear jumping trial. Third place went to Lea Siegl (AUT) with Fighting Line.

Michi brought three horses to Strzegom and placed at the podium with each of them. With the up-and-coming 8-year-old fischerWild Wave, he was the best in the CCI3*-S, in spite of one knockdown in the jumping. He was third in the same class with Go For S. Second place went to Lea Siegl (AUT) with van Helsing P. A clear round in the cross country and jumping boosted her up the scoreboard after placing 14th in dressage.
Mit einer tollen Nullrunde von fischerChipmunk und somit dem Sieg in der CCI4* geht ein erfolgreiches Wochenende in…
