Luhmühlen also serves as the German National Championship in the CCI4*-S division, meaning there will be top competition in both the 4* and its 5* counterpart.

A small-but-mighty North American contingent is also settled in Germany and ready for the week ahead:

Canada’s Karl Slezak and Kirk Hoppner’s & his own Fernhill Wishes are rerouting here after retiring early on course at Badminton last month. For the U.S., Matt Flynn and Kathleen & Patrick Flynn & Merry Go Round Farm’s Wizzerd are also rerouting from Badminton, accompanied by Liz Halliday-Sharp with The Monster Partnership’s Cooley Quicksilver, Lauren Nicholson and Ms. Jacqueline Mars’ Vermiculus, and Will Coleman with two rides in the 4*-S (Hyperion Stud’s Chin Tonic HS and 2021 Aachen winner Off the Record).
