Diana Porsche triumphs in Doha: Austria's first victory at the five-star tournament!

A historic moment for Austrian equestrian sport! Diana Porsche sensationally won the Grand Prix Special at the five-star tournament in Doha with her eleven-year-old Hanoverian gelding Dahoud. With an impressive score of over 70 percent, she not only secured the first Austrian victory in the history of this prestigious tournament, but also celebrated Dahoud's first ever international victory. "The ride felt great! Dahoud was so focused and we had a lot of highlights," the 28-year-old cheered after her triumphant ride.

The entire week was an exciting experience for the duo. Dahoud was on a plane for the first time and had to adapt to the extraordinary conditions in the arena. "I'm incredibly proud of how Dahoud acted all week. He did really well, right in the middle of this incredible atmosphere," said a relieved Porsche. Eyes were also on other participants such as the Swedish dressage great Patrik Kittel and the Polish Olympic surprise Sandra Sysojeva, against whom she asserted herself in the Grand Prix on February 21st. This sensational achievement bodes great things for the future.

On the way to new heights

With this excellent start to the season in international equestrian sport, the chance for further success becomes more concrete. Diana Porsche will compete in the next international tournament in her home country, which will take place over the Easter holidays at the Stadl-Paura horse center. Young talent Kentucky will also make his debut in the premier class there. The positive experiences from Doha form the perfect basis for the challenges ahead, such as eqwo.net reported. With this victory, Porsche and Dahoud have made history not only for themselves, but also for the Austrian equestrian scene, and expectations for upcoming competitions are high.
