Sophie Hinners rides to historic victory in the five-star Grand Prix!
Sophie Hinners, the outstanding rider from Germany, recently caused a stir in international show jumping with impressive performances. The 26-year-old demonstrated her skills on her horse My Prins at the World Cups in London and Verona. In London she took fifth place at the Show Jumping World Cup. Hinners completed the first round without any mistakes, but was eliminated in the jump-off. The victory went to Irishman Darragh Kenny with Eddy Blue. Meanwhile, Mario Stevens from Lastrup achieved 13th place, while Marcus Ehning took 26th place. Philipp Schulze Topphoff finished the first round without making any mistakes.
Successful premiere in Verona
A few days later, a sensational turnaround followed for Hinners: she won the Grand Prix in Verona, her first victory at five-star level! She excelled in the jump-off with a time of just 37.91 seconds, leaving established competitors such as Marcus Ehning and Ben Maher behind. “What’s happening now is really something very special,” beamed Hinners after her victorious lap. The course in the Italian city posed an enormous challenge and only five of the 40 couples, including their competitors, remained clear.
Notably, Hinners is riding My Prins, a horse who previously achieved great success with David Will. “I can’t believe it, it’s my first five-star win,” she remarked enthusiastically. Hinners emphasized the support of her team, which includes David Will and her partner Richard Vogel. These successes strengthen their position in the international show jumping scene and increase expectations for upcoming competitions.
