Athina is in Basel, Switzerland for the CSI 5* equestrian event. Yesterday, on her grey Uceline, she finished tenth in a competition, defeating 16 Swiss riders, and pocketing 400 CHF (Swiss Francs.) And today Doda won the Championship on the 13-year-old Hanoverian AD Ashleigh Drossel Dan. He won 28,000 CHF. See the Swiss German report: Baz Online.
Doda told the event reporter that he has been riding "Drossel Dan" only since May last year. He described the horse as intelligent, sensitive, and agile and enormous "Springvermögen." I don't know exactly how to translate that word. Branching ability? Jumping stride? At any rate, he will ride Drossel again in Zurich, where three years ago he triumphed with the chestnut mare Picolien Zeldenrust.
Charlotte Casiraghi is also in Basel to compete in the amateur classes.
