Hagen is always something special. For most riders it´s their first outdoor for the season, and it is a really nice place to join for everyone. Hof Kasselmann is based in Hagen am Teutoburger Wald, and it is directly deep into a beautiful forest, which also often makes the Hagen weather some kind of unpredictable like April weather in general.

The sport started Wednesday with CDI3 Grand Prix where 11 yr old mare Dante´s Pearl by Dante Weltino / San Amour with Charlott-Maria Schürmann showed their qualities and potential in the big sport winning with 73,652%, like they also took the victory in GPS with impressive 75,553% (5,5% ahead of 2nd placed Valparaiso and Laura Strobel). Hagen was just Charlott-Maria and Dante´s Pearl 3rd international event together, as they did their debut back in February in Lier.

When watching at the warm-up area Spanish Santiago Damil was there helping Charlott-Maria Schürmann.

H2R caught both Charlott-Maria and Santiago for a small interviews where they tell about their teamwork.
