The Show jumping 'Games' have started. The riders have had their first experience with the European Championships of 2015... here are some quotes : Penelope Leprevost "I'm very happy with my mare as she didn't jump the last show here. She feels very good here in this ring and it's perfect for the team too. This is not her first time jumping in Aachen, she jumped here when she was eight. She has a lot of character, is sensitive and special." Ludger Beerbaum "You could feel how much the crowd was cheering today and it is so nice to be here. Aachen is a great place for equestrian sport - most riders don't get the chance to compete in front of a crowd like this - it's just fantastic." Joe Clee "I was aware that I had to go fast; he's a great horse to go fast on, the faster you go the more he tries. I was a bit worried going in so fast as the faster you go the higher he jumps, and there were some big jumps in there, but he handled it really well and the further we went the more risks I felt we could take, so it was really nice."
