Christian Ahlmann: "I haven't decided about my Olympic horse yet"

Christian Ahlmann, one of the best German riders in the world, is still working very hard despite the Corona crisis. He is already thinking about the Olympics of 2021. 


As for the Olympics, I think I'm going to bet on 'two horses'. I think both Clintrexo Z (by Clintissimo) and Dominator (by Diamant de Semilly) have a chance to come to Tokyo next year. Clintrexo is the horse I took to the European Championship in Rotterdam last year so he has, despite his young age, some experience. I think Dominator also has all the qualities to stand out, but the future will have to show how he evolves. I will probably never find a horse like Taloubet again. He has really sensational qualities. Of course it is very unfortunate that the Olympic Games were canceled this year, but this was simply the best solution."

"Why didn't I represent Germany's country team for a long time? I didn't constantly want to held accountable by the Federation. Still, I noticed that I started to miss it more and more to represent Germany so I decided to start riding in well-known red outfit again.  Now I have I found a good solution together with the federation that works for both of us. The most important thing for me is that I enjoy representing my country. As soon as that disappears, I won't do it anymore".
