The world elite of show jumping and dressage will be guests at the international horse show in Neumünster until Sunday. Will Janne Meyer win the Riders Tour? The NDR broadcasts live on two days.
At the 72nd edition of the traditional tournament, the main focus is on the Grand Prix on Sunday. Because then the decision will be made as to who will be “Rider of the Year”. Before the final eighth stage, Janne Friederike Meyer-Zimmermann (Pinneberg), who won the prestigious series in 2015, leads the ranking with 57 points. They are followed by Sophie Hinners, who was born in Lower Saxony (43 points) and the Dane Mathias Norhaeden, who has lived in Elmshorn for years (36 points).

Like the top trio, Mario Stevens will also be there in Neumünster. The show jumper from Molbergen, who triumphed in the Grand Prix at the VR Classics in 2020, has 23 points to his credit. A win earns 20 points, second place 17, and 15th place earns one point.
The sports club will show the decision on Sunday from 3.45 p.m. to 5 p.m. live on TV and here on NDR.de as well as the championship on Saturday (4 p.m. to 4.45 p.m.).
