The “Walk of Fame” at the Aachen Soers has a spectacular new addition: A horseshoe of TSF Dalera BB. And the four-legged star, the Trakehner mare, was present in person when the plate with the horseshoe was placed in the ground.

Only the crème de la crème are allocated a place on the “Walk of Fame”. That is no different on the Sunset Boulevard as at the Aachen Soers. Of course, in Aachen, at the CHIO, it is reserved exclusively for horses. Here, the horseshoes of world-famous four-legged horses are embedded into the ground for eternity. A horseshoe of Hans Günter Winkler’s wonder horse, “Halla” is eternalised here alongside one of Ludger Beerbaum’s “Goldfever” and the magnificent “Totilas” is also honoured there. The most important condition for securing a place on the heroes’ mile in Aachen: A victory in the Rolex Grand Prix, the Lindt-Prize or the SAP Cup.

Last Saturday, the “Walk of Fame” was enhanced by a spectacular new addition: With immediate effect a horseshoe of Jessica von Bredow-Werndl’s “TSF Dalera BB” joined the ranks of the four-legged legends. A well-earned honour, because the 17-year-old Trakehner mare has been the ultimate benchmark in the international dressage sport over the past years. Four Olympic gold medals, six European Championship titles and two World Cup victories are just a small extract of the success story which was rounded off with a triumph in the Lindt-Prize at the CHIO Aachen last summer. “That really is an incredible honour,” commented Jessica von Bredow-Werndl, while letting the plate with the horseshoe fall into the ground in Aachen, framed by her brother Benjamin Werndl and the horse’s owner, Beatrice Bürchler-Keller. “Knowing that Dalera is eternalised here in Aachen for ever, is simply fantastic and makes me very proud.” And the ‘Queen’ evidently seemed to be very proud herself too. Because for the first time ever the equine celebrity, TSF Dalera BB, joined the select circle of people present in front of the CHIO Aachen office for the ceremony – and as is befitting for a star posed for the photographers totally relaxed.
