Every year, - this year already for the 20th time - this award is given by the Deutsches Olympiade-Komitee für Reiterei (DOKR) to the rider, the trainer and the owner of a not more than ten year old dressage horse which has been placed for the first time in high ranking Grand Prix de Dressage on the 1st to 5th position in the course of this year. The Otto-Lörke-Preis was initiated by Liselott Rheinberger, the Olympic winner, who died in 1999.
Isabell Werth will be honoured
as a rider for the seventh time this year, for Wolfram Wittig and Madeleine
Winter-Schulze, it will be the first award as a trainer and an owner. Satchmo,
the 9-year old gelding, won in the Grand Prix und Grand Prix Special against
great competitors five times in 2003 (e.g. the European team championship
in Hickstead) and was highly placed several times. For him, the title is
worth a ton of oats.
