Reem Acra FEI World Cup Dressage Final winner and Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games gold medalist Damon Hill NRW returns to the competition ring on April 18. But he’s not entered at the Grand Prix level, according to Germany’s St. Georg.
The stallion, formerly ridden at the top levels by Germany’s Helen Langehanenberg, will contest FEI Young Rider tests at a Vechta, Germany, show with Jil-Marielle Becks aboard.
Langehanenberg lost the ride on Damon Hill NRW, a 15-year-old Westphalian stallion (Donnerhall—Romanze, Rubinstein I), due to disputes with the horse’s owner, Christian Becks, late last year.

Jil-Marielle, 17 and the daughter of Christian, first presented the stallion at the Equitana Equestrian Sports World Fair in Essen, Germany, in March.
