Horse riding seems to be a common passion in the Rothenberger family. At a young age and with an innate passion for horses, Semmieke Rothenberger has established herself as one of the most talented dressage riders of her generation. Studying psychology at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt, the rider who is combining German rigorousness and elegance, has already won twenty-three medals, including sixteen gold between 2011 and 2019. She was notably rewarded in November 2019 with the Longines FEI Rising Star Award, which highlights athletes between the ages of 14 and 21.
