The 12-year-old mare DSP Alice (Askari x Landebell), owned by her rider Simone Blum (GER), was awarded with the prestigious Halla Challenge Trophy as CHIO Aachen came to an end on Sunday.

The Halla Challenge Trophy is awarded to the owner of the most successful horse in the classical jumping competitions at CHIO Aachen. It was founded in 1996 by the late Mr. Hans Günter Winkler. The Halla-Bronze is an everlasting challenge trophy, where each winner will receive a miniature of the trophy in bronze. 

With 30 points, only one point separated DSP Alice from Explosion W (Chacco-Blue x Baloubet du Rouet) – ridden by Ben Maher (GBR) and owned by Poden Farms. Daniel Deusser's (GER) ride Scuderia 1918 Tobago Z (Tangelo vd Zuuthoeve x Mr. Blue), owned by Scuderia 1918 and Stephex Stables, ended third.
