The German Grand Prix B-team has been updated following some good performances and come backs from German riders at the most recent international autumn competitions.
Former Olympic individual rider Anabel Balkenhol is back on the B-team with Dablino (by De Niro) after successfully returning to the show ring after a two-year break due to injury and health issues.
Carola Koppelmann has been submitted to the B-team on the highly talented Deveraux (by Dimensions).
