Instead the stallion was competed, first by Melanie Gensig and Lily Bendig in 2016 while in the spring of 2017 Nele Marie Lieberknecht took over. 

At the 2018 Bundeschampionate the pair was 5th in the 5-year old dressage pony finals. In 2019 they returned to Warendorf and were 7th in the 6-year old finals.

They were named first reserves for the team for the 2022 European Pony Championships. They finished their season placing 6th at the 2022 German Pony Championships.

Rosa Duong

TI Daily Challenge has now been sold to the Duong family for 11-year old Rosa to ride.
