The look of the week goes to World Dressage Masters veteran and crowd favorite Anja Ploenzke, who delighted the fans in Wellington not only with her spirited freestyle aboard Le Mont d’Or, but also her daring fashion choices.
In-house spectators and the Internet audience alike were abuzz over Anja’s blue Alessandro Albanese tailcoat, with its pink trim and vest points and bold belt.
One of 3 (out of 8) riders to wear a helmet during the kur, Anja’s distinctive helmet is made by Uvex, a German maker of protective headwear for equestrian and road sports. While Anja wears the fp 3 elegance cc, Uvex also made headlines as the company behind the gold helmet famously worn by Isabell Werth last year.
In a sport where forward is everything, it’s not only Anja’s fashion that is leading edge – she finished 2011 leading the WDM rankings as well.
