Other sports:

She has competed in equestrian jumping and won gold in the team event at the 2013 European Junior Championships in Vejer de la Frontera, Spain. (SportsDeskOnline, 30 Aug 2018; achleiten.equitaris.info, 09 Jun 2018)

Start:

She took part in her first showjumping competition at age eight. Three years later she began competing in dressage. (estellewettstein.ch, 01 Jan 2021)

Reason:

"Dressage requires a higher degree of precision, elegance and perfection. I also like the challenge of setting creative and artistic accents. When jumping, more skill is required, and maybe also a portion of daredevil. I was very lucky [growing up] that there were always great ponies and horses available for both disciplines." (estellewettstein.ch, 01 Jan 2021)

Ambition:

To win a medal at the Olympic Games. (estellewettstein.ch, 01 Jan 2021)

Hero:

British dressage rider Carl Hester, French jumping rider Kevin Staut. (wettstein-pferde.ch, 13 Aug 2018)

General
STABLES
She and her parents run the Team Wettstein stables in Wermatswil, Switzerland. (wettstein-pferde.ch, 09 Dec 2020; pferdewoche.ch, 27 Mar 2018)

JUMPING
She has competed in both equestrian jumping and dressage. "I've learned a lot from the various ponies and horses in jumping and dressage, with them I was able to gain a lot of experience. It also trained me in dealing with all possible characters and individual units of the animals. It was always very clear to me that I wanted to do both. Even today [speaking in 2021], when I'm heading more towards dressage, if I have an opportunity to do more jumping, I won't say no because I can't say which of these two disciplines I prefer."
