Early life and competitive career

Janne Friederike Meyer has been involved in riding and equestrian sports since her early childhood. Aged six she had her first own pony called Mücke.[2] From 1993 to 1999 she competed in regional championships in the pony- and junior-category, winning several medals and titels. Her first horse, the Holsteiner gelding Callistro was bred by her father. Meyer herself trained the horse for competition. At Schenefeld near Hamburg, Meyer runs her own riding stable. Her coach is Tjark Nagel. She has been coached as well by Carsten-Otto Nagel and Axel Wöckener.

Biggest successes

In 2006 and 2011 Meyer won the title at the National Championships in the Women’s category. She also placed 3rd in the Men's category in 2011. She finished the 2008 Riders Tour as second overall.

During the last years Meyer became a regular figure in German Nations Cup teams. July 2010 saw her first appearance in a Nations Cup team at the CHIO Aachen. Immediately afterwards she was promoted to the German national squad A for show jumping riders.[3]

For the 2010 FEI World Equestrian Games Meyer was nominated originally as a substitute. Because of an injury of another horse she could participate in both the team and individual event. With just four penalty points in the first round and a flawless second round, Meyer could contribute to the success of the German team winning the gold medal.[4]

Her biggest individual success so far was her victory in the Grand Prix of Aachen at the 2011 CHIO with Cellagon Lambrasco. Only a day earlier she won the "Best of Champions" class, participation in which is limited to the five highest ranked women and men in the world rankings plus the Olympic, World and European champions, with Holiday by Solitour.

Later in 2011 Meyer (with Cellagon Lambrasco) was part of the German team that won the Gold medal at the FEI European Jumping Championships in Madrid.[5]
