With Selina Söder, another daughter of Bavaria's head of state is in the limelight.
Her passion is horseback riding, now she was in Munich at an event.
Oldenburg/Munich – flashbulbs are Selina Söder (22), the daughter of Bavaria's Prime Minister Dr.
Markus Söder (55) and Karin Baumüller-Söder (49), used to it - but so far only at riding facilities.
Because Selina Söder is a successful dressage rider, taking third place at the German Championships for U25 dressage riders.
On Tuesday afternoon, she and her friend Raphael Netz (23), also a dressage rider, attended a luncheon hosted by the management agency Magari in the winter chalet at the Brenner Operngrill.
The almost 50 guests of agency boss Daniela Giller should report on the event on their social networks to draw attention to actress Jutta Speidel's (68) horizon association, which takes care of disadvantaged women and children in Munich.

Selina Söder commutes between the north and Bavaria - equestrian sport is her passion
"I think it's really cool that I can be here today," says Selina Söder.
Because the business administration student, who is completing her bachelor's degree at the University of Oldenburg, has rarely been on red carpets.
Unlike her father and half-sister Gloria-Sophie Burkandt (23), the Söder daughter is also holding back on social networks.
"But today I will definitely post something," she says.
Selina Söder does not answer any further questions about her half-sister or the relationship with her boyfriend, who met through riding.
"That's too private." She much prefers to talk about her great passion: horseback riding.
"I've always been a horseman, my whole life.
It's a lot of fun."
Söder's daughter Selina devotes herself to horseback riding - and talks about her parents
For a year and a half she has been supported by the two-time Olympic champion in dressage, Jessica von Bredow-Werndl (36).
“Selina was looking for a horse and tried a horse with us at Gut Aubenhausen.
It didn't work out, but I saw her riding and I thought it could be a really great match for my mare Zaire.” Since then, they've seen each other every day.
"It is a great pleasure to work with her, as a person and as a rider," says von Bredow-Werndl.

Selina Söder still wants to achieve a lot in equestrian sport.
She has the support of her parents.
“My parents are very proud of me.
We're helping each other.
We have a big family bond.”
Meanwhile, Gloria-Sophie Burkandt is taking off as a model.
The Söder daughter is on the cover of Turkish Vogue.
