At the 2006 Westfalian Regional Dressage Championships in Steinhagen, Germany, two Bundeschampionate qualifier classes were held. With thirty-one 5-year olds and nine 6-year olds, the field of competitors was massive.
Don Bailey and Rob Roy were the winners of the Dressage Horse tests that counted as qualifier for the Bundeschampionate.
Ulf Möller won the 5-year old Dressage Horse division with the black Oldenburg stallion Don Bailey (Donnerhall x Pik Bube I). Even though Möller announced last year that he would retire from actively competing young horses, Möller has been in the saddle at shows the entire 2006 Bundeschampionate qualifier season with several horses. Aboard Don Bailey, he won the class with an 8.8 score, which is one of the highest marks of the season. Dutch Grand Prix rider Edward Gal travelled to Germany to qualify the German owned Oldenburg stallion Serano Gold (by Sandro Hit). With an 8.6 mark, Gal placed second and beat Insa Hansen on Do It Again (Dormello x Rubinstein). Hansen tied in third place with Jan Steiner and Peking (Polytraum x Paradox) on an 8.0 score.
The 6-year old Dressage Horse division Marlies Brakemper reigned supreme aboard Rob Roy, a Westfalian grey gelding by Royal Diamond x Rex Fritz. She scored 8.1. Ulf Möller placed second on the Oldenburg stallion Lord Optimist (Lord Sinclair x Cagliostro) with 8.0. Brigitte Wittig tied on second place aboard Biagotti W (by Breitling x Diego).
