2009 Bundeschampionate

It was a great show weekend for Dorothee Schneider, who won both Bundeschampionate qualification classes with horses Bel Ami and Florinero at the Ludwigsburg selection trial hosted at the Castle Monrepos in south Germany May 15 - 16, 2009.

Two combinations qualified for the Bundeschampionate in the 5-year old dressage horse division by scoring higher than 8.0. Schneider won the 5-year old Dressage Horse class aboard the Swiss owned Hanoverian stallion Bel Ami (by Brentano II x Metternich). She scored a strong 8.3 and stayed ahead of second placegetter Nicole Casper on Birkhof's Don Diamond (by Diamond Hit). The pair, which is based at Gestut Birkhof in Donzdorf, Germany, received an 8.2 from the judges. Maria Siegle and the Baden Wurttemberg branded Dolce Vita (by Donautanz) placed third on 7.7.

In the 6-year old dressage horse division, Schneider celebrated the victory with Sven Rothenberger's black Hanoverian Florinero (by Furst Heinrich). The pair achieved an impressive 8.7. Nicole Casper was second again, this time aboard Birkhofs Denario (by Denaro) with 7.6. Dorothee Schneider followed in third place with the Hanoverian mare La Noire (by Londonderry) on 7.5
