Brandon, Eloy, and Rassolini were the winners of the Bundeschampionate Qualifier in Bargstedt, Germany, June 12-14, 2009. The 5-year old division was split into two groups which resulted of course in two winners.
Nicole Deinzer and the Hanoverian bred chestnt stallion Brandon won group 1 of the 5-year old Dressage Horse division. The Breitling W x Rohdiamant offspring scored a solid 8.5 to take the lead. Susan Pape-Draper and the Oldenburg branded mare Rhapsodie (by Rubin Royal x Cordeur) finished second with 8.3. Birte Ahlers slotted in third place aboard the Oldenburg gelding Royal Dinaro (by Royal Diamond x De Niro). They achieved 8.1.
Former European Young Rider Champion Christin Schütte won group 2 with the 5-year old Hanoverian stallion Eloy (by Earl x Wendenburg), which was shown last year by Fredeke Trute. The dynamic duo scored 8.4 to top the leader board. Hans-Dieter Mangelsdorf followed in a distance with his Hanoverian gelding Don Quichotte (by Don Frederico x Weltruhm) on 8.2. Norwegian born Isabel Bache posted a score of 8.0 on Bergerac, a Hanoverian stallion by Belissimo M x De Niro, to place third.
Professional dressage rider Kathrin Meyer zu Strohen reigned in the 6-year old Dressage Horse division with the Hessian branded liver chestnut stallion Rassolini (by Rubioso N x Silvano N). The stallion scored a 9 for trot and 8.5 for walk and canter to average 8.5 in total and win the class. Stefan Sandbrink and the black gelding Rubin Noir (by Rubin Royal x Lancier) finished second with 7.6, while Martina Hannöver-Sternberg and the Oldenburg mare Donna Medici (by Don Larino x Rouletto) ranked third with 7.4.
