Bugatti G, Darko of De Niro and Del Cuore have won the 2009 Swiss Young Horse Championships held at the Swiss National Equestrian Centre in Avenches, Switzerland, September 17-20, 2009.
In the 4-year old division Markus Graf steered his own liver chestnut stallion Bugatti G (by Belissimo M out of Isa Romana W (by Rohdiamant) to the national title. The young stallion, which is bred by Christoph Suter, excelled in both championship rounds, winning the first class with 8.13 and the second with 7.70. His overall total of 7.91 was plenty to put him in a strong lead. Michele Rotondo's chestnut gelding Dimitri Florinov (by Florestan x Donnerprinz) finished in runner up position with a total average of 7.65. This horse is bred by Brigitte Bisig and was presented by Gilles Ngovan.
Isabel Jüstrich and the impressive black gelding Darko of De Niro (by De Niro out of Diana (by Gagneur x Isidore) strutted his stuff to win the 5-year old division. Bred and owned by Thomas and Mauz Zellweger, Darko scored 8.08 in round 1 and 7.62 in round 2 to finish on a total of 7.85. The winners' pair was chased to the end by Gilles Ngovan aboard Christine Ernst's chestnut mare Fee VI (by Feinsin x Davignon). Bred by Otto Kocherhans, Fee VI finished second twice to land in the reserve champion's spot with 7.81.
The 6-year old dressage horses were not judged like the 4- and 5-year olds on their gaits, rideability and general impression, but had to perform a technical test. Gilles Ngovan and Christine Ernst's Del Cuore (by Dr. Doolittle x Weltmeyer) were unbeatable. They scored 69,67 in the first round and 73.02 in the second to finish on 71.34. Del Cuero is bred by Michael and Meret Eser-Wehrli. Markus Graf became the reserve champion with the bay stallion Ravel G (by Rubinels x Rohdiamant). Bred by Albin Fuchs-Schönbächler, this stallion scored 66.89 in round 1 and 66.56 in round 2 to place second with a 66.73 total.
