Pony rider Semmieke Rothenberger, junior rider Johanne Pauline von Danwitz and young rider Juliette Piotrowski won the Sunday classes at the 2013 south German Preis der Besten qualifier held at Ann Kathrin Linsenhoff's yard Schafhof in Kronberg, Germany, on 6 - 7 April 2013. Whereas the pony and the junior riders category were excelling with high quality rides, this year the young riders' division lagged a bit behind in quality.
In the pony division, routinier Semmieke Rothenberger still wielded the axe of power with both of her ponies Golden Girl and Deinhard B, producing top scores in the mid seventies range. Celine König made her experience on pony Dorn count for riding the more gifted Daddy's Daydream to a third place in the individual test with 72.114%.
The junior riders' category featured the revelation of the show, former pony rider Johanne Pauline von Danwitz who excelled aboard Louisa Luttgen's long-time German youth riders' team horse Habitus (by Hohenstein). Von Danwitz and the refined dark bay gelding were fun to watch and produced two elegant rides. In the team test she lost the victory when Habitus made an unscripted leap in the extended canter, but in the individual test both were on the same wavelength and topped the leader board with 72.807%. Jessica Krieg has been relying more and more on her new junior riders' horse Florence which she acquired in the autumn on 2012. The bay mare spent a while in the U.S.A. but returned to Germany and was sold to the Krieg family. The pair finished second in the individual test with 70.721%. They were followed by risising dup Luisa Otto on Aspen (by Aquilino).
The young riders' division lacked highlights even though Juliette Piotrowski produced the winning ride of 71.667% on her black Sir Diamond (by Sandro Hit). The duo could improve on the subtlety of the aids in order to rise in scores. Ulla Salzgeber's student Lisa-Maria Klössinger finished second in the individual test aboard FBW Daktari (by Donautanz x Carpaccio). They earned 71.053% for a smooth test. Vivien Niemann, who spent quite some time in Florida this winter, finished third with her Hanoverian stallion Sil Jander (by Sunlight xx x Davignon x Woermann).
