The 5-year old Frida Gold and Sir Heinrich OLD and the 6-year old Damon's Delorange won the Bundeschampionate qualifier held in Lienen, Germany, on 10 - 12 May 2013. Despite a huge field of competitors only three 5-year olds obtained the necessary scores to qualify for Warendorf. In the 6-year old division six scored 8.0 or higher to make it to the Bundeschampionate.
The 5-year old division was split into two groups, one had 8 horses, the other 28. Both BuCha qualifiers were judged by Lieselotte Ebrecht, Peter Engel and Harry Lorenz.
Group 1 winner was Eva Möller on the Oldenburg mare Frida Gold (by Fidertanz x De Niro). She achieved the high score of the day: 8.7 to win the L-level test ahead of Danish Katrine Kraglund aboard the Oldenburg stallion Swing King (by Sandro Hit x Don Gregory). This duo earned 8.0 and qualified for Warendorf.
In the second group of 5-year olds Anja Wilimzig and the chestnut Oldenburg stallion Sir Heinrich (by Sir Donnerhall I x Furst Heinrich) got 8.2 from the judges and topped the leader board. Sabine Egbers and the Westfalian gelding Roger Moore (by Rock Forever x Pilot) were second with 7.8
The winner of the 6-year old division was last year's 5-year old Bundeschampion Damon's Delorange (by Damon Hill x Rubin Royal). Under Helen Langehanenberg the liver chestnut mare scored a whopping 9.3; the first 9 score achieved by a youngster this qualification season. Jan Dirk Giesselmann's and his home bred Westfalian mare Haya (by Hotline x D'Accord) finished second with 8.5. Eva Moller and the Russian owned World Champion Sa Coeur (by Sir Donnerhall I x Don Davidoff) completed the top three with an 8.4.
