The 5-year old Funfsterne and the 6-year Stern von Afrika were the star horses in the Bundeschampionate qualification classes held at the regional show at Catharinenhof in Wedel, Germany, on 8 - 9 June 2014. The Wedel show attracted a huge field of competitors with no less than 28 five-year olds and 20 six-year olds.
In the 5-year old L-level division Norwegian Isabel Bache bested the field aboard Ilke Boening's Oldenburg mare Funfsterne (by Dimaggio x Karon). The pair scored a very strong 8.7 total score and fended off Stefan Blkanken on Anne-Kathrin Weldt's Hanoverian mare Best Of (by Belissimo M x Wolkenstein II) who finished second with 8.2. They tied with Kathrin Meyer zu Strohen on her long-time sponsor Detlef Ruddat's Hanoverian mare Sierra Tequila (out of a Conteur dam). This horse, which was previously ridden by Felix Hillmer, also scored 8.2.
In the 6-year old M-level class Frederic Wandres steered Anne Marie Grossmann's Stern von Afrika (by San Amour x Harvard) to victory with an 8.5 total score. Vera Nass and her own Hanoverian mare Fideralala (by Fidertanz x Lauries Crusador xx) were the runners-up with 8.4. Rieke Schnieder and her own Oldenburg mare Sansibar (by Sancisco x Lord Sinclair) completed the top three with an 8.1 score.
