2017 Spanish Young Horse Championships

The 4-year old Farron de Amtuna, the 5-year old Columbus TR, the 6-year old Santos OLD, and the 7-year old Fifth Avenue were the winners of the 2017 Spanish Young Horse Championships held at the Equestrian Centre Castilla y Leon in Segovia, Spain. Euclides MOR won the Developing Prix St Georges Horse Championship.

In the 4-year old division Jordi Cabre Munoz steered the Hanoverian bred Farron de Amtuna (by Foundation) to victory after winning the preliminary round (82.6) and the Finals round (83.2). The stallion is bred by Herbert Werth from Moers, Germany and owned by Andrea Martinez. The silver went to Ruben Arrabe Sanchez on the Hanoverian gelding Lemen's Star (by Lemony's Nicket). They scored 80.00 and 77.60% for an overall second place. The chestnut is bred by breeder's group Demuth in Germany and sold to Spain for 23,000 euro at the 2017 Hanoverian Winter Auction in January. Juan de Dios Ramirez Garcia and Yeguade Cuevas Bajas' Hanoverian bred Quarlito (by Quaterhall x Rotspon) placed third after scoring 75.00 and 76.00. Quarlito is bred by Werner Rademacher in Germany and was sourced by Cuevas Bajas at Helmut von Fircks' Gestut Nympenburg. It is interesting to note that no less than 10 out of 18 finalist horses are Hanoverian bred!

Juan Manuel Acosta on Columbus TR In the 5-year old division the horses had to compete in three rounds with the 18 highest scoring horses eligible for the final round. Juan Manuel Acosta Ponce and the Hanoverian bred Columbus TR (by Conen x Lauries Crusador xx x Weltmeyer)) extended their title from last year and won gold with 83.8, 83.6, and 83.60 points. Guillermo Garcia Ayala and the PRE bred Poeta de Sasueta (by Cacique IX) earned silver with 79.6, 79.8, and 78.00. Juan Francisco Fernandez Munoz and the Hanoverian gelding Leonardo (by Londontime) slotted in third overall. He scored 79.3, 78.8, and 77.00 points. Leonardo had Marcal Sabe Canellas on the Hanoverian Bolek on his heels but he persevered in the end and got bronze with less than one point advantage.

Cristobal Belmonte on Santos OLD In the 6-year old division Spanish Grand Prix team rider Cristobal Belmonte steered the Oldenburg bred Santos OLD (by Sancisco x Levantos I x Pik Ramiro) to gold. Belmonte acquired Santos at the 2015 Oldenburg Winter Mixed Sales in Vechta for 71,000 euro. The pair was second in the first round with 79.80, third in the second round with 79.0 and they won the finals with 84.80 points. Sergio Marti Perez and the Hanoverian bred Dilara (by ) finished with silver after winning round 1 (81.20) and 2 (80.40) and placing third in the finals with 80.00 points. Alberto Garcia Martin and the Spanish Sport Horse bred Delirio PT (by Delinger) finished with bronze on 79.0, 79.8, and 80.4.
