2010 Bundeschampionate Qualifier
Horatio and Rosandro put down impressive winning performances at the Bundeschampionate qualifier in Munich, held co-incidingly with the World Dressage Masters CDI on 14 - 16 May 2010.
Dorothee Schneider and Sven Rothenberger's Hanoverian Horatio scored 8.5 to claim victory in the 5-year old Dressage Horse division. The Hochadel x Matcho AA gelding received solid 8.5 marks for his basic gaits and 9.0 for general impression. The pair beat Victoria Michalke on Wasabi, an Oldenburg bred Welt Hit IV x Lancer I offspring. They finished with an 8.3 score and 2nd place. Schneider ranked third with Rothenberger's Sir Rubin (by Sir Donnerhall x Rubinstein) on 8.2. The combination tied with Kira Wulferding astride the Oldenburg Elite Mare Champion Weihegold (by Don Schufro x Sandro Hit).
Wulferding won the 6-year old division on Sissy Max-Theurer's Oldenburg licensed stallion Rosandro (by Rosario x Sandro Hit). The elegant pair achieved 8.80 and fended off all competition. Nicole Casper and the South German Licensing Champion Don Diamond (by Diamond Hit) slotted in second with 8.4, while Jessica Werndl and Redford (by Rosentau x Escudo) finished third with 8.2.

Canadian Belinda Trussell on Anton (by Anteus). Nice piaffe and passage but there could have been a bit more power. The combination lacked some straightness in the two-tempi's. The half passes were great

Beautiful ride by Anne van Olst with lots of highlights but she did not show any piaffe!! Did I miscount? I didn't see them do more than 2/3 steps on any of the three spots in the test and the judges kept scoring the movement up to a 6? Dyscalculia ?

Rising high. Very unfortunate and surprising resistance in the piaffe. The test was otherwise quite nice.

Adelinde Cornelissen on her sponsor's horse Jerich Wunschtraum. Piaffe was not on the spot and the two tempi's were croup high and lacking straightness. They seem to need a little more time to become a combination

Canadian Wendy Christoff on Pfalstaff: this pair showed one of the best rein backs of all. The passage was not regular enough and in the one tempi's the Hanoverian took off. Pity

Belgian Philippe Jorissen on the Oldenburg Le Beau. Lovely horse but towards the end of each exercise the horse gets stressed and seems to lose total confidence in his rider. Le Beau has big suspension in the passage. The quality is definitely there!

We haven't seen Anky have this much fun in a long time. Her reining clinic in Lingen was entertaining and educational. She told the crowds that in reining a halt has to be immobile: 4 steps back and you're eliminated from the test. Try that for dressage?!
