At the big Westfalian regional show in Hille, Germany, on 6-7 June 2015, Bundeschampionate qualification classes were held for 5 and 6-year old dressage horses. The winners were the 5-year olds Follow Me, Sofie FH and Escorial, and the 6-year old Soiree d'Amour. They aced the qualification classes and obtained tickets to the 2015 Bundeschampionate Finals in Warendorf the first week of September.
The 5-year old division was split up into two groups. The 5-year old Oldenburg licensing champion Follow Me (by Furstenball x Donnerschwee) reigned supreme with an unbeatable overall score of 8.4 in group 1. Under Lodbergen's head rider, Swedish Therese Nilshagen, the dark bay stallion scored 8.5 for trot and canter, 9 for walk, 7.5 for submission and 8.5 for general impression. Annika Korte and the Oldenburg stallion Furst Larino (by Furst Romancier x Don Larino) slotted in second with 7.6. This pair for 7 for trot and canter, 8 for walk, 7 for submission and 7.5 for general impression. Frederic Wandres and Hof Kasselmann's Hanoverian mare Friedegund (by Floriscount x Fabriano) tied in second place with an 8.5 for trot, 8 for walk, 7.5 for canter, 6.5 for submission and 7.5 for general impression.
Two winners tied in first place in group 2: Marcus Hermes aboard Freiburger Hof's Westfalian mare Sofie FH (by Sir Donnerhall x Weltgeist) and Danica Duen on Gut Neuenhof's Westfalian stallion Escorial (by Estobar x Furst Piccolo). They both scored 8.0. Sofie FH got 9 for trot, 7 for walk, 7.5 for canter, 8.5 for submission and 8 for general impression. Escorial earned 8 for trot and canter, 8.5 for walk, 7 for submission and 8.5 for general impression.
The 6-year old M-level division was judged by Katja Westendarp, Klaus Harms and Susanne Wiete. Kira Wulferding and Birgit Kalvelage's black Oldenburg mare Soiree d'Amour (by San Amour x Latimer) led the ranking with an 8.5 total score. The elegant Trakehner crossbred mare scored 9 for trot, 8.5 for walk and canter, 8 for submission and 8.5 for general impression. Norwegian Isabel Bache is the third rider this spring show season to compete Paul Schockemohle's Oldenburg mare Fasine (by Furst Romancier x Sir Donnerhall).
