2017 Bundeschampionate Qualifier

The 5-year olds AC-DC became the winner of the Bundeschampionate qualification class for 5-year olds held at the 2017 CDIO-PJYR Hagen "Future Champions" competition at Hof Kasselmann on Tuesday 13 June 2017.  A whopping amount of no less than 12 horses in a field of 27 achieved the qualification criterium of 8.0 or higher for Warendorf, which is very high for any qualifier in Germany.

The judges of the L-level dressage horse test in Hagen were Ulrike Nivelle, Michael Wassmann, and Torleif Siegl.

Hof Kasselmann's former working student Sina Aringer rode Wolfgang Stritzke's Westfalian stallion AC-DC (by Apache x Florestan) to victory with a resounding total score of 8.6. The stallion scored 8 for walk, 8.5 for trot, 9 for canter and submission and 8.5 for general impression. Aringer kept all competition well at bay as she referred Eva Möller on the Albers family's Wesfalian mare Balai (by Belissimo M x Florestan) to a second place with 8.4. The mare earned 8.5 for walk and trot, 8 for canter, and 8.5 for submission and general impression. 

Nicole Wego and Georg Dobelmann's Westfalian mare Santa Maria (by Sandro Hit x Ehrenwort) was third with 8.30. The mare got 7.5 for walk, and 8.5 for trot, canter, submission and general impression.

Two combinations tied in fourth place with 8.2.: Marita Pundsack on the Belgian owned QC First Look (by Franziskus x Samarant) and Norwegian Isabel Freese on Paul Schockemohle's Oldenburg stallion Top Gear (by Totilas x Don Frederico). QC First Look got 8 for walk, 9 for trot, 8.5 for canter, 7 for submission and 8.5 for general impression. Top Gear earned 8 for walk, 9 for trot, 9.5 for canter, 6.5 for submission and 8 for general impression.
