The 5-year old Montepulciano and the 6-year old Floris Grey became the winners of the Bundeschampionate qualification classes held at the regional show in Bargstedt on 9 - 11 June 2022.
In the 5-year old age category only five pairs lined up to be judged by Gabriele von Appen, Marret Maucher and Anna von Holten-Jungheit. Malte Kalus and Jens Meyer's Oldenburg stallion Montepulciano (by Morricone x Damsey) won the class with 8.1 points. The bay got 8 for walk and trot, 8.5 for canter, 7.5 for submission and 8.5 for general impression. Maxi Kira von Platen and Helgstrand's Oldenburg stallion First Rock Star (by For Romance x Rock Forever) followed in second place with 7.6, not enough for a ticket to Warendorf.
Six combinations were entered for the 6-year old dressage horse test, which was judged by Jurgen Bockmann, Alyona Bilan and Bianca Simon-Schön, and won by Melanie Klein aboard Steffen Brunkhorst's Hanoverian gelding Floris Grey. The Floris Prince x Stedinger gelding scored a winning 8.7 mark with 8.5 for walk and canter, 10 for trot, 7.5 for submission and 9 for general impression. His 10 for trot was the first 10 given this 2022 Bundeschampionate qualification season! Malte Kalus and Gerrit Holzle's Hanoverian mare So Easy (by San Amour x Don Bosco) tied in second place on 8.1 points with Peter Koch and Herbert Schlüter's Hanoverian gelding Furst Friedrich (by Furstenball x Donnerhall).
