The busy summer show season for the British Hanoverian Horse Society (BHHS) was concluded on 3 - 4 September 2021 with the 2021 Annual Championship Show at Hartpury, Gloucestershire, UK.
The BHHS Committee was joined by Dr Ludwig Christmann of the Hannoveraner Verband for what was a very successful event especially following the difficulties of the previous year and the cancellation of the 2020 Show.
The Hanoverian foal Le Chef (by the KWPN sire Le Formidable and out of a Zack x Londonderry dam) was named this year’s Supreme (Overall) Champion. He is bred by Carsten Sandrock and owned by Lynne Crowden and Carsten Sandrock
The overall reserve Champion was Flower Girl RMD (by Floriscount x Don Schufro x Sandro Hit), bred and owned by Rosie Moreton-Deakin and presented by Court Farm Stud.
Katy Holder-Vale Chairman of the British Hanoverian said “ A great show and very interesting to have the feedback from Dr Christmann, proud to show him some of our best British bred Hanoverian horses.”
