The 5-year old Balandro and the 6-year old Diamante Negro were the winners of the two Bundeschampionate qualification classes held at the regional show in Schwanewede on 23 April 2022.
5-YO: Balandro
Twenty-three horses competed in the L-level dressage horse test for 5-year olds, but only 19 were ranked with 4 retired.
Shereena Satzer and the Spanish owned Oldenburg stallion Balandro (by Benicio x Scolari) topped the board with an 8.1 total score. Judges Claudia Koopmeiners, Anna von Holten, and hermann Steffens rewarded the bay stallion with 7.5 for walk, 8.5 for trot and canter, 7.5 for submission and 8.5 for general impression.
"It was the first outdoor show and his first dressage horse L-test of the season," Satzer explained. "Benni was still a bit shy and held himself, but we achieved the BuCha qualification and got us a first place."
Two horses tied in second place with an 8.0 total score: Leonie Richter on Helgstrand's Westfalian stallion In My Mind (by Ibiza x Fidermark) and Laura Strobel on Max-Theurer's Westfalian stallion Alvarinho GV (by August der Starke x Jazz). In My Mind got 7 for walk, 8.5 for trot and canter, 7.5 for submission and 8.5 for general impression, while Alvarinho GV earned 7.5 for walk, 8.5 for trot, and 8 for canter, submission and general impression.
6-YO: Diamante Negro
Eleven horses contested the M-level division for 6-year olds, which was won by Silvia Busch-Kuffner on Janna Alpers' DSP gelding Diamante Negro (by DeLorean x Furst Romancier). The pair scored 8.1 in total with 8 for walk and canter, 8.5 for trot, 7.5 for submission and 8.5 for general impression.
French Kim Brüning and Felix-Ferdinand Becker's Hanoverian stallion Liam Neeson (by Libertad x Sir Oldenburg) landed second place with 8.0. The chestnut received 8 for walk and canter, 8.5 for trot, 7.5 for submission and 8 for general impression from judges Steffens, Von Holten and Koopmeiners.
