The FEI WBFSH dressage World Breeding Championships for Young Horses provided a magnificent setting for the Hannoveraner Riding Horse Championships when the white and yellow winner’s sashes went to Dc-10, Sugar N Spice, Vantastica, and Benjamin Franklin
The Hannoveraner Riding Horse Championships class for three-year-old stallions saw a 10 for trot, 10 for canter, 10 for conformation – it doesn’t get any better than that...

Third place went to Beck’s Londonderry's son Beck’s in Black (breeder: Christan Thelker, Venne) with Africa Algarra Ruiz. He was also part of last year’s high-class lot of dressage stallions at the licensing.

The reserve champion was Lily of the Valley (Livaldon x Fürstenball: breeder: Johannes Hesslink, Emlichheim) with Daniela Graé in the saddle. Both mares had competed at the same venue on Monday at the Herwart von der Decken Show. The bronze medal went to the Santos x Finest daughter Salvina (breeder: Hartwig Bulle, Lüdingworth), who was presented by Leslie Rohrbacher...
