The Hannoveraner champions for dressage and showjumping horses were crowned have been crowned. The best young dressage horses are Fürst GG, Jupiter BC, and Titania K, while jumping honours went to Dias, Copa Cabana, Quick Lady and Diarello FRH.
The seven- and eight-year-old dressage horses kicked off the final competitions on Friday. Last to go, Titania K (Top Gear x Prestige Pilot: bred by Willem Klausing GbR, Diepholz) under the saddle of Leonie Richter entered the arena victorious from the preliminary round, confirmed her performance once again and took the title. Alissimo (Asgard’s Ibiza x Belissimo M: Dorothee Heitmüller, Nienburg) and Franziska Haase claimed silver. Royal Black Diamond (Rotspon x Laurentio: Ralf Zierke, Braunschweig) with Jessica Lynn Thomas took the bronze medal.
One day later, Leonie Richter celebrated her second title at the Hannoveraner Championships, this time riding the six-year-old Jupiter BC (Jovian x Fürst Romancier: Gestüt Greim, Bärnau).

To the cheers of the crowd, showjumper Diarello FRH (Diamant de Semilly x Cascadello: Stefan Aust, Armstorf) and Tim-Uwe Hoffmann deservedly won the seven-year-old title.
