Sophie Hinner brought three top prospects through to the second round of the eight five-year-olds with the highest scores. Behind her Holsteiner Cadoc (9.3), the Aachen team world champion also claimed second place with her Emerald van het Ruytershof/Ludwig von Bayern son Elton (breeder: Jens Löhden, Heeslingen), just one-tenth of a point behind (9.2). In the second round, the scopey Stakkato Prize winner improved to 9.4 and, with this outstanding performance, became reserve Bundeschampion. A wonderful success for breeder Jens Löhden. Just four weeks earlier, Cloudy White JL from the same dam line had been crowned Hanoverian Champion of six-year-old Show Jumping Horses in Elmlohe.
