With a perfect score of 10 for his walk, the Von Und Zu/For Romance son Varido (breeder: Friederike Pelzer, Lüsche), ridden by Janina Tietze, won the Hanoverian Championship for three-year-old stallions. The chestnut stallion left little to be desired, earned a final score of 9.30, and brought his breeder, Friederike Pelzer, yet another major success. Two weeks ago, Varido’s full sister had won her class at the Hanoverian Foal Championship. The owners, IB Berger GmbH, were also delighted with yet another outstanding success so soon after Hann.Pr.St. Beautiful Vibe’s victory at the Herwart von der Decken Show and silver medal at the Hanoverian Championship for three-year-old mares and geldings.
Runner-up was Éclair by Energy/Sandro Hit (breeder: Katharina Lindena-Janssen, Ihlow) from the dam line of Olympic champion Desperados FRH. Jessica Lynn Thomas presented him perfectly, and the black stallion received a score of 9.5 for rideability. Bronze went to the For Fantano/Floris Prince son Flacon (breeder: Michael Schenk, Niendorf), who was expertly presented by the breeder’s son, Jacob Schenk.
