Viva las Vegas<\/strong> by Viva Gold\/Foundation (breeder: Reinhard Baumgartner, Wulkau) and Charlott-Maria Sch\u00fcrmann won the Bundeschampionat for six-year-old dressage horses with a brilliant performance. The new Bundeschampion was first discovered at the Verden Online Foal Auction in May 2020.<\/p>\n

Already awarded top marks in the qualifying round, the performance in the final prompted the commentator to exclaim, \u201cWow!\u201d With his dynamism and energy, the dark bay captivated both the judges and the crowd. After receiving 9.3 for his trot, Viva las Vegas scored 9.5 for his canter, which revealed an exceptional degree of elasticity. He also produced four very good flying changes. The overall impression made by this top-class prospect was rated a \u201cvery good\u201d. After finishing ninth at last year\u2019s FEI WBFSH Dressage World Breeding Championships for Young\u00a0 Horses, the stallion now claimed the Bundeschampion\u2019s crown.<\/p>\n

The black gelding Sparky<\/strong> by Secret\/Dr. Watson (breeder: Sabrina Redelmann, Oerel) and Zoe Marie Hachmeier had to take the longer route through the Small Final, which they won. In the final, the pair once again produced a performance of the highest quality, earning the bronze medal. His powerful yet light-footed trot was particularly impressive, as was his relaxed canter combined with exceptional attentiveness and willingness to perform. Zoe Marie Hachmeier was then presented with a special honour: she received the BMLEH Animal Welfare Prize, the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Homeland\u2019s special award for particularly horse-friendly riding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
