DOBBLE WIN FOR HANNOVER-SOUTH
Team Hannover-south had two reasons to celebrate during the Indoor competition in Vechta. Firstly the team under the direction of Fritz Fricke won the team competition once again and secondly it was the 25th anniversary win for Hannover-South. The advanced medium level Team competition for the regions had its birth in November 2002. It is held a a few special venues throughout the year.
In Vechta Astrid Smolinski had to jump in at the last minute to complete the four member team. Astrid took over the very experienced and reliable DACCORD. Leonie saddled up HALFMOON DELICATO for the first time and managed an impressive performance with the new comer. Rounding things off were Iris Scheminowski with GROSSO`S GRANIT and Wolfhard Witte with RASCALINO. All in all good team work!!!!
At the German Classics one week later Hannover-South was back in its original composition, Thomas Scholz with RUBIANUS, Iris Scheminowski with GROSSO:S GRANIT, Wolfhard Witte with RASCALINO and Leonie with DACCORD. They gave one of their cleanest performances to date and were rewarded with yet another win.
Good Mare Test for ROYAL PUR
The Hannoverian Mare ROYAL PUR (Royal Blend - Western Star) completed a good mare testing in Soltau. With good basic gait scores and ridability she was especially rewarded for her presentation under the riders.
BOTICELLO lives no more
Sad news from Sweden reached us a few days ago. BOTICELLO had been a successful competitor in the Young Rider tour over the last years with his Swedish owner/rider. With Leonie, BOTICELLO was very competitive, he won 25 advanced level classes and additionally took many high placings . As a 6 year old Leonie competed him at the Bundeschampionate and was a finalist with BOTICELLO at the World Championships for young horses in Verden. With Leonie he also qualified for the Nürnberger Burgpokal and they were the winners of several regional championships as well as medal winners at the Provincial Championships.
