Tenth win for team Hannover-South at German Classics

Team Captain Fritz Fricke had his troops well prepared, leading them to their tenth Team win at the German Classics in the Europehall in Hannover. Iris Scheminowski GROSSO´S GRANIT (by Grosso Z), Thomas Schulz RUBIANUS (by Rubinstein), Wolfhard Witte DANCIER (by De Niro) and Leonie with D'ACCORD DE (by De Niro) demonstrated to the excited viewers yet again how choreographie and music can harmonise together.

Nina Hofmann: A super start in a successful team work

With two very convincing starts in Grand Prix and GP Kur, Swedish rider Nina Hofmann catapulted into the ribbons aboard her 15 year old gelding LEO AF MAGNUSHOJ (by Rohdiamant) during the German Classics in Hannover. As of August 1, Nina and her horses began their training program with us. Leonie was very pleased with her Nina´s rides. The slight nervousness from the Grand Prix vanished on Sunday morning putting Nina and "Leo" in second place with a fantastic Freestyle round and personal best score for them of 76.25%!

Competition in Worpswede

Leonie had a good weekend of showing in Worpswede winning the Advanced Medium with ATHENA RUBELLA (by Abanos) and placing fourth in the same test with the 8 year old LADY LU (by Londonderry). In the Prix st Georges Leonie rode DACCORD (by De Niro) to fifth place and ATHENA RUBELLA was eighth. In the Intermediare I, Leonie rode MARCHENPRINZ (by Münchhausen) and D'ACCORD DE placing fourth and sixth accordingly.

Further success from abroad

During the first of the Australien season comps, FURST TYME (by Fürst Heinrich - Münchhausen), made good advertising for breeding produce. At the Queensland Championships he won both the Novice and Elementry classes with his rider Nicole Tough. This was win number 20 and 21 for the charming bay gelding. Also in the winners circle were Jayden Brown and his tall chestnut gelding FÜRST FRIEDRICH (by Fürst Piccolo). This pair won the P st George, Intermediare I and Inter I Kur. During the NSW Championships,the lovely FIDELITY (by Farewell III) took home reserve Champion with Kate Wilson.

Our self bred BENTLEY (by Belissimo M - Don Gregory) took yet again first place in Austria with his rider Caro Popinger. This was their tenth win of the season! Good news from New Zealand, Ronda´s first daughter SAHARA (by San Remo), became the proud mother of her first foal by LIMONIT (Lancier).
