Pr. aspirant Hoheit by Hochadel/Wolkenstein<br />
I (breeder: Andreas and Kerstin Wichers, Cuxhaven;<br />
owner: Nicole and Friedrich Sievers,<br />
Gifhorn) received <strong>the</strong> Ib-prize. This filly impressed<br />
with her radiance and her strong and<br />
secure rhythm from which she easily developed<br />
her trot movement.<br />
Ano<strong>the</strong>r Soliman de Hus-daughter was in <strong>the</strong><br />
lead in <strong>the</strong> second division. Karl-Heinz Meyer<br />
from Walsrode bred her out of Dawina by Davignon.<br />
<strong>The</strong> filly’s strong type resembled her<br />
sire’s type. Yet ano<strong>the</strong>r Soliman de Husdaughter<br />
out of a De Niro-dam (breeder/owner:<br />
Peter-Hermann Rabeler, Winsen/Luhe)<br />
followed in second place. Both fillies exhibited<br />
strong riding horse qualities. <strong>The</strong> stallion<br />
Soliman de Hus certainly made a statement<br />
as <strong>the</strong> sire of two division champions and<br />
two additional high-placed fillies. It was interesting<br />
that two of his daughters carried <strong>the</strong><br />
blood of Donnerhall on <strong>the</strong> dam side of <strong>the</strong><br />
pedigree just as he does. All his daughters<br />
are typy and light which reflects his refining<br />
influence.<br />
<strong>The</strong> four-year old dressage mares were also<br />
divided into two groups. St. Pr. aspirant Rihanna<br />
by Romanov Blue Hors/Rotspon (breeder/owner:<br />
Heinrich Bohm, Gilten) won <strong>the</strong><br />
first division. She delivered an impressive<br />
performance. <strong>The</strong> generous development of<br />
her impulsion in <strong>the</strong> trot coincided with a<br />
very good uphill tendency. St. Pr. aspirant<br />
Donna Dancier by Dancier/Tycoon (breeder/<br />
owner: Geert Brenninkmeyer, Hamburg)<br />
closely followed as reserve champion. Her<br />
expressive face and her profile clearly reflec-<br />

Breeding highlights<br />
<strong>The</strong> class for halfbred mares is one of <strong>the</strong><br />
breeding highlights on larger mare shows.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re was only one group for two- to six-year<br />
olds due to <strong>the</strong> small numbers. St. Pr. mare<br />
Santina by Sunlight xx/Wanderer (breeder:<br />
Gerhard Westermann; exhibitor: Jürgen Westermann,<br />
Salzhausen) became class champion.<br />
<strong>The</strong> high quality of her walk was impressive<br />
in addition to her powerful trot<br />
movement. <strong>The</strong> youngest filly of <strong>the</strong> group<br />
became reserve champion. A two-year old<br />
daughter of Lauries Crusador xx/Donnerhall<br />
(breeder/owner: Dr. Bianca Helmcke, Jameln)<br />
exactly embodies <strong>the</strong> mare model that we<br />
love to see in a halfbred mare. St. Pr. aspirant<br />
Wedemark’s Diva by Weltmeyer/Golfclub<br />
(breeder/owner: Helmut Bässmann) won <strong>the</strong><br />
division for five- and six-year old dressage<br />
mares. St. Pr. mare Frühlingsmelodie by Florestan/De<br />
Niro (breeder: Peter Junge, Echem)<br />
followed in second place. <strong>The</strong> solid connection<br />
in her back was impressive and allowed<br />
her to develop powerful movement. <strong>The</strong> disciplines<br />
of dressage and jumping were again<br />
combined in <strong>the</strong> division for seven-to nineyear<br />
olds. Two dressage mares took <strong>the</strong> lead<br />
here. St. Pr. mare Dornröschen by Don Frederico/Weltruhm<br />
(breeder: Ernst Paulus, Tespe;<br />
owner: Dr. Ernst-Dietrich Paulus, Tespe)<br />
received <strong>the</strong> Ia-prize.<br />
This active broodmare confirmed <strong>the</strong> quality<br />
of her type and her movement. St. Pr. mare<br />
Lilli M by Lauries Crusador xx/Sherlock Holmes<br />
(breeder/exhibitor: Claudia Mohlfeld,<br />
Bomlitz) followed in second place. Fully ma-<br />
tured she also impressed as a halfbred mare<br />
with high quality of movement.<br />
Twelve mares participated in <strong>the</strong> division for<br />
ten-year old and older mares which is a respectable<br />
number. <strong>The</strong> strong influence of<br />
Donnerhall also became apparent in <strong>the</strong> older<br />
mares. <strong>The</strong> champion and <strong>the</strong> reserve<br />
champion were Donnerhall daughters. St. Pr.<br />
mare Daylight by Donnerhall/Warkant (breeder:<br />
Joachim Schwarze, Obernkirchen; exhibitor:<br />
Thorsten Hogrefe, Stöcken) was awarded<br />
<strong>the</strong> Ia-prize. This thirteen-year old mare delivered<br />
an energetic presentation with great<br />
dynamics and first and foremost with a very<br />
productive walk. St. Pr. mare De Luxe by Donnerhall/Weltmeyer<br />
(breeder/exhibitor: Dr. Bianca<br />
Helmcke, Jameln) followed in second<br />
place. She is ano<strong>the</strong>r valuable Donnerhall<br />
daughter because of her strong back and her<br />
good construction. Only one mare participated<br />
in <strong>the</strong> honorary class: St. Pr. mare Wild<br />
Card by Warkant/Wer<strong>the</strong>r bred by Joachim<br />
Schwarze, Obernkirchen and exhibited by<br />
Thorsten Hogrefe, Stöcken. <strong>The</strong> now eighteen-year<br />
old impressed with her energetic<br />
appearance and her powerfulm and rhythmical<br />
movement.<br />
Two-year old class champion by Benetton<br />
Dream/Stedinger stood her ground amidst<br />
<strong>the</strong> two- and three-year olds on <strong>the</strong> final<br />
rings of <strong>the</strong> individual age groups. This mare<br />
was able to impress once again and in an admirable<br />
style in <strong>the</strong> afternoon after a very<br />
long day which indicates a very good attitude.<br />
<strong>The</strong> overall victory in <strong>the</strong> four- to sixyear<br />
old division went to St. Pr. aspirant Donna<br />
Dancier. <strong>The</strong> oldest mare in <strong>the</strong> show, St.<br />
Pr. mare Wild Card received a round of applause<br />
when she – in <strong>the</strong> individual mare
