The DeLorean/Akinos-son Don Horatio (breeder: Vera Fürst, Flensburg) and Leonie Ottmar won the Blue winner's sash in the U25 Dressage Derby in Hamburg. "Winning here in Hamburg is a dream come true," said the 23-year-old. "No, I haven't even dreamed of it yet, it's more than a dream!" She had only been to a show for the first time in February with the eight-year-old Don Horatio, who is still owned by her trainer, who is also his breeder. "But he is cool and purred through the test here in Hamburg like an old hand," said Leonie Ottmar enthusiastically.
