Traditionally, the riding horse championships are one of the highlights in Verden. Sina Aringer managed to present two winners. She won the class of four-year-old mares and geldings with Silent Wings by Secret/Sandro Hit (breeder: Dr. Cord Gaus, Adelheidsdorf). After winning the qualification on Tuesday, the two did not give the competition a chance in the final either with their outstanding quality in the basic gaits. It was a close fight for second and third place, only one tenth of a point separated Bo by Benicio/Londonderry (breeder: Dr. Dirk and Eva-Maria Fey, Wesel) with Ellen Bruun on second place and La Memoria by La Vie/De Kooning (breeder: Kathrin Wassmann, Badbergen) with Hermann Burger in the saddle on third place.
Sina Aringer celebrated her second victory in the championships for three-year-old mares and geldings, this time with Barbor BS by Bonds/Livaldon (breeder: Bernhard Sieverding, Twistringen). The trainer had already won the qualification with her as well. It was less than eight weeks ago that the Hannoveraner premium candidate left the showground in Bruchhausen-Vilsen as the champion mare. The Fürst Romancier/Sandro Hit son Fürst GG (breeder: Gerald Gögele, Bleckede) followed in second place with Hannah Laser. The judges awarded the athletic black stallion a "very good" three times. Dahlia B by Despacito/Floriscount (breeder: Kurt-Heinrich Böttcher, Brüninghorstedt) and Sascha Böhnke also achieved this. The Hannoveraner premium candidate, however, had to accept slight reductions in her walk in comparison and thus finished third.
The class of the three-year-old stallions was dominated by Jacob Schenk. After silver and bronze in the class of six-year-old dressage horses, he took gold and bronze. He became Hannoveraner Champion with the Global Player/Fidertanz son Global Hope (breeder: ZG Werth, Moers). The judges gave the dark bay stallion from Klosterhof Medingen an even "very good" for the five scoring criterias, even a dream score of 10 in the trot. The 22-year-old was hardly behind in third place with the Libertad/Destano son Lindenberg (breeder: ZG Maak, Hamburg). In between, So Special by Secret/Bon Coeur (breeder: Pia Sophie Wahlers, Visselhövede), ridden by Jessica Lynn Thomas, scored a perfect 10 in the canter and went into the lap of honour as Vice Champion. The licensed stallion is the youngest representative of the dam line of Klaseta, which is world-famous through the sire legend Grannus and Frederic Wandres' championship horse Duke of Britain FRH.
The last Hannoveraner Championship was that of the four-year-old stallions. Here Faccinello by Floriscount/Christ (breeder: Jörg Rohaus, Rottach-Egern) took the crown. The bay stallion from the dam line of Schnellkraft was presented by Kira Laura Soddemann and after third place in the qualification, he convinced all along the line in the final. Vice Champion became the Benicio/San Amour son Barnaby (breeder: Ulrich Klindworth, Groß Meckelsen) with Holger Herrmann in the saddle. Third place went to Soho EDI by Secret/Benicio (breeder: Günther Blöthe, Neustadt) and Iris Jansen-Jentgens.
