Tessa Frank made her Secret/Dancier son Siempre Conmigo (breeder: Gisela and Dr Richard Brunner, Weilserswist) dance around the dressage arena in the five-year-old class and took the title "Hannoveraner Champion of five-year-old dressage horses" in the final after winning the qualifier. The absolute highlight: the canter. Second place went to Escaneno by Escamillo/Veneno (breeder: Tobias Schult, Hünxe) with Jacob Schenk in the saddle. For the stallion from Klosterhof Medingen, who is very popular with breeders, this is only the third competition start of his still young career. Completing the podium in third place was the Celle state stud stallion Eventyr by Escolar/Lauries Crusador xx (breeder: Zuchthof Dree Böken KG, Prieros), who Wolfhard Witte routinely guided through the medium (M) level dressage horse test.
In the final of the six-year-old dressage horses, the highest score of the Verden Championships was awarded: 9.2 for the incredibly powerful and uphill canter of the Benicio/Scuderia son BeSure (breeder: Ludwig Fuchs, Meinerzhagen). The athletic bay was effectively staged by Eva Möller and thus won his first title. Last year, the former premium stallion competed for Denmark at the World Championships for young dressage horses and finished eleventh. Emmy Lou by Escolar/Fürst Heinrich (breeder: Friedhelm Tito, Horn-Bad Meinberg) and Kira Laura Soddemann had qualified for the final in fifth place. When it came down to it, they went "one better" and became Vice Champion. The expressive liver chestnut stallion Sky by Sezuan/Sir Donnerhall (breeder: Gestüt Neff, Frankenberg) joined Hannah Laser in bronze. He left the Verden stallion sales as premium stallion and top prize horse heading for Schleswig-Holstein to Gut Schönweide. More could have been possible, the canter changes were not successful and Sky ended up in third place.
The seven and eight-year-old dressage horses competed in the St. Georg Special. Hann.Pr.A. For Future W by Fürst Belissaro/Silberschmied (breeder: Oliver Wauro, Helvesiek) and Claire-Louise Averkorn left the arena of the Hannoveraner Championships with the winner's sash. She comes from the dam line of Oböe, which is also the dam line of Mattihas Alexander Rath's Sterntaler UNICEF and Frederic Wandres' World Champion Zucchero, and was the best qualifier in the final. The runner-up was Sezuana by Sezuan/Belissimo M (breeder: Fun-Dressage GbR, Bad Homburg) with rider Sandra Kötter. Third place went to the Flanell/Donnerhall son Feu D'Amour (breeder: Burkhard Wahler, Bad Bevensen), presented by Moritz Gehrmann.
