The Hannoveraner Show Jumping Masters for four-year-olds had two winners: With the same score, Hann.Pr.A. Big Lady ZE by Big Star/Contendro (breeder: Rolf Eggerking, Brinkum) with rider Jessica Freye, who had already been highly awarded at the Herwart von der Decken Show, and Lexion by Lord Pezi Junior/Canstakko (breeder: Bernd Nordmann, Syke) with Roman Duchac shared the victory. The Czech-born rider also rode the third-placed Balou du Rouet/Cassus daughter Brandy Jo PJ (breeder: Pferdezucht Dr. Jacobs GbR, Bierbergen).

The six-year-olds competed in the M** course with an exciting jump-off for the victory. As the first starters, High five by Hickstead White/Cheenook (breeder: Marc Hahne, Kirchlinteln) and Jessica Freye set a time that was not equalled again. The rider thus took the second title of the day. Two years ago, the brown had already been second in the Hannoveraner Show Jumping Masters for four-year-olds. Second place went to the Van Halen Z/Adlantus As son Valantus (breeder: Henning Müller-Rulfs, Ritterhude) with breeder's son Fynn Müller-Rulfs in the saddle. Third place went to Match Point PS by Messenger/Sandro Boy (breeder: Lewitz Stud, Mühlen) and rider Alexa Stais.

In the starting field of 14 competitors in the jump-off of the five-year-olds at M* level, the Crumble/Chasseur son Crumble Cheesecake K (breeder: Martin Klintworth, Ohrensen) and Ole Klintworth prevailed with an impressive round and took the yellow and white winner's sash. Almost four months ago to the day, the two had been third in the Hannoveraner Show Jumping Championships. Silver went to Hann.Pr.A. Baloutina HB by Balou du Rouet/Stakkato (breeder: Heinrich Bremer, Nöpke) and Victoria Kiefer ahead of Stepstone by Stolzenberg/Quintender (breeder: Ulrike Freifrau zu Stietencron, Emmerthal), who thus gave his rider Roman Duchac his third top placing at the Hannoveraner Show Jumping Masters. The bay stallion had found his way into Max Kühner's jumping stable last year at the Verden Elite Auction as the most expensive show jumper.

The last title was awarded to the seven- and eight-year-olds, who competed in an S* jumping competition. The last starters in the jump-off led the lap of honour: Karamell M & M by Kannan/Contendro and Hilmar Meyer. Second place went to the Grey Top/Diarado daughter Grey Diraba with rider Lina Seidel. This meant the double victory for Heinrich Bremer from Nöpke. Not only these two highly talented show jumpers come from his breeding, he already celebrated a great success in the five-year-old class with Hann.Pr.A. Baloutina HB in second place. Grey Diraba's dam is a half-sister of Karamell M & M, Baloutina HB's granddam is also the granddam of Karamell M & M. Third place went to Hann.Pr.St. Candilou PJ by Cristallo/Cassus (breeder: Pferdezucht Dr. Jacobs GbR, Bierbergen) and Roman Duchac, the reigning third place winners of the Hannoveraner Show Jumping Championships in August. Roman Duchac had already ridden her half-sister Brandy Lou to bronze in the four-year-old class.
