In Münster-Handort, the young Celle state stud stallion Venturo impressed in part I of the sport perfomance test dressage. The Valdiviani/Belissimo M son (breeder: Ulla Katzorke, Essen) received top marks in all criterias and achieved a final score of 9.19. The bay stallion from the dam line of Sabalera left the Niedersachsenhalle as a premium stallion at his licensing. The trot of Lindenberg by Libertad/Destano (breeder: ZG Maak, Hamburg, station: Tobias Schult, Hünxe) was awarded an even 10. This led to a final score of 9.07 for the black stallion, who came third in the Hannoveraner Riding Horse Championships last year with rider Jacob Schenk. Jacob Schenk's second top stallion followed just 0.03 points (9.04) behind: Hannoveraner and Bundeschampion Global Hope by Global Player/Fidertanz (breeder: ZG Werth, Moers, station: Klosterhof Medingen).
In part II, the Escamillo/Veneno son Escaneno (breeder: Tobias Schult, Hünxe) had his nose in front. The five-year-old, who had already scored 9.09 in part I at the same venue last year, achieved a final score of 8.97. Like Global Hope, he belongs to the Klosterhof Medingen and was presented by Hannah Laser. Celles Eventyr by Escolar/Lauries Crusador xx (breeder: Zuchthof Dree Boeken KG, Prieros) impressed with his great rideability, for which he received a "very good" and took third place in the ten-strong field with a final score of 8.50.
The second best in the sport performance test showjumping part II was the George Z/Cornado son Geoffrey (breeder: Heinrich Burmester, Warmsen, station: Stall Fromberger, Bovenau). The five-year-old, who has very good scope, was awarded a final score of 8.67. Two months ago, he and Birgit Gärtner-Döller came second in the Hannoveraner Show Jumping Masters. The Celle stallion Vincero by Viscerado/Stakkato (breeder: Karen Michaelis, Nordahn) was hardly inferior with a final score of 8.61. He had won part I of the sport performance test in Elmshorn last October.
