Valverde and Eva Möller during WCYH in Ermelo 2019 - photo credit: Lily Forado
5 year old final
The 5 year old final became a kind of a show case of how to become a Champion. The very experienced rider Eva Möller showed Valverde by Vitalis / Ampere in the best possible way both for the preliminary class and for today’s final. Valverde is fully focused on the job all the way and Eva Möller is able to adjust and help him as much as needed without any tensions. The scoreboard showed the clear difference with Valverde scoring 9,3 and with the Franziskus / Damon Hill son Federer with Carlos Caetano at silver position with 8,6 and bronze medalist Anna-Sophie Fibelkorn with Don Mateo by Don Juan de Hus / Royal Highness with 8,5.
From H2R point of view the mare Quiana with Nicole Wego which came 4th with 8,4 should have been at the podium.
Equal placed at 7th position was Espe with Eva Möller and Damon Gold OLD with Danish Maria Falkner Hansen. Placed 9th today was Luxembourg rider Kristine Møller with Quatre-Quartz a L´orange.
Today’s winner became 4th in the final at WCYH in Ermelo.
For the finals Dr. Dietrich Plewa was at the microphone explaining and commenting each combination after their test in the final. Here below you can listen to the comments (in German) for Valverde and Eva Möller.
6 year old final
In the final for the 6 year old horses Saturday Zum Glück RS2 OLD by Zonik / Florestan I and Robin van Lierop show a strong performance and kept the high standard from the preliminary class Wednesday. The winning score was 9,3 clear ahead of silver medalist Rock Revolution by Rock Forever / Davignon I with Lars Schultze Sutthoff scoring 8,8 and bronze position to the lovely grey Holsteiner stallion Caracciola MT by Chin Champ / Calido with Melanie Tewes scoring 8,6.
Zum Glück RS2 OLD with Robin van Lierop was 9th for the final at WCYH in Ermelo.

36.000 euros for top colt by Expression / Uphill at Maren-Kessel foal auction
H2R top favourite with top price and the only foal over 10.000 euros.
Intermediaire II debut with almost 74% for 8 year old Danish Warmblood gelding Rockson with Uwe Schwanz
Exciting new Grand Prix horses in the making
European Team champions Jessica von Bredow-Werndl and Isabell Werth both with “new” Grand Prix horses in the making. Jessica was showing the 10 year old Ferdinand BB by Florencio I / Lanciano and won the preliminary class for the prestigious Louisdor Preis final. Ferdinand BB is a horse with 3 nice basic gaits, showing good expression, much forward piaffe tours and lacking bit more expression for the series, but super nice pirouettes and good passage.
Danish Warmblood gelding, just 8 year old Rockson by Rockefeller / Sorento with Uwe Schwanz showing lots of go and super abilities for the piaffe / passage work, expressive series and a bit unbalanced pirouettes. Superb debut at this “small GP level”.
3rd today was Isabell Werth with 10 year old DSP Belantis (gelding). Before entering the arena Werth was clearly reminding the grey gelding about his job. Belantis is a gorgeous grey model, with lots of expression and suppleness. During the test with lovely extensions, good half passes, nice passage, but the piaffe itself is lacking more clear carriage and sit and becomes a with a bit crop high trend. Series becomes a bit tense and with error for the one times. There is still some way before the real Grand Prix, but must say, not surprisingly that Isabell will make it.
Tomorrow sunday is the qualifier for Louisdor Preis final starting 12.45, and it will be available online via Clipmyhorse.
VIDEO - Outstanding Bundeschampion 4 year old stallions - Destello OLD
Destello OLD by Dimaggio / Fürst Fugen with Beatrice Buchwald
Destello OLD remember the name
Following today’s 4 year old final at the Bundeschampionate Destello OLD with Beatrice Buchwald in the saddle just stood out.
Destello showing so much power, elasticity and balance for both the trot and the canter, always pushing from behind into a steady light uphill contact, for the walk it is with good quality and suppleness. He is super modern with lovely confirmation and still a bit naughty young boy like - definitely one to keep an eye on for both sport and breeding. Destello is bred by Stefanie Löhmann and owned by Sophie Fabri.

Damon Gold OLD and Maria Falkner Hansen - photo credit: H2R
Damon Gold OLD by Damon Hill / Fürst Romancier / Don Schufro out of the direct dam line of Weihegold OLD, bred by Lone Bøegh Henriksen, HP Horses in Denmark.
The margins were not at Maria and Damon Gold OLD for the preliminary test, but for today’s test the showed another great performance, and today with more over all suppleness and with just a small issue for the final transition from canter to trot which becomes a bit stocked.
Overall placement as no 4 gives them a spot for Sunday´s final.

Möller ladies in top of Bundeschampionate 5 year old preliminary test today
Eva Möller with Valverde winner and Kristine Møller with Quarte-Quarts á l´Orange 2nd today.
For both yesterday’s preliminary 6 year old test and last part of 5 year old test co-commentator at Clipmyhorse was Heike Kemmer. Very interesting to follow and with sharp eyes all the way.
Today’s 5 year old class was dominated by the Vitalis / Ampere son Valverde with Eva Möller as they were already at start before 9 this morning and kept the leading position all day, only challenged by Danish Kristine Møller.
Common for the Möller ladies today were the well balanced and expressive tests without any technical issues, showing confident and supple young horses in a nice frame all the way.
