Silver medal winners in the 5-year-old division at the 2001 World Championships for young dressage horses were Holga Finken and Wanesco.

Under Holga Finken's professional horsemanship, Wanesco was fourth in the first round with 8.4. points, was second in the second round and dominated the finals with 9.0 points.
Owned by Fritz Böhm from Worpswede and bred by Kurt Pelk from WIndsbach, Germany, Wanesco is by Weltmeyer out of a Werther dam and is registered with the Bavarian Verband.
