La Noire and La Stella reigned supreme in the Bundeschampionate qualification classes at the Aubenhausen Dressage Festival, June 26-28, 2009. Despite heavy rainfall and thunder storms during the competition, the quality of the performance remained considerably high.
Dorothee Schneider and her black mare La Noire won the 5-year old class with an 8.10 total score. Nicole Casper followed in second place with Birkhofs Denario (by Denaro x Fairplay) with 8.0 and in third place on Dave (by Denaro x Rehberg) with 7.9.
Professional dressage rider Rudolf Widmann won the 6-year old dressage horse division with his fantastically moving Holsteiner mare La Stella (by Locato x Loutano). He obtained an 8.3 total score from the judges. Benjamin Werndl, whose parents own the Aubenhausen equestrian centre, placed second on the Hanoverian gelding Renommee (by Rotspon x Laptop) with 7.5. Johanna von Fircks tied with her Hanoverian mare Fiorucci (by Friendship x Weltmeyer).
