The 2010 Nurnberger Burgpokal Finals are set to take place this week at the 2010 CDI-W Frankfurt in Germany. These prestigious finals in Frankfurt are the apex of the year for German small tour combinations.
Fifteen horses qualified for the finals in Frankfurst after fifteen selection trials held throughout Germany during the 2010 show season. Holga Finken won the first trial in Berlin with Schneekoppe Dot Com, Jasmine Sanche-Burger won the last qualifier in Donaueschingen with Unee.
Four qualificants have already withdrawn for the Finals. They are Holga Finken with Schneekoppe dot com, Dorothee Schneider with Forward Looking, Insa Hansen with Rossano and Helen Langehaneberg with Moncassado.
Two combinations are filling up the vacant spots: Danish Sune Hansen on Blue Hors Rush Hour (by Rubin Royal), who won in group 2 at the Verden qualifier, and Austrian Victoria Max-Theurer on Moliere (by Munchhausen), who finished second at the Donaueschingen qualifier.
Horses between the ages of 7 and 9 are eligible to compete in the Nurnberger Burgpokal qualifiers and finals, with the restriction that they have not placed in a Grand Prix, GP Special or GP kur before the closing date.
