Twelve combinations qualified for the finals' test through the warm up round. Petra Wilm and the Holsteiner Almoretto placed 12th in that Finals' class, a young Grand Prix horse test.

Ronald Luders and his Nurnberger Burgpokal Finallist Sancisco (by Sandro Hit) made the transition to Grand Prix. They finished 8th with 68.100%

Ronan: the gorgeous face of this gentle giant

The trot work of Kristy Oatley's Ronan (by Riccione) is also mega powerful

Talk about unlimited potential. Kristy Oatley's gigantic Ronan (standing approximately 185 cm) has an out-of-this-world canter!

Jasmin Schaudt with the 9-year old Baden Wurttemberger branded mare Girasol (by Gribaldi x Landioso). This mare is claimed to be (by some) the German answer to Totilas. She has jaw-dropping unlimited movement potential

Wolfram Wittig aboard the 8-year old Bertoli W. This combination finished fourth right behind Brigitte Wittig on Bertoli's elder sister Biagotti W (by Breitling x Diego xx)

Uta Gräf and the Holstein bred Le Noir finished second in the Hagen Medien Cup Qualifier. Here you see them schooling early in the morning
