The 5-year old Dubarry B and the 6-year old Dior were the winners of the Bundeschampionate qualification classes at the final BuCha selection trial held this year in Germany. Dubarry B and Dior aced the L and M-level Dressage Horse Tests at the regional show at Arnold Winter's barn Wintermuehle in Neu-Anspach, Germany, on 1 - 4 August 2013.
Thirty riders contested the 5-year old division in a final attempt to qualify for Warendorf. Former Under 25 rider Stella Charlott Roth and the Hanoverian branded Dubarry B (by Don Frederico) won the class wiht 8.4 but had Finnish Emma Kanerva on her heels. The assistant trainer at Hubertus Schmidt's barn scored 8.3 aboard the Westfalian bred Continental (by Caretino). Leslie Rohrbacher and the Hanoverian bred Lagerfeld (by Londontime) were third with 8.2
The scores in the 6-year old division did not peak as much as with the 5-year olds. The winning mark was an 8.0 achieved by Thomas Wagner aboard the Hanoverian Dior (by Diamond Hit). Wagner beat himself on his second ride Digby (by Dimaggio) with whom he scored 7.4. Natalie Riffel completed the top three with a 7.3 aboard her Hanoverian Dissertation (by Don Crusador).
