The 5-year old Special Diva OLD and the 6-year old Sambalito became the winners of the small Bundeschampionate qualification classes held during the national 2016 Heroldsberg Dressage Gal in Heroldsberg, Germany, on 24 - 26 June 2016. Only 9 horses showed up to earn a ticket to Warendorf.
The annual Heroldsberg Dressage Gala is quite a big dressage event, especially at FEI level with qualification classes for the Developing Prix St Georges and Grand Prix horses as well as complete big tour division. For the young horse tests there was only a small turnout. Remarkably is that the 6-year old division consisted entirely of Sandro Hit get.
The 5-year old division had two winners tying in first place with 8.30. Norwegian Isabel Freese and Paul Schockemohle's Oldenburg mare Special Diva (by Sir Donnerhall x Diamaond Hit) got 8 for walk, 8.5 for trot and canter, 8 for submission and 8.5 for general impression. Laura Strobel and Sissy Max-Theurer's home bred Brunello di Montalcino (by Belissimo M x Weltmeyer) got 9 for walk, 8.5 for trot and canter, 7 for submission and 8.5 for general impression.
In the 6-year old division Franziska Stieglmaier and her own German Sport Horse Sambalito (by Samba Hit II x Classic Dance) aced the class with 7.8. Her horse got 7.5 for walk, 8 for trot and canter, 7.5 for submission and 8 for general impression. Meike Lang and Sorrento Snorri (by San Amour x Feinbrand) were the runners-up with 7.7.
