The 5-year old Brooklyn and the 6-year old D'Alessandro became the winners of the Bundeschampionate qualification classes held at the regional show in Olfen-Vinnum on Thursday 6 August 2020.
Eleven pairs competed in the L-level dressage horse test for 5-year olds and Claudia Rüscher topped the board on her own Westfalian stallion Brooklyn (by Baccardi x Waterford). Judges Ulrike Böckler, Bodo Maiwurm and Michael Settertobulte rewarded the bay stallion with 8 for walk, 8.5 for trot and canter, 8 for submission and 8.5 for general impression. He totaled a winning 8.3 points. Stefanie Ahlert and Warendorf's Westfalian stallion Selectric (by Sezuan x De Koonig) made a good recovery after having to retire the horse from his qualification attempt in Donzdorf, Germany, on 31 July. In Vinnum, Selectric was on point and scored 8.1 to tie in second place with barn mare By Your Side, who also had to retire in Donzdorf. Selectric scored 8.5 for walk and canter, 9 for trot, yet 6.5 for submission but 8.0 for general impression. Warendorf's Hanoverian stallion By Your Side (by Benicio x Dancier) scored 8.1 after receiving 8 for walk, 8.5 for trot and canter, 7.5 for submission and 8 for general impression.
Ten pairs competed in the M-level class for 6-year olds and Spanish Ivan Nieto Sanchez aced the class aboard Equus Invest's Hanoverian stallion D'Alessandro (by Don Frederic x Stedinger). The pair has already qualified for Warendorf at Hof Bettenrode in July, but went for more ring experience in Vinnum. They scored a winning 8.2. after earning 8 for walk and canter, 9 for trot, 7.5 for submission and 8.5 for general impression. Nele Lübbehusen and Warendorf's Westfalian stallion Velvet (by Van Vivaldi x Fidermark) were second with 8.0. The liver chestnut got 8.5 for walk, 8 for trot and canter, 7.5 for submission and 8 for general impression.
