The 5-year old Vivat Rex and the 6-year old Coco Island were the winners in the Bundeschampionate qualification classes held at the dressage show in Fussgönheim on Friday 17 July 2020. 

Ten pairs competed in the L-level dressage horse test for 5-year olds, judged by Anne Rossbach, Frank Uhde, and Jörg Beerhenke. Stefanie Ahlert and the Oldenburg licensed stallion Vivat Rex (by Vivaldi x Samarant) won the class with 8.1 points. Owned by OPS Horse, the liver chestnut got 8 for walk and trot, 8.5 for canter 7.5 for submission and 8.5 for general impression. With this score, Vivat Rex (who sold for 200,000 euro at the Oldenburg auction) re-gained his licensed status after failing the performance test. Jaya Gutheil and Janine Wolf's Oldenburg mare Quality Time (by Quantensprung x Placido) were second with 8.0. The black mare got 8 for walk, 9 for trot, 7.5 for canter and submission and 8 for general impression. 

Seven pairs rode the M-level dressage horse test and Luxembourg's Fie Skarsoe won it aboard Peter Jan Schlüschen's Oldenburg gelding Coco Island (by Cennin x Florencio). They scored 8.5 for walk, 7.5 for trot, 8 for canter and submission and 8.5 for general impression to finish on a winning 8.1. Linda Jung and Dressuragentur's Hanoverian gelding Qu'est-ce due c'est (by Quaterhall x Silbermond) were the runners-up with 8.0.
