"I've been here in Holstein for almost exactly 20 years and you can call that a home win - especially with a Holsteiner stallion," said a visibly satisfied Rolf-Göran Bengtsson after his victory in the Neumünster Grand Prix at the VR Classics.
He did two flawless rounds with the Verband stallion Zuccero by Zirocco Blue-Caretino (Hanno Köhncke, Badendorf), line 4539, in the world ranking competition with two rounds over 1.60 meters, which was also the final of the BEMER Riders Tour. 40 riders competed in the test, which was worth more than 52,000 euros, only ten were allowed into the second round after a clear round - and none beat the fast time of Bengtsson and the grey.
Already at the Verband stallion presentation a week ago, the couple showed themselves in top form, ready for the upcoming tasks. After Neumünster, a start in Gothenburg, Sweden, is now on the agenda.
