Last weekend, a round of the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup took place in Verona. From a Holsteiner perspective, there were several successes to report. For example, the reigning team world champion Richard Vogel (GER) secured fourth place in a 1.55-metre show jumping class with the eight-year-old Cherano by Cascadello I-Heraldik xx (Hans-Henning Lienau, Haselau), line 1947.
Vogel also impressed in Italy with another Holsteiner: the equally eight-year-old Baxxter by Breitling LS-Accorado I (ZG Tischer, Lauda), line 1298, took third place in a 1.50-metre class. Baxxter, who had already been awarded the title ‘Holsteiner YoungStar’, was brought into the sport by Jonte Hansen. Together they enjoyed remarkable success at the State and National Championships and represented the Holsteiner breed at the World Championships for Young Show Jumpers in Lanaken (BEL).
In Valencia, Spain, Matteo Zamana (ESP) impressed with Captain Conner by Conner-Calato (Annette Köhlbrandt, Fehmarn), line 162. The pair took fourth place in a 1.50-metre show jumping class. Sven Gero Hünicke (GER) and Vogelvau by Vagabond de la Pomme-Lancer II, also bred by Annette Köhlbrandt, line 702, recorded another success: they won a 1.40-metre show jumping class.
