In France, the USA and the United Arab Emirates, Holsteiners secured top placings this weekend:
After Edouard Schmitz (SUI) and Quno by Quo Vados-Cash and Carry (Witt Pferdezucht GbR, Wellinghusen), mare family 776, who already took second place in the World Cup show-jumping in Amsterdam (NED) last weekend, have now again been successful over 1.60 meters in the Western European League: Namely in Bordeaux, France, where they again jumped to silver. The 23-year-old and his Holsteiner are therefore entitled to a starting place for the World Cup finals in Omaha (USA).
Doolys by Cannavaros-Lantaan (Heiko Büttner, Schafstedt), dam line 2599, came into the sport with Dirk and Hannes Ahlmann. The Dane Lars Bak Andersen is now in her saddle and secured second place in a 1.50 meter show jumping test in Bordeaux.
Also decorated with silver, Michael G. Duffy (IRL) and Cinca left the lap of honor after the 1.50 meter competition in Sharjah (UAE). Peter Wylde is responsible for breeding the Casall-Carthago mare from line 318D2.
