Holsteiner Pferdetage:
(Elmshorn) Breeding and sport in one place - this is the motto of the Holsteiner Horse Days will take place this weekend in Elmshorn. Thus the best young horses come together at the Herbert Blöcker Square to determine their state champions - the four- and seven-year-olds chose their winners today. Characterful by Comme il faut-Contendro I and Chanio by Carvallo-Corrado I are the names of the winners. In addition, 27 foals were sold to new owners at the hybrid auction. The top price was achieved by catalog number 1, Carossa by Cascadello I-Coronado at 14,500 euros.
Characterful is champion of four-year-olds
.
The new rider on the Holsteiner Verband Hengsthaltungs GmbH team, Massimo
Bonomi, has succeeded in making a perfect debut: With the four-year-old Charaktervoll by Comme il faut-Contendro I (Manfred von Allwörden, Grönwohld), Stamm 474A, he jumped to victory in the Landeschampionat with an outstanding score of 9.0 in the final. The Verband stallion already proved his class in the qualifier when he and Bonomi won the first division with a score of 9.2. "He always jumps confidently and through the whole body," judged the jury on today's final day. "From withers to hind leg, this stallion is relaxed, generous and loose." LP Big City Life by Brantzau-Catoki (Markus Popp Pferdemanagement, Bienenbüttel), Stamm 18A1, under Alexandra Langer, ranked second. The chestnut mare received an 8.5 for her performance. Bronze went to the stallion Cardentos by Cardento-Quo Vados I (Witt Pferdezucht GbR, Wellinghusen), Stamm 776, and Marten Witt with a score of 8.4. The Verband stallions Dubliner (8.3) by. Dinken-Canturo (Philipp Freier, Landau), Stamm 95, under Massimo Bonomi, and Cahil (8.2) by Cornet Obolensky-Contender (Manfred von Allwörden, Grönwohld), Stamm 776, with Maximilian Gräfe in the saddle also ranked fourth and sixth.
Chanio arrow-quick to victory
In a demanding course at S* level with a subsequent jump-off, the
seven-year-old show jumpers sought - and found - their champion. Chanio by Carvallo BB- Corrado I (ZG Lüneburg, Hetlingen), Stamm 8763, galloped away from the competition and may henceforth adorn himself with the honorable title. Eleven starter pairs had qualified for the jump-off and a rider who has already proven many times that he can deliver rounds as fast as an arrow had also prepared his youngster Chanio very well for this final: Sven Gero Hünicke, two-time German champion of young show jumpers, is employed by Hinerk Köhlbrandt on the island of Fehmarn and also rides some horses belonging to the Lüneburg family from Hetlingen. These include the gelding Chanio, with whom Hünicke has already won the qualifier at M** level. This season, the two have already been pinned with the golden ribbon eight times before their starts in Elmshorn, and in the evening Hünicke also flew Cedric by Clarimo-Concerto II (Jens Ritters, Krumstedt), Stamm 730B, to victory in the S** jumping competition with jump-off in the Grand Tour. Silver in the state championships for seven-year-olds was won by Comic by Comme il faut-Casall and
Simon Heineke, who is a rider at Moorhof in Holm near Hamburg, where Comic was also bred.
was bred. Third place went to Cool Limit RN by Cormint-Loutano (Sven
Bussius, Sylt), Stamm 3030, and Björn Behrend.
Carossa was top
At the foal auction, which was held in a hybrid format (i.e. live on site, via telephone and on the online
Portal was carried out, 27 quality offspring hopefuls came under the
Hammer. Auctioneer Hendrik Schulze-Rückamp knocked down catalog number 1 as the most expensive foal to German customers bidding 14,500 euros. This was the colt Carossa by Cascadello I-Coronado, whose dam Patschuli was herself successful in the show jumping arena up to 1.55 meters. The second highest bidder was catalog number 4, Ultimo by Uriko-Cassini I. He is moving to the USA for 13,500 Euros. Six candidates cost 10,000 euros or more, the average price was around 7,800 euros. "Foals from mare families with high own performance were very much in demand," said marketing director Roland Metz afterwards. "Many customers were enthusiastic about the interesting Holstein performance strains," Metz continued.
