Verden. Their names are Hann.Pr.A. Donna Bella and Hann.Pr.A. Summersby and they are the best three-year-old mares in Hannover. They won the Herwart von der Decken-Show.
Dressage part of press release
"Great finish", said Katy Holder-Vale after the presentation of the 40 dressage mares on the triangular track. Together with Matthias Klatt and Ulrich Hahne, the chairwoman of the British Hanoverian Horse Society judged the three-year-olds, who were extremely strong in movement. She had hardly stepped onto the track as the first competitor when the hearts flew to her: Hann.Pr.A. Ballerina by Bon Courage/Destano (breeder: Hof Schepergerdes, Meppen, exhibitor: Christa Zumbeel-Dust, Bawinkel) thrilled with her performance and was celebrated as the Champion Mare Dressage. A year ago her half brother Big Ben by Bonds was licensed in Verden. She was hardly inferior to Hann.Pr.A. Summersby by Sandro Hit/Donnerhall (breeder and exhibitor: W.M. Stud, Visselhövede), who won the title of Reserve Champion. She comes from a sporty family, her granddam Real Gold is the dam of Duke of Britain FRH, who won team bronze with Germany’s Frederic Wandres at the World Championships in Herning/DEN.
In addition, the best mare family of the past show season was awarded in the For Pleasure arena. The Friedrich Jahncke Prize went to Hann.Pr.St. Chayenne by Christ/Raphael (breeder: Marefield Meadows, Blender) and her two daughters Hann.Pr.A. Doortje by D'Egalite and a two-year-old by Jovian. The breeding association Lange from Albstedt had presented this outstanding family out of the Swan Maiden line in Elmlohe.
