Nazila Natascha Lotz presented the mare, earning a score of 8.04.
Another Oldenburg mare, Ingrida YD by In my Mind-Donnerschwee (breeder: Tim-Philipp Reer), took home the silver. Markus von Holdt rode Ingrida. The best Holsteiner was the bronze medalist (7.44), Franco by Fürst Zonik PS-Cascadello I, bred by Christina Trauffer.
Heyser again
Carolin Heyser is also responsible for the champion of the six-year-olds, another Oldenburg: Gatsby by Galaxy-Roadster. As you might have guessed, Gatsby and Valerie Gold are half-siblings, both out of Rooney by Roadster-Karon, who was herself successful up to Class M. Gatsby was ridden by Carolin Heyser herself and received a score of 7.56.
The silver medal went to the Trakehner stallion Lancelot Selso by Ivanhoe-Sixtus (breeder: Stutteri Selso), ridden by Jasmin Ulonska-Weiss. Here, too, the bronze medalist was the best Holsteiner horse: Nikita by Zackerey-Damon, bred by ZG Sudeck and ridden by Anna Metzler.
