The Hanoverian son of Spörcken was 1.5 points better (71.12 percent) than the Warendorf state stud stallion Zoom with Helen Langehanenberg (71.06). While Hemmer’s ride went off without any major faults – there could have been more in the right pirouette – Langehanenberg’s ride was marred by two mistakes. The adaptation after the collected walk did not really work out and the flying canter changes to two jumps did not go as planned either.
Tobis Nabben, who has a horse in the Fines-son Forster, who had already made a name for himself by finishing second in the warm-up test for the final of the Louisdor Prize 2025, came third. In Münster, the 15 single changes were unsuccessful, but the piaffe scores were eights (70.86).
Katha” Hemmer and her second horse Special Gold did not quite reach the 70 percent mark. After a solid start, a number of gallops went wrong (69.72). As a result, the son of Isabell Werth’s three-time World Cup winner Weihegold finished in fourth place.
Helen Langehanenberg had clearly won the short Grand Prix with the home-bred Daniela, a daughter of her successful horse Damsey. With 73.326 percent, she was clearly ahead of second-placed Alina Schrader and Flavio (71.674). Andrea Timpe and her Don Carismo came third (70.837).
