RECORD TO DATE OF FORMER AUCTION HORSES
Take a look at the reports further down this side; it is well worth your while!
November 2011
Leading up to the auction, former Top-Eventers bring home top international placings at CCI* and CCI3* level.
The countdown to this year’s Top-Event-Horse-Auction has started. During the past two weeks prospective buyers, including previous clients, international top riders from Europe and abroad have been using the opportunity to view and try out the 2011 collection at Elmar Lesch’s Training Center in Bavendorf.
Former auction horses have also been in action proving their quality with further placings at CCI3* and CCI*level. The long journey to the USA proved to be really worthwhile for Merel Blom and Rumour Has it (2009 Auction). In Galway Downs in California the Dutch rider and her Holstein gelding from Esteban xx finished under the Top-Five in the CCI***. A confirmation of their performance in October in Boekelo in the CCI*** where they completed a super cross country round without jumping faults. (Photo below)
Heinz Scheller and Autumn’s Crystal, who have already been successful this year with a number of placings nationally in Switzerland, finished their season impressively in Camieri, Italy by coming 3rd in their first international appearance at CCI* level. Congratulations and thank you for the lovely photos that Tamara Acklin has kindly lent us.
June 2011
Good results are putting Swiss Top-Eventers in the limelight!
Fantastico (formerly First Flights Dancer/2009 Auction), who is now ridden by Marisa Cortesi, is proving to be a promising youngster. This season they have already come home with numerous wins and placings and Marisa, who took part in the Olympics in 2004, is more than happy with her Trakehner geldings career so far. They have just won a B1 dressage test. Our thanks go to Maris for sending the photos. If you would like to know more about the pair of them take a look at their website http://www.marisa-cortesi.com/Fantastico.html
And two further success stories from Switzerland: Autumn’s Crystal (former Herbstkristall/2010 Auction) ridden by Heinz Scheller took part in their first CNC* and finished 2nd. Moustique (2009 Auction) ridden by Christoph Meier won a B1. Congratulations and thank you for the photo below of Autumn’s Crystal in Birchwill!
Windsor H and Maria Sendagorta are well on their way to the European Championships!
For Maria the three days in Luhmühlen (16th – 19th June) were far more than just a test run and a way of getting to know the new tournament ground, the starter list for the event was full of well known top international riders as well as many potential European Championship candidates and she knew the task at hand needed her full concentration.
However the performance of the reigning Spanish Champion and her Top-Eventer in the CIC3* Milford Trophy was so convincing that their seasons aim of taking part in the European Championships is only just a step away. After their appearance against the impressive backdrop of the newly modernized tournament grounds, the 25 year old student from near Madrid is perfectly equiped and highly motivated for her first International Championship as a rider.
In the dressage, both horse and rider gave a good solid performance which was however marked below that of what they are capable of achieving. Afterwards Maria analyzed their performance: “I think perhaps that I let the atmosphere in the arena get to me and I concentrated too hard on riding accurately. I think I rode too nicely; looking back I should have risked a bit more."
However on the cross country course they were in their element and completed a super ride without jumping penalties. Here some photographic impressions from Ronny Hogrebe and Thomas Ix.

Maria is full of praise for Windsor during the interview with Gabriel Kolb from >German Eventing.
Unfortunately during the final show jumping two poles fell, however this didn’t prevent the pair from moving up 3 places which meant they finished the event with a total of 78 minus points and the 29th place.
By the way, the photographer Thomas Ix has a Luhmühlen gallery on his website >www.foto-ix.de which contains photographs of all the competitors who took part in the 4* and 3* events. It is also possible to order prints online. Super photographs – well worth a visit!
Here a direct link to the photographs taken in Luhmühlen: http://fotos.foto-ix.com/reitsport_2011/Luhmuehlen_2011/Start.html
Success stories from Switzerland
The Top-Eventers in Switzerland have also had a successful start to the season. Patricia Attinger (Photos below) riding Raumalpha (2007 Auction) won the CIC* in Frauenfeld. In Radolfzell she came 19th riding Hilton P (2008 Auction) in their first start at 2* level.
Light of Polaris (2009 Auction) ridden by Tamara Acklin starting for the first time at B2 and B3 level was placed in both tests. Marisa Cortesi riding Fantastico (ex First Flight's Dancer/2009 Auction) won and came second at B1 level.
At the end of May, Heinz Scheller riding Autumn's Crystal (ex Herbstkristall/2010 Auction) won a national B3 test.
Our congratulations go to all riders and thank you Tamara Acklin for sending the photographs.
May 2011
Rolex Kentucky CCI4*- The Top-Eventer Quintus becomes a member of the Champions League!
In the USA, during the first May weekend, a memorable success was achieved by the former Top-Event-Horse, Quintus ridden by Karen O’Connor. The pair came 13th in the CIC4* and for the first time the name of a Top-Eventer was to be found on the leader board of a 4* event. The Oldenburg gelding was discovered by Elmar Lesch in 2006 for his Auction of Elite Eventing Horses and was sold at the auction to a buyer in the USA. Initially Liz Millikin presented the gelding at events and in 2009 he moved to the yard of Olympic rider, Karen O’Connor. Fairly soon the pair got themselves noticed by being placed under the top ten in the CCI3* in Fair Hill at the end of the season. In Kentucky, Quintus completed his first 4* event with flying colours. It appears that this pair were made for each other and they will be literally reaching for the stars. Congratulations and all the best for future starts.
The Spanish Top-Eventers go for gold in Montenmedio and Seville
The National Spanish Championships took place this year between 6th & 8th May during the CCI*** in Vejer de la Frontera (Montenmedio/Sunshine Tour), along with a CIC**. Maria and Christina Sendagorta were both well prepared for the first highlight of the season, having already achieved a good number of placings already this season with their Top-Eventers, Windsor H and O Lady Mary, who were also both top fit. Christina rode her mare O Lady Mary (see photos above) very convincingly through the whole event, they did already have placings at CIC** level this season, however here she rode the best dressage ever and was top of the leader board at the end of the first day. The cross country course built by designer Pierre Michelet was hilly and full of technically demanding combinations, suitable for horses with good stamina and ridden by skilled riders. Christina and O Lady Mary, who to date have never had a stop in the cross country, mastered all challenges the course presented and held onto the overnight lead. The 9 year old Holstein mare looked really fit at the horse inspection on Sunday morning and went on to perform a perfect round in the show jumping arena after which the young rider was really happy to receive the winner’s trophy.
Christina’s older sister Maria and Windsor H took part in the main test of the event, the CCI***. She wanted to try and become Spanish Champion for the second time, having won for the first time in 2009. This year the championship was being ridden at 3* level for the first time. Windsor H had to take a break last year due to injury and Maria had worked very carefully with him during the winter months to get him fit to compete. Swimming was even one of the activities included in the training plan for the now 11 year old Hanoverian gelding sired by Wilawander xx. Elmar Lesch not only trained Maria during the pre-season preparation but also helped her with her planning for the season. He travelled regularly to Spain to help her in training or give support during the events running up to the Championships. The team had done their homework well and both rider and horse were at their best when the event started.
Maria started the cross country lying 3rd after the dressage and as best rider in the Spanish team. The course was hilly and expected a high level of concentration and skill from both horse and rider, especially during the densely wooded stretches. The biggest challenge for the competitors from England, Belgium, Portugal and Switzerland proved to be finishing the course within the set time limit. Maria and Windsor were one of two pairs which managed to achieve this! After completing the course Maria was thrilled with her Top-Eventer.
“Windsor was simply brilliant; he galloped like a race horse and jumped over the wide obstacles as if he was taking part in a pre-novice event. He is an unbelievable athlete, simply the best! I was really relieved to discover how ambitious and fit he is after his time out this winter, he is back and we had such a lot of fun”.
After their super cross country round the pair had taken over the well earned ‘pole position’ in both the total and championship rankings, with just the final show jumping to come. Now all that was left to be done was to keep the fingers crossed and stay relaxed! Maria had a 6.7 point lead as she rode into the show jumping arena. During the warm up she had felt confident but now it was all or nothing and the show jumping course was not easy and the time allowed not over generous. After a small shock as a pole fell at the oxer after the triple combination, the 25 year old student finished the rest of the course without any further minus points being added to her result and crossed the finishing line as the new Spanish Champion; she was thrilled about winning the title for the second time. With this achievement she is finally in the Spanish national championship team and will hopefully be selected to start at the Europeans in August in Luhmühlen.
Luhmühlen is where five years ago the successful sporting partnership between Windsor and Maria started and it would be more than fitting for their greatest achievement so far to also take place there, it will be her first appearance at a major international championship. In June Maria will be starting in Luhmühlen in the CIC*** Milford Trophy and we wish her luck!
The promising youngster Carolyn, a now 7 year old Hanoverian mare that the Sendagorta family bought at the 2009 auction and which Maria rode at the World Championship for 6 yr old Eventing Horses 2010 in Le Lion d’Angers, completed the winning series. This season Carolyn is to move up to the next level and recently took part with Maria in a CNC** in Seville. After completing the dressage with just 38.6 minus points which put her in the lead, she added no further minus points to her result and won the event with a lead of 6 points. Maria was full of praise for her “little Carolyn”: “She was so easy to ride and we both had so much fun, we just had to win. Carolyn proved that she is a super eventer, she was outstanding in all disciplines”.
April 2011
Reports of success from Spain and from a promising German youngster
The Sendagorta sisters Maria and Christina seem to go from one success story to the next. O Lady Mary, ridden by Christina, started the season by winning a CIC* in Spain, Maria narrowly missed winning an eventing test at elementary level (L) with Carolyn and came in second. The season started just as successfully for Windsor who came second in the CIC** in Montemendia. Congratulations to both of you.
Here in Germany, riders are concentrating on qualifying their German youngsters for the National Championships for Young Horses. Lou Berner, ridden by Anna Siemer (photos below), seems to be very capable of achieving this aim. The first starts of the season went well with a placing in Bad Segeberg in their first Novice event and a 4th place in the Cross Country test for young horses in Luhmühlen, a big step towards taking part in the seasons highlight in Warendorf.
March 2011
A successful start to the 2011 season for former auction horses
Various Top-Eventers have already brought home ribbons from the first shows of the season. Raumalpha ridden by Patrizia Attinger won a national 2* test in Casorate (ITA). Louisa Brachtvogel, the new member of the > Top-Eventers Team in 2011, has already won three tests with her horse Wallaby. You can read her detailed report and impressions in the > Team News
Barroca d’Alva – Queen of the Catwalk finishes 6th in the CIC*
The former auction horse ‘Queen of the Catwalk’ ridden by Merel Blom (NED) finished the CIC* in Barroca d’Alva, Portugal with 53.7 points and a well earned 6th place, a successful start to the 2011 Season. The mare’s performance last year at the World Championships for 6 yr olds had already attracted a lot of attention and her renewed success confirms her capabilities at CIC* level.
October 2010
Quintus finished in the Top-Ten in the CCI*** at Fair Hill
Karen O’Connor has a new string to her bow with Quintus (2006 auction), the 10 year old Oldenburger gelding from Quincitus from a Contango dam. They have been more than successful in their first joint season. They ended their first public performance with a win, in the CCI** at Rebecca Farm they just missed coming in 1st and recently in the famous CCI*** at Fair Hill they came 8th!
Congratulations!
September 2010
Six former auction horses are nominated for the World Championships for Young Horses!
The closer we get to this years auction the closer we get to the end of the 2010 Eventing Season, however the highlights are still to come.
The best 6 and 7 year old eventing horses in the world will be competing against each other from 21st – 24th October in Le Lion d’Angers. Half a dozen former auction horses are to be found on the starter list of top quality horses, and will be following in the footsteps of Windsor H and Raumalpha who took part in this event in 2007.
The Holstein gelding “Extra” who moved from double Olympic gold medallist Hinrich Romeike’s yard to Merel Blom via the Top-Event-Horse-Auction 2009, will be starting along with his stable mate “Queen of the Catwalk” (former Ribeira Brava – Auction 2009) for Holland. The 6 year old “Queen of the Catwalk” qualified by coming 6th in the CIC* in Langenhagen. “Flash Sun” (Auction 2009) ridden by the Danish rider Anna Thea Folkmar Jacobsen qualified in the same event, they came 13th. Anna Thea has also been nominated by her national Federation to ride “Sarkozy”, the top horse at the Top-Event Horse-Auction 2008; they will be starting in the event for 7 year olds.
Photos above from left to right: Queen of the Catwalk, Flash Sun and Gräfin Giuliana are three of six nominated Top-Eventers for the World Championships for 6 and 7 year old horses.
Carolyn and her rider Maria Sendagorta will be starting for Spain after being given the go ahead by her Federation shortly after the success at the German Championship for Young Horses in Warendorf.
Last but not least, the 7 year old “Gräfin Giuliana” (Auction 2007), also a Top-Eventer, will be starting for Germany. Last year the Hanoverian mare ridden by Moritz von Ziegner showed her quality at the National Championships for Young Horses and confirmed it by being placed in a number of CIC** events and finishing under the Top Ten in the CIC** in Langenhagen. As a reward for their constant and good performance during the season, the German Equine Federation has nominated the pair to take part in the highlight of the international season for young eventing horses and it will surely be the most significant accomplishment in the career of this amateur rider from RFV Vögelsen Mechtersen.
The auction team will be keeping their fingers crossed and wish them all good luck!
Indurain and Alfred Bierlein were in Top Form in Langenhagen
Alfred Bierlein and Indurain almost managed to complete the event with their dressage result. However the 1.6 time penalties they received in the cross country didn’t have any effect on their final placing. The 6 year old Trakehner gelding from Houston, who was bought by Alfred Bierlein at the Top-Event-Horse.Auction in 2008 came 3rd in the CIC* in Langenhagen which shows his development during the season and his capability of moving up to * level. These nice photographs taken by Ronny Hogrebe are further proof:
Top-Eventers attracted a lot attention by performing brilliantly at the Youngsters National Championships
The title of Vice Champion of the 6 year olds was won by an aspirant from the current collection!
As we already reported, six Top-Eventers from previous auctions and the Top-Eventers-Sales-Days this spring were qualified to take part in the highlight of the season for young horses. Five of the qualifiers actually started in Warendorf.
Maria Sendagorta, who has been training at Elmar Lesch’s centre for the past couple of months, had a particularly pleasing weekend, her horse Carolyn, the top horse at the Top-Event-Horse-Auction 2009, came 8th in the 6 year olds final, the only amateur on a leader board full of professionals. The Spanish rider was thrilled with her success and was full of praise for her Hanoverian mare. ”There aren’t that many top quality events for young horses in Spain. That’s why I have stayed here for a couple of months, training and taking part in as many events as possible. Carolyn has really been put to the test here in Warendorf, not only with the impressive setting but I also had a lot of respect for the course I had to ride in the final, however Carolyn did a great job and didn’t let any of these factors get to her. With this super achievement we have made a definite step towards representing Spain at the World Championships for 6 year old Eventers in October in France.”
Photos above: Maria Sendagorta (ESP) and Carolyn are experiencing a very successful guest performance at a number of German show grounds. Their appearance at the championship was in preparation for taking part in the World Championships later in the year
Hulingshof’s Pandora (Photos below), who changed owners at the Top-Event-Horse Auction 2009 was ridden by the former Young Rider’s European Champion, Sabrina Mertens. She came 3rd in the qualifying test and therefore qualified for the final.
Not only were there former auction horses among the starters at the Championships but also potential aspirants for the current collection:
However it was Elmar Lesch and Rubinjia who really caused a sensation. They won the title of Vice Champion of the 6 year olds, the expressive Hanoverian mare from Rubin Royal out of an Eklatant mother was successful last year at the Championships, were she came 5th in the 5 year olds final. This year she again showed what potential she has to offer and particularly in the cross country test left no doubt as to her quality. With a remarkable result of 9.6 in the final she left the rest of the field behind her and even the national trainer, Hans Melzer, who was one of the judges for this test, summed up the feelings of the jury with this comment “You can’t get much better than this!”
Here are some photos taken by Ronny Hogrebe, which show Elmar Lesch and Rubinja at the National Championships for 6 year olds:
Rubinja was discovered as a 4 year old by Elmar Lesch und Iris Schless at her breeder’s yard. She combines a top attitude with unlimited potential. During her 2 years training she has become a Top-Eventer par excellence, for whom all doors in this sport are wide open, with the best credentials she can move on to compete at top levels.

Lavinia S does it again!
It was only recently that we were able to report that Lavinia S had won a test and now only a few weeks after we received the good news from Australia, an update, with two lovely photos of Alexa and Lavinia S, has arrived in our Mailbox. The Hanoverian mare from Laptop out of a Ramioro’s son mother seems to feel very at home down under and gives her owner a lot of pleasure. She came fourth in an international test in Sydney. Congratulations and we look forward to the rest of the season and hopefully, further emails.
CIC** Schenefeld
Constantin von Ziegner and Don Juan came 4th in the CIC** in Schenefeld, quite an achievement considering the strong starter field made up of mainly young horses being ridden by competitors who were also taking part in the German National Championship and wanted to give their young horses the experience of starting at a big 3 day event. Constantin and Don Juan only moved up to 2* level in May this year and after being placed in their very first 2* they have now impressively confirmed their form.
Juli 2010
The first reports of success from Australia
Last year a Top-Eventer was sold, for the first time, to Australia. Lavinia S, who attracted a lot of attention at the National Championships for 5 + 6 year old horses in 2009, settled down well “Down Under” and has already booked a number of successes to her name. At a show, which took place at the Sydney International Equestrian Centre, she finished top of the board in a test for young horses. The owner of the 6 year old mare is more than satisfied with her progress and is confident she will soon move up to the next level without any problems. She sent us this lovely photo.
CIC**/ CIC*/Geländepferdeprüfung Kl. L (Novice) in Sahrendorf
In Sahrendorf, as in the previous year, former auction horses were well represented and the results of the Top-Eventers were something to be proud of. The top horse at the last auction, Carolin, ridden by her Spanish rider, Maria Sendagorta (Photos below) came 3rd in the Geländepferdeprüfung Kl. L.
In the first group of starters in the CIC*, Don Juan ridden by Constantin von Ziegner came 4th, Gräfin Giulianna and Moritz von Ziegner 11th and Dublin Lights and Kim Yvette Kailing 10th. In the second group, Lutz came 3rd ridden by Julia Mestern. Juliana Kaup and Limone came 11th and Anna Siemer was very happy with a 12th place with Cato. Indurain ridden by Alfred Bierlein, in their first CIC*, put in a good performance but didn’t manage a placing among the top quality field.
CIC* / CIC** in Mertingen
At the beginning of July during the show at Mertingen, Patrizia Attinger (SUI) added two more placings to her list of successes,with Raumalpha (2006 auction) she came 3rd in the CIC** and with Hilton (2008 auction) she was able to take home the trophy from the CIC*. Congratulations!
June 2010
Lost Money finishes under the top ten in the CCI** at Strzegom
Having already taken part in a number of short 2* events, Beeke Kaack and Lost Money started for the first time at CCI** level during the World Cup in Strzegom, Poland. Thanks to a perfect performance in the cross country and show jumping, the pair added no further points to their dressage result and were placed ninth on a leader board full of well known top riders. The Heraldik xx son moved to Beeke Kaack’s yard via the Top-Event-Horse-Auction in 2007.
May 2010
Five horses from the “Top-Event-Horse-Auctions” started in the CIC** in Wahlsdorf-Liepe
The von Ziegner family had every reason to be happy during the last weekend in May. Both of the horses they bought via the “Top-Event-Horse-Auctions”, Don Juan M and Gräfin Giuliana made their debut at 2* level ridden by Constantin and Moritz von Zeigner and both achieved placings among a field of well known starters. Congratulations on this dual success.
Constantin (left) und Moritz von Ziegner (right) with their former auction horses Don Juan M and Gräfin Giuliana
Lost Money (Beeke Kaack) and Sarkozy (Anna-Thea Jacobsen) who also made their debut at this level and Theodor Wahren with True Love, who had travelled down from Sweden, all successfully finished the event but did not quite manage to make it onto the leader board. Lost Moneys and Sarkozys performances in the dressage test and their clear rounds in the cross country were more than satisfactory and showed great promise for the future.
Lo Fino is successful in the USA
A perfect start at CCI** level during the 2010 Florida International Horse Trials
The premiere couldn’t have gone better. Tiffani Loudon-Meetze, starting for the first time at this level, took the lead after the dressage test during the CCI** in Florida and stayed there, riding a perfect round not only in the cross country but also in the show jumping. Tiffani Lourdon-Meetze received the “Ocala Horse Properties Cup” and a cheque for $6,600 after winning the CCI**.
Tiffani and her Hanoverian gelding (Likoto xx/Glorieux), which she bought at the Top-Event-Horse-Auction in 2007, won the event with 43.5 points. Only 12 starters managed to finish the challenging cross country course without any faults, all the more pleasing that Lo Fino and Tiffani completed the course with no problems at all.
Before the show jumping there was less than one jumping fault between the first and second place which meant excitement and tension right until the very end…however Lo Fino and his rider keep their nerves and went clear and they stayed at the top of the board. Congratulations!
Many of the horses that have been sold via our auctions have already been very successful this year.
April 2010
A Succcessful start for the Top Eventers in the 2010 Season
The season has just started and we can already report the first wins and placings
The eventing season has only just got underway and already a good number of Top Eventers, who were either sold via the annual auctions or at the recent Top Eventers Sales Days, have managed to get themselves in the limelight.
During the past weeks we have received numerous Emails with super photos, each telling a personal success story and we thought it would be good to put all these stories together and share them with the visitors of our website. Firstly we would like to thank everyone who has contacted us with feedback and congratulate them all on their success. We also want to wish them all good luck with their Top Eventers for the rest of the season. The horses from the first auctions in 2005 and 2006 have grown up and are now successfully taking part at top competition levels. Not only Windsor, who achieved his first placing at CIC*** level in 2009 and has also won the Spanish National Championships, but also Raumalpha with his rider Patrizia Altinger, impressed by winning the Swiss National Championship for Young Riders and she was also placed 4th in her first start at CIC* level with Hilton her Top Eventer from the 2008 Auction.
Maria Sendagorta became Spanish Champion 2009 with her former auction horse Windsor H. The photos show them competing in the CCI*** Saumur 2010.
Tamara Acklin also wrote from Switzerland to tell us that both Light of Polaris and Moustique, her Top Eventers from the 2009 auction, have been successful with placings in their first events for young horses.
Photos above: Light of Polaris and Tamara Acklin (SUI), Photos below: Moustiqe and Tamara Acklin, Avenches 2010
Quintus the top horse at the auction in 2006 has recently changed stables in the USA and is now being ridden by top rider Karen O’Connor, whose aim is the Olympics – perhaps we will see them in London in 2010.
The news from Sweden is also good, Theodor Waren and True Love (2005 auction) are planning to ride the CIC*** in Luhmühlen, having achieved a number of placings at CIC** level in 2010. This year the mare has already collected numerous ribbons in show jumping at ‘M’ level.
True Love and Theodor Wahren (SWE)
The von Hasselt family, who own Eichhof’s World of Action, the striking piebald from last years auction, wrote from Belgium to say that the 5 yr old mare has successfully started in the first events for young horses and that they are looking forward to the rest of the season.
However, there is not just good news from overseas, here in Germany; the Top Eventers are making their mark. Hulingshof’s Winchester with Olympic goldmedallist Andreas Dibowski, have already won two cross country events for young horses.
Hulingshof´s Winchester is beeing competed by Andreas Dibowski as well as by his stableteam rider Franziska Haunhorst.
Juliana Kaup and Limone (2007 auction), member of the Top-Eventers-Team, started the season with a 4th and 8th position in the VL in Hanover and Bad Segeberg, which sounds promising for the rest of the season. Juliana who won the Nachwuchschampionat in 2008 and is member of the regional junior team of Lower Saxony, has now been nominated to ride the National Championships for Juniors.
Thalaso (2005 auction) and Charlotte Frenzel, also members of the Top-Eventers-Team and are hoping to ride at the National Junior Championships, having already achieved the necessary qualifications.
Charlotte Frenzel (left) and Juliana Kaup (right) are members of the Top-Eventers-Team (center).
Chirano (2005 auction) and Pauline Bock competed at CIC* level in 2009 and this year have already qualified to ride at the National Junior Championships by coming 3rd in the VL in Mülheim. Pauline has been a member of the regional junior team in Hessen since 2009.
Sarkozy, the top horse at the auction in 2008 stayed at Elmar Lesch’s stable for further training and has this year already won, with Anna Thea Jacobsen in the saddle, the VL in Bordesholm, where Don Juan M (2007 auction) ridden by Constantin von Ziegner, came 4th.
Sachsen’s Lennox also remained after the 2008 auction, at the owners wish, by Elmar Lesch for further training. This year he has already shown his quality by coming 4th in the Gpf. L in Luhmühlen. Anna Junkmann and Cato Z (2009 auction) came 5th in the same event, having already been placed in the VA in Bordesholm.

Lost Money (2007 auction) ridden by Beeke Kaack will continue competing at CIC**-level this year to get more routine, after already been placed in the ** Indoor Cross Country Events at the Stuttgart Masters 2009 and 2010 in Neumünster.
There is also news from Southern Germany, Michael Jung was 3rd and 13th at the start of the season in a CIC* with Dragon and Don Lovely.

These are all results to be proud of so early on in the season and we look forward to receiving more news and results in the weeks and months to come!
