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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
