In
the weekend of 4th till 6th September, the German Olympic
Committee for Equestrian sports (DOKR) opened
its premises in Warendorf to host the 1998 German Championships
for Young Dressage and Showjumping Horses. This festivity
is one of the most important German shows, where future
champions can be found. A large amount of the competing
horses will switch owners right after the championships.
Potential buyers gather here to follow the movements,
character and rideability of their favorite youngster.
But also the actual owners are sitting there with pride
to see how their horse got through the tough selection
procedures and how they were able to compete in these
finals. During the year several qualifiers were to be
ridden before a combination could start at this championship.
Only the best of the best are allowed to come to Warendorf!
The whole championship is, according to age, divided
into speciall classes for stallions, for mares and geldings,
for ponies and horses, for showjumpers, dressage horses
and three day eventing youngsters. The winning horses
of each class not only receive nice ribbons and a wreath
of laurels, but also get world wide recognition of quality
and potential. Some of the winning horses will
be/were sold in the Elite Auctions of the Hanoverian,
Westphalian and Oldenburger verband. Their selling value
is as dazzling as their achievements. Wahajama, last
year's top auction horse (sold for $300.000) won the
four year old mare class this year . Lord Sinclair (sold
for $1.600.00) won the four year old stallion class,
and also Richard Kimble (sold at the Oldengburger auction
in Vechta) became Reserve Champion under Isabelle
Werth in the 4 year old gelding class. These champions
will be future Olympic horses, watch out for them!
