Elvis VA Wins the 2005 Otto Lörke Prize
November 13, 2005
 Nadine Capellmann's Hanoverian gelding Elvis VA has
won the 2005 Otto Lörke Prize, which honours Germany's
most successful upcoming Grand Prix horse of the year.
Elvis VA won the Nurnberger Burgpokal Finals at small
tour level last year in Frankfurt, and has shown his
potential in the Grand Prix ring in 2005 by placing
at the top of the leader board at several important
shows such as at the CDIO Aachen.
Elvis VA is a 1996 born Hanoverian by Espri x Garibaldi
II. He was purchased by Martin Schaudt at the 2000
Verden Elite Spring Auction for 57,500 euro. In 2002,
Elvis became property of Nadine Capellmann. The Krefeld
based Heiner Schiergen trained Elvis VA up to FEI level
and still assists Capellmann weekly in the training
of the sensitive gelding.
It is the 22nd time that the Otto Lorke Preis has
been awarded by the German Olympic Equestrian Committee
(DOKR). Last year, Alexandra Simons-de Ridder's Wellington
was the recipient of the prize. The Otto Lorke prize
for best trainer of 2005 went to Martin Schaudt and
Heiner Schiergen.
