Eurodressage
F.O.C.U.S.
Holga Finken and Wanesco
Silver
medal winners in the 5-year-old division at the 2001
World Championships for young dressage horses were Holga
Finken and Wanesco. Considered to be the most promising
young horse of the 5-year-olds at the Championships,
Wanesco put down three sublime performances which gave
away many glimpses of his talent and potential.
With 400 points in total, Wanesco was one point behind
the first placed Rubels and Hans Peter Minderhout. Nonetheless,
did Wanesco not lack in quality to the Oldenburg champion.
Under Holga Finken's professional horsemanship, Wanesco
was fourth in the first round with 8.4. points, was
second in the second round and dominated the finals
with 9.0 points.
Owned by Fritz Böhm from Worpswede and bred by
Kurt Pelk from WIndsbach, Germany, Wanesco is by Weltmeyer
out of a Werther dam and is registered with the Bavarian
Verband.
