Bundeschampionate
German
Young Horse Championships
Warendorf, Germany
2 - 5 September 1999
Pilgrim's
Red and Ines Westendarp
 Building
up a small point difference with first placed Branduardi
M in the qualifying round of the 1999 Bundeschampionate
for 3 year old Dressage Pony Stallions, Pilgrim's Red
destiny was determined by guest riders Hella Kuntz and
Jana Freund. Hella Kuntz, a steady rider of the Westphalian
Auction Team and participant in the Championships herself
with the Westphalian Florestan I descendant Ferryman,
decided to give the Weser Ems bred stallion the lead.
"He has a little more spice in his body than Branduardi
M," she said. Second guest rider and talented pony rider
herself, Jana Freund, gave a total of 9.0 to Pilgrim's
Red. The stallion's overall score was 58.65, which resulted
in his coronation with the championship's laurel. Pilgrim's
rider Ines Westendarp also won the 3 year old pony mare
and gelding class with the high potential Dornick B
son Di Baggio.
Ines
Westendarp qualified Pilgrim's Red for the Championships
by strikingly winning his age class at the Weser Ems
Reitpony Championships at the Castle Park in Rastede,
Oldenburg, in July. The chestnut is sired by Principal
Boy out of a Black Boy dam. Breeder and owner Heike
Timmerman from Wardenburg offered her pony to Ines Westendarp
at the beginning of the 1999 show season.
