December 17, 2007
Austrian Victoria Max-Theurer and her 7-year old Augustin
OLD won the 2007 Nurnberg Burgpokal Finals, which is
the most important Prix St Georges show circuit in
Germany. With a lead of 35 points, Max-Theurer reigned
supreme on the Oldenburger August der Starke
x Rohdiamant offspring. They scored 73.80% in the final
class, the Prix St Georges Special.
Only a month ago, Augustin was the cover hero of the
St. Georg magazine, this month he won the prestigious
Nurnberg Burgpokal. At age 7, he is one of the most
successful small tour horses in the world, with more
than 20 victories at S-level on his list of achievements.
The phenomenally talented Augustin is bed by Vici's
mother Sissy Max-Theurer.
"I couldn't have wished for a better result than this,"
Victoria Max-Theurer said. "I'm very happy that Augustin
showed his great potential for collection well. He
was just fantastic, concentrated himself well and made
no mistakes. What a horse!"
The runner up was Oliver Oelrich on the licensed stallion
Show Star (by Sandro Hit x Feinbrand). Owned by stallion
station Holkenbrink, Show Star is a former Bundeschampion
and now successful small tour horse. He finished second
with 72.050%, while his rider Oelrich won the finals
for the riders on the Sunday by winning the kur.
Finishing third were the winners of the warm up round,
Matthias Alexander Rath and Ann Kathrin Linsenhoff's
chestnut Hanoverian Weltmeyer Junior (by Weltmeyer).
The pair scored 72.000%.
