At the CSI2* in Lier two offspring of our stallions were winning classes
last weekend. Under James Smith, the Ustinov-son Simply Splendid jumped
to victory in the 1.40m speed class, and Markus Merschformann took the
first prize in the two-phase 1.40m riding the Westphalian bred L’Esprit-son
Global Lifestyle.
At the national show in Heiden, Germany, Hendrik Dowe competed with
Donnergirl 19 (Donthargos x Lupicor, bred by Michael Steinbrecher), making
a strong impression.
Emanuele Gaudiano secured an Italian victory last Saturday with Vasco
118, a son of Vivant van de Heffinck. At the CSI5* in Fontainebleau, they
were the undisputed winners of the Table A 1.50m class.
