Spanish Championships of Riding and Dressage Horses

The Spanish Championships of Riding and Dressage Horses “Campeonato de España Doma Clásica Caballos Jóvenes” took place in Murcia from September 21 to 24.

The title in the four-year-old class won the Zackerey/Falsberbo son Zeihar (breeder: Dr. Christina Beuke, Lilienthal), presented by Carlos Bayo Calvo. Third place went to Milow SN by Millennium/Sir Donnerhall (breeder: Nicole Wanning, Schüttorf) with Manuel Pérez Valle. Yeguada Sola Nogales Stud had secured him at the Verden Foal Auction in 2019.

Two Secret sons decided the championship of five-year-olds for themselves. Champion was the Rhineland registered Saltes TR by Secret/De Niro (breeder: Dirk Lohmann, Schermbeck) with Juan Mauel Acosta Ponce. It was a favorites’ win, the two had been eleventh at the World Championships in Ermelo/NED. Second place went to the DWB stallion Sick-Sack with Sergio Morón Basoco. Director’s Cut by Destacado/Sandro Hit (breeder: Wilfried Immoor, Wagenfeld) and Javier Higuera Carmona took the bronze medal. The licensed stallion saw the Verden Auction arena twice: at the licensing in 2020 and one year later at the Elite Auction.

Semino SN by Scolari/Fürstenreich (breeder: Michaela Pridöhl, Grethem) took bronze in the championships for eight- and nine-year-olds with Manuel Pérez Valle. The chestnut had found his way to the Iberian Peninsula to the same stable as Milow SN via the Verden Auction in July 2019.
