The second champion stallion carries the head number 63 by Cornet Obolensky/Baldini II (breeder and exhibitor: Qatar Armed Forces, Zülpich). His dam has been talked about a lot. She is no less than the mare Bella Donna, who was successful in international advanced level competitions under the saddle of Meredith Michales Beerbaum. Among their greatest successes are their participation in the 2012 Olympic Games in London and their victory in the Nations Cup in Hickstead. "A stallion that still appears youvenile, with great reaction and a lot of ability with overview and caution - Bella Donna sends her regards," Thomas Münch summarized the performance of the brown. The Reserve Champion Stallion with head number 64 is also a son of the much sought after Cornet Obolensky. Franka Zanetti from Italy bred the gray out of a dam by Canturano. The typey stallion convinced the commission in all parts with his quality.

The jumping stallions also showed up first on the triangle course Tuesday morning. This was followed by a free jumping test in the usual form with a free jumping grid. On Wednesday morning there was a novelty in free jumping. In the second presentation the candidates for the licensing presented themselves only over a single jump. The new task was mastered by the stallions with bravura. A pilot project that was met with great approval. "The findings we have seen here today have given us, as the licensing commission, a lot of information about the quality of the stallions presented," Thomas Münch summarized.
