Balve: Casino Grande in 6th place in the German Championships

At the 2026 German Show Jumping Championships, Hendrik and Casino Grande once again put in an impressive performance. The pair finished in an excellent sixth place in the final standings. The competition comprised two S**** classes over 1.55m, with a total of four rounds. In the first class, they finished fourth with two clear rounds; in the second, they finished tenth. 

Other horses from our stud also performed successfully at the highest level. In the Balve Championship, an S-level show jumping competition with a jump-off, Diamant de Plaisir II, ridden by Hendrik, finished 14th after a clear round. The nine-year-old Hanoverian was bred and is owned by Gerd Sosath.

Lady Corlina also put in a convincing performance. The twelve-year-old daughter of Casiro I secured a placing in the Big Tour over 1.45m with Hendrik. She too comes from our stud.

There was also good news from the dressage camp. In the Grand Prix Freestyle Final of the German U25 Championships, Aragorn T, ridden by Fiona Serafina Lukas, achieved a score of 74.575 per cent. The Oldenburg gelding is a son of our former stallion Antango.

A descendant also enjoyed success in the German Grand Prix Freestyle Championship. Amanyara M FRH, a daughter of Ampère, took an excellent sixth place under Dr Svenja Kämper-Meyer with a score of 76.9%.

We are delighted with the numerous successes achieved by our home-bred horses and the offspring of our stallions at the German Championships and the competition in Balve. We warmly congratulate all riders, owners and breeders on these outstanding performances.
