A successful weekend at the international competitions in Neustadt/Dosse and Basel (SUI) lies behind several Verband stallions and their riders.

Lucas Wenz had travelled to Neustadt/Dosse, where the licensing of the German Sport Horse was held in conjunction with a CSI. With Vigado by Vigo d’Arsouilles-Quo Vados I (Witt Pferdezucht GbR, Wellinghusen), line 776, he won the final of the Youngster Tour. The just seven-year-old remained clear in all rounds, already placed in the second jumping class of the tour, and was then unbeatable in the final for seven- and eight-year-olds.

United Way by Uriko-Concerto II (Holsteiner Verband, Elmshorn), line 1916, jumped with Lucas Wenz to an outstanding seventh place in the 1.45-metre championship, which counted towards the LONGINES Ranking. Following his placing in the Grand Prix of Riesenbeck, this is the second time within a very short period that he collected points for the ranking.

Meanwhile, Richard Vogel was at the start in Basel with Crack HV by Cornet Obolensky-Candillo (Campos Cria de Caballos de Deporte), line 1020, adding two international placings over 1.50 metres to the grey stallion's list of successes: With ranks four and seven, the two are travelling back to Pfungstadt in Hesse.
