- “The applause of the spectators makes any comment superfluous” announced the judges Hauke Luther and Joachim Geilfus with regard to the winner in the class of the 3-year-olds. With the best technique over the jump and much capability – both evaluated with a 9,5 - the daughter of Up to date (breeder and owner Christoph Herdering, Heek) recommended itself at the second day of the free-jumping in the Oldenbuger Pferde Zentrum Vechta.

The third place went to a bay mare by Grandeur-Lancer II which was presented by its breeder and owner Jürgen Kurz from Frielendorf.

- The decision at the more than 30 nominated 4-year-olds was dominated by a bay Oldenburger stallion with the catalogue number 57 which was certified “much overview and a very good jumping manner” by the two judges. The breeder of the son of Lordanos-Liberty M was Stefan Leue from Rottstock, exhibitor the Gestüt Buckautal in Buckau. Place two was secured by a chestnut stallion by Cordalmé-Parabol coming from the breeder Hartmut Gruenloh, Quakenbrück. Third was a bay gelding by Landgold-Wanderer by the breeder and owners Karl-Heinz and Bärbel Auffarth, Ganderkesee.

- The Nation Price rider Hauke Luther and the international judge Joachim Geilfuß praised the high quality and good preparation of the horses shown. “Here in Vechta many talents could be found” said Hauke Luther with a hint to the active dealing. - The third day of the free-jumping is scheduled for January 2007.
