At the international May Market Tournament in Mannheim, Belissimo M had two excellent performances. On Sunday he was successful with almost 70% in the Grand Prix Special and placed 9th. The tournament doubled as an Olympic selection event for the Australian team with Belissimo as the top performer.

Once more the trusted combination of Belissimo M and Florestan blood has been validated. Our congratulations go to the Helmert family for this filly which is extremely true to type and strong in its movements. The mother (Florestan I x Parademarsch II) was recently inseminated by our Youngster Savoy. We look forward to the foal in 2013 with anticipation.

Belissimo M is going to start at the Maimarkt-Turnier in Mannheim, Germany on May 05th and 6th 2012.

On Sunday, April 1st, 2012, we hosted our breeder's morning get-together at the state riding and driving school in Hoya. The program lasted about 1 and 1/2 hours and saw our three stallions Belissimo M, Fürst Grandios and Savoy acquit themselves excellently, making a very positive impression on the breeders from Hannover, Germany. The morning concluded with free beer and discussions among the breeders.

At the gala evening in MS-Handorf in the lead-up to the NRW Elite Auction, Belissimo M and Hayley Beresford made a much celebrated appearance.

On April 1st, the County Riding and Driving School in Hoya is hosting a morning get-together for breeders. We are delighted to present our current range of stallions on this occasion.

Belissimo M, Fürst Grandios and our young stallion Savoy will be presented under saddle; we will also showcase some foals. During the show free beer and delicious food will be available.

We look forward to welcoming you from 10 am onwards.

Belissimo M has acquired the qualification for the Australian Olympic team of 2012-Olympic games in London. After a 5-year-break in the competition career, Belissimo M could establish himself within a year in the Grand Prix and with its Australian rider ‘Hayley Beresford’ could qualify as the first horse for the Australian team. The team will be nominated after the tournament in Mannheim in May which is the last trial.

Our stallions Savoy, Fürst Grandios and Belissimo M made an impressive entry at this year's stallion show in the Bavarian main- and stud Farm 'Schwaiganger'. On both days of the show the stallions performed excellently in front of the full house. Especially Savoy, rode by Maik Knapmöller, appeared very positive by its second public appearance.

Our association’s stallion show last Tuesday evening with the stallion stations Ludger Beerbaum, Schult and Vornholt was a great success. 21 top stallions were present in the sold-out horse centre in Münster-Handorf. A special highlight was the 1st performance of our stallion ‘Savoy’, the 3 year old horse of Donnerhall-Weltmeyer, who is under the saddle just since a few weeks.
With his rider Heiko Klausing he gave an outstanding performance. Even Belissimo M and Fürst Grandios could beat all expectations.

Hayley Beresford and Belissimo M were awarded 67% and were placed 11th in the Grand Prix this morning, at the international horse show at Neumuenster.
With this performance, the pair has now qualified for the Grand Prix freestyle on Sunday, 19 February 2012.
