Show Report of Taufkirchen/Germany Horse Show
June 21, 2006 (Press Release) --
Huge success at this year’s annual Dressage and Jumping Show at Taufkirchen/Bavaria in Germany (16.-18.6.2006) for Acajou and Seven Up, the two Bavarian government-owned state stud breeding stallions of Schwaiganger, currently competing under the saddle of German international pro rider Uwe Schwanz.
Acajou won the most difficult jumping class of the show, a highly challenging two-phase class M/B course. Almost every rider who competed had problems negotiating the difficult course, characterized by some extremely tricky combinations and distances, meaning that Schwanz and Acajou were the only pair to go clear and won by miles. The 6-year old stallion, by Asti Spumante, was not only the flashiest but also the most scopey jumper there, displaying world class excellence as he sailed over the jumps with his rider, making nothing of them. This impressed and caused jubilation not only from the side of the audience, rider, and accompanying Schwaiganger grooms. Unable to contain his excitement was also a very important visitor: Mr. Wilfried Herkommer, Director of the Bavarian Sports Horse Association.
“Bavarian Warmblood horses are well and truly on the rise, internationally.” Mr. Herkommer enthused, speaking to a reporter of the Australian online magazine “The Virtual Equestrian”. “With Astis Spumante and his two sons, Acajou and Arrivederci, there are currently three top Bavarian jumping stallions from the state stud of Schwaiganger on the circuit. Of course, the advantage of a state-owned stud is that the financial means are available to get the top riders in the nation to show the horses: Thomas Muehlbauer for Asti Spumante and Uwe Schwanz for Acajou and Arrivederci. Having riders of that quality, in combination with the horses’ ability, virtually guarantees their success on the circuit.”
Rider Uwe Schwanz (www.uweschwanz.com)was also overjoyed at the performance of his mount. “Today, Acajou exceeded even my highest expectations by the way he negotiated this extremely difficult course with an amazing ease,” he beamed. “He went over the most difficult jumps as though they were nothing at all. I think I am not exaggerating when I predict a great future on the circuit for this horse.”
The other Schwaiganger-owned stallion currently being ridden by Uwe Schwanz, Seven Up by the legendary jumping sire Stakkato, dam by Eiger I, was also in the ribbons: he won the FEI jumping test for young horses, category A, putting a big smile on the face of his rider and that of his accompanying grooms from Schwaiganger.
