Incubator for success
For years, the World Breeding Dressage Championships for Young Horses that was previously organized in the German Verden, has been a breeding-ground for later success. Already during the first edition in 1999, when the world championships title was bestowed on the top progenitor Sandro Hit. His incomparable influence in sports and breeding is evident. De Niro-son Deveraux, recent European champion in the GP-U25, was victorious in the 2006 edition. Olympic Games-participants Painted Black (Gribaldi), Uzzo (Lancet) and Damon Hill (Donnerhall) took their first steps of their impressive international career at the World Breeding Dressage Championships for Young Horses.
