The final of the Gert Gussmann Cup 2024 took place at the CHI Donaueschingen this year. The superior winner was a descendant of Vivaldos, who goes by the name of Vivaldinio and is out of a Zack dam. The breeder and owner is Fritz Fleischmann. Ines Fleischmann was in the saddle.

"[...] She steered Vivaldinio to a superior victory. As the first pair to start, Ines Fleischmann and the compact Vivaldos offspring (MV by Zack), bred and owned by Fritz Fleischmann, set a first benchmark with a final score of 8.56 , which none of the 14 starting pairs were able to top thereafter.

The trot was a real highlight. Enormous movement dynamics, a high level of rhythmic security and a lot of impulsion with always good unity from the active hind leg led to a score of 8.8 in trot. The walk has sufficient overstride [...]

The canter was convincing with a good uphill tendency and already securely closed, resulting in an 8.5. The likeable DSP gelding was also rewarded with an 8.5 for permeability . The judges delved even deeper into the score box for the overall impression and awarded him a 9.0. It will be interesting to see what else we will hear from this talent in the future!"
