Provided by International Horse Press—The 2022 NRHA Germany Breeders Derby closed the show with the Open Derby Finals at the Pferdesportzentrum Ostbayern in Kreuth, Germany, on Saturday evening. Just like the previous day, 69 horse-rider combinations made their way to the final round.

Dominik Reminder didn’t plan to show BMS Walla Getcha Gun (Walla Whiz Crome x Ally Get Your Gun) at the beginning of the show, but it so happened that he ended up in the saddle of Kerstin Müller’s stallion and their stellar performance was awarded by the judges paying them a 222 score to top the Levels (L)4 and 3.
