Breanna and her American rider and owner, Kathleen Raine charmed the expert audience at one of the toughest shows of them all, Aachen. The pair have been serious competitors in the top league of dressage since 2012. The duo won and successfully participated in Specials and Freestyles, with scores of 76.325% and more. In every test, the highlights are the passage and trot half passes.
The Brentano II/Weltmeyer-daughter was born in 2000 at the farm of her breeder, Walter Rauen in Spelle. Her granddam, state premium mare Anabell by Argentinus, is dam of the approved stallions, Los Angeles by Light On and San Brasil by Sao Paulo. Breanna, entered into the Hanoverian studbook with the name Brentina, won her division at the mare show in Aurich-Tannenhausen at the age of three. Ute von Platen, Katharina von Platen and Jörg Dietrich were in charge of the basic riding training of the young mare.
She had great success at the Hanoverian Riding Horse Championships before her owner, Gerhard de Vries, from Zetel, presented the four-year-old Breanna at the 111th Elite Auction in October 2004.
Auction Manager Rainer Kiel described the number 16 of the auction in the auction brochure as an “extraordinary futurity dressage star.” Ridden at the auction by Jörn Ahrens, she left the auction arena as one of the top-priced horses of the collection. Regular Verden customer David Wightman from the US took her home where she developed into one of the most important dressage horses in the US with his wife Kathleen Raine.
The mare was nominated best six-year-old dressage horse in America in 2006. It was very important success as Breanna became a great ambassador of the Hanoverian brand and advertisement for the Verden auctions.
