Lessing has been crowned the 2008 National Champion of Champions Young Dressage Horse for 2008.

The Judges were from Australia (Maria Schwennesen), Canada's FEI international "O" Judge Kara Whitham.

During Ricky's test ride Canadian judge Cara Whitham used the following keywords about Lessing:

  • beautifully naturally balanced
  • breathtaking
  • horse of a quality to go to the World Breeding Championship
  • like a metronome in his rhythm and balance with incredible work ethic
  • a true quality horse
  • and that we better should 'padlock his stall' tonight!

At the HoY 2008 Vollrath Lessing won his class 508 (Stallion for breeding performance bred horses) and was also crowned "Reserve Champion" of the 4 yr old and over Performance bred led sport horses.

This was the only entry for Lessing at the HoY with the purpose to expose him to the 'atmosphere' of such a great show.

He had was totally "cool" and very responsive to Jutta's commands = simply perfectly behaved!
