Sylvia Rzepka did it again: after her CRI Champion run in Bremen a few weeks ago she won the CRI** in Kreuth on Easter Saturday with DOCTOR ZIP NIC scoring a brilliant 226.5. The two showed a wonderfully smooth and fast pattern 7 with beautiful stops, flat spins and great circles. “I’m so glad,” she said happily after the show. “DOCTOR ZIP NIC simply felt great all the week and even better tonight. He is such a good horse.”DOCTOR ZIP NIC was bred in Italy by Lucio Ferrarini and came to Germany last year. Nico Hoermann won both the Equitana Reining Cup and the Italian Derby with this American Quarter Horse Stallion. The horse was sold later in the year, and Sylvia Rzepka got him. Sylvia was born in Starnberg near Munich and is one of the best German trainers. She and her husband Vern Sapergia operate a training facility close to Vienna, Austria.
German Champion Volker Schmitt and ARC SURPRISE OAK placed second scoring a 224.5. Daniel Schloemer and TOP OF THE TOP placed third (222). Altogether there were 17 horse-rider-combinations in this CRI**.
