Rosselini was the most expensive horse at the 37th Vechta Special. This gray gelding by Royal Diamond – Oldtimer xx, bred by Heinrich Westermann in Visbek, was sold to Celine Anciaux and Michel Toussaint for 25,500 Euro. This couple from Belgium also own Rubins Figaro (by Rubinstein – Figaro, bred by Dirk Gloystein in Großenmeer), who became the 2002 Vice Champion of four year old dressage horses and the 2004 Champion of six year old dressage horses in Belgium.

While Rosellini will be going abroad, the second most expensive horse, Dezemberfreude, who sold for 22,000 Euro, will remain in Germany. This Don Larino – Rouletto daughter bred by Hermann Dirks in Maisidden was sold to Lina-Sofie Böckmann. This young rider, who is on the Weser-Ems young rider team and a member of the riding club in Langförden, took the State Championships title in Rastede for the third time in a row.
