At the 1999 Louis-Wiegels Show in Germany (Germany's National Mare Show) St.Pr.St. Wildflower (Wolkenstein II /Cavalier) was Champion of the Young (2 and 3 year old) Filly Group. Reserve Champion was a two-year old Fabriano/Prince Orac xx daughter. Champion of the Middle-Aged (4-7 year olds) Mares was St.Pr.St. Carmina Burana (Carbid/Gelria). Reserve Champion was St.Pr.St.Weline P (Wanderer/Garibaldi II). St.Pr.St.Walt Lady (Walt Disney/Lemon xx) was Champion of the 7 and 8 year old Mares.

At the Mare Performance Test during the afternoon of the Louis Weigels Show St.Pr.St. Gina (Grand Cru/Wendehals) received the highest score, 8.5.
Note: St.Pr.St. denotes German States Premium Mare, a coveted status for German Hanoverian mares comparable to American Hanoverian Elite Mares (EM) which must achieve at least a '7' on their inspection scores, and pass a Mare's Performance Test with a score of at least '7'. Elite and States Premium Mares must produce a foal to complete the requirements - thus encouraging top quality mares to produce foals which will improve the Hanoverian breed.
