Not so much to say - just:
And have a look at their test here.
Both Patrik van der Meer with President´s First Apple and Kirsten Brouwer with both Sultan des Paluds and Ferdeaux looks very sharp for the next spots.
But said that, they have to be aware of the German combination Senta Kirchhoff with L`Arbuste (Danish bred by Stud Firfod) by Skovens Rafael / Zardin Firfod, and the Danish combination Anne Troensegaard with Kipling - both with top horses, with small tensions for some exercises today. If they are settled down for the final the ladies and their horses with for sure go for a spot at the podium (no secret, but Danish Anne Troensegaard has already proclaimed that she will go for a Danish 2020 Olympic team spor with Kipling).

Danish Warmblood stallion Blue Hors Zee Me Blue and Daniel Bachmann Andersen had a few smaller issues today, with a lack of beat for the first diagonal, and lost balance in the first pirouette which both became a bit expensive. Placed no 8.

Andreas Helgstrand and Springbank VH, representing Sweden had some lovely moments but it was clear that Springbank did not really settle in the huge arena today. Placed no 11.

She came last - but last with the attractive direct ticket for the final
The truth about young Danish combination Louise Lind and Jubi´s Tenacity is that they actually came out of the blue for the World Championships.

After making a great debut at national S-level a friend of Louise asked her to sign in for the Danish selection, and there she went, with her sisters horse, as she was ment to ride Tenacity just when her sister was studying abroad.
Went to the first selection and went on for the final selection and got nominated for World Championships.
Now in Ermelo, and as humble as she is, she just told (at an interview at Hestemagasinet) about her experience being at Ermelo and just wishing she would not end up last. She got last, but last with the final ticket direct into the finals for the 7 yr old horses - what an achivement, for the young Danish amateur lady studying Law at the university in Denmark, beside riding her sisters horse.
