Nice being Danish in Ermelo, and even from the distance the qualities from the combinations shines.

Today´s absolute high-light by the 2nd part of the 5 yr old preliminary test was Danish Warmblood gold medal stallion Hesselhøj Donkey Boy by ERA Dancing Hit / Milan, bred by Dorthe and Hans Jørgen Hoeck, owned by Kristin Andresen and ridden by Jan Møller Christensen.

Not that easy going into the arena with the high scores from yesterday´s top combinations in mind, but for sure the plan from experienced rider Jan Møller Christensen and his team was already made before going to Ermelo.

H2R caught Jan for a small comment about the last preparations for Ermelo.

"I strive to ride as I usually ride the last few days before leaving, and is of course aware not to push him to much. Fortunately, Donkey Boy does not need much work, he is very easy to ride. He does not usually look at the surroundings (touch wood), but obviously he is stallion and he keeps an eye on what's happening around him.

I think it's a fantastic horse, and my expectations are initially to show him as good as possible, and then we'll see how far that wil bring us", Jan Møller Christensen told.
