Welcome by the boss himself, Andreas Helgstrand
3 hours intensive top stallion show this afternoon from Helgstrand Dressage
Not a single spot was free, and everything was top polished for today, and all effort was put into this big afternoon in the name of the stallions and the breeders.
“Lets breed some horses that people wanna buy”
23 stallions with extraordinary qualities were shown under saddle.
So many super stars at the same place - qualities for World Championships for Young Horses
In 2017 Helgstrand Dressage young horses were major players at World Championships for Young Horses, and from today´s presentation the excitement for 2018 is obvious.
H2R favorite list is just getting too long. Here are some of them:
Valverde - 4 yr old. This young stallion has developed so much the last year, and looks like a boy with the whole package. My personal top favorite.
Kadans - 3 yr old reserve champion from KWPN licensing and from the 1st crop of Franklin offsprings, shows super qualities in all 3 gaits.
Tørvesletten Sylvester - 4 year old with a lot of natural suppleness in the body and at the same time he looks like there are small step too. 3 supple super gaits.
Springbank II VH - open framed positive power mover. 3 extra gaits.
New and never seem before was a 4 yr old stallion James Helena PP by Zack / Laudabilis. Lovely confirmation and super supple mover. He will be presented for Danish Warmblood late licensing.
Well known and very well educated
Grand Galaxy Win - he is now 7 year old and has proved himself as a very attractive producer of quality offsprings. Today with a very good presentation with Severo, where Severo was telling a bit about his riding and training of Grand Galaxy (video clip below).
8 year old Franklin was shown under Kenneth Damgaard, and they seems to fit eachother very well. You just have to watch out for Franklins offsprings, as he is such a strong horse himself (body wise) and is also very well under way with his education.
You can of course watch the entire show at Clipmyhorse archive.
