Prix St. Georg
Helgstrand Dressage rider Betina Jæger Jensen and the 10 year old KWPN stallion Franklin by Ampere / Ferro are really showing their qualities together. Franklin is very focused in the arena and showing impressive power and suppleness for the trot work, the walk is good with clear beat all the time, while the canter for some moments mainly for the series becomes a bit tense, but all the way well managed from Betina. No doubt we will see much from them at the competitions, but might be just early spring or autumn, as Franklin is highly frequented by the breeders during the breeding season.
Young Alexander Helgstrand shows really nice tests, and his timing and way of showing the horses seems to be very sharp considering his young age. This weekend for the first time with two small tour horses, as he just moved up late last year from pony to junior level, and now showing two horses at young rider level, this weekend debut together with Fiorano.
Ditte Mikkelsen is very experienced at this level and shows with the big Quaterback son, Quite a Look Ovenskov that she is able to collect valuable points all the way, unfortunately the walk tour keeping the out of the absolute top of the field today.
H2R favourite of today’s Prix St. Georg was 9 year old S.O.A.L by Sorento with Carina Cassøe Krüth. A very complete horse. Supple mover in all 3 gaits, lovely power expression and no weaknesses, but still a little green for the series. A very exciting horse for the future.

Intermédiaire I
Anne Troensegaard and Fürstenblick by Fürstenball showed a strong test, and the big gelding is really working together with and for Anne all the way. Super power and timing from experienced Anne Troensegaard.
Another experienced lady in top of the field was Betina Laisbo with Danish Warmblood gold medal mare Gørklintgårds Brody, showing a supple and effortless test.
Hardworking Atterupgaard rider Selina Solberg Vittinghus has really developed the now 10 year old Krack C son Atterupgaards Kawasaki, and he now shows great qualities at this level.
Both Anne Troensegaard and Selina Solberg Vittinghus are regularly trained by Rune Willum.
