Danish Warmblood in top of today’s 5 year old class
For the 5 year old preliminary test today the Danish Warmblood World champion Hesselhøj Down Town showed his outstanding qualities entering the arena as it was just his arena and just wanted to show off together with Jeanna Högberg. Fully focused and powerful all the way, for some moments the tempo for the trot tour became a bit to much forward, but nevertheless he never lost momentum. Scoring: Trot 10 - walk 9.5 - canter 10 - ride ability 10 - capacity 9.8 = total 98,600.
2nd today Tophøjs Diadora with another outstanding performance from Spanish Eric Guardia Martinez. His way of showing the mare and keeping her focused all the way even though the canter tour today becomes with some tensions and not really a 9,0.
The mare Svalegårds Hot Zalina with Michael Grønne Christensen is a pure Grand Prix horse but still only 5 year old.
With Fynch Hatton Andreas Helgstrand has another high quality stallion under saddle. From H2R point of view his trot tour today was even better than Down Town as it was more controlled all the way, but still only scoring 9,3!
The 12 best from today are ready for the finals Sunday. Remember you can purchase access for live stream at Zibrasport.tv for just 20 euro.

Just WOW test from Kasprzak Dressage rider Josefine Hoffmann with the mare RGS Finest Alegra. Super supple, obedient, correct, expressive, well balanced and not least today’s most soft and steady contact - a real dream test. They definitely look like a clear champion combination. They were well deserved rewarded with a 10 for ride ability. Scoring: Trot 9.3 - walk 9.7 - canter 9 - ride ability 10 - capacity 9.5 = total 95.000
New combination Allan Grøn with Sezuan søn Suarez as he was recently sold to Signe Kirk Kristiansen. They showed a strong performance and like at WCYH in Verden he seems to very honest and rideable in the arena.
Rikke Dupont showed her super mare Nova with a lovely test, today with a bit of tensions for the walk tour, but very convincing and expressive trot tour and super canter tour. Super steady contact and nice frame.
Sweetnes with Silje Bakken brings something extra today with a bit of tensions for the walk tour.
