Price giving at CDI3 Prix St. Georg
Dressage people are meeting up again in Denmark, but this time it´s at Vilhelmsborg in a smaller and much more local atmosphere, but still of course with the international mood.
CDIU25
In the morning the new international Lövsta Future Challenge U25 took place and here Danish Karoline Rohmann with Jakas Don Luvre won with 72,000%. Karoline and Don Louvre recently were one of the combinations at Nathalie Masterclass at Broholm castle. And as Karoline said “I really loved being part of this Masterclass, and today Nathalie again was ready to help me at the warm up. I’m so pleased about her help and advices, as she just gives me and Don Louvre some new and successful tools”, tells a very happy Karoline.
CDI-J
Next up was CDIJ freestyle won by Swedens Laura Laustsen with Fairy Tale follow by Denmarks Annabelle Rehn with Nikitaro, and with Germany´s Rose Oatley and Rock Revolution in third position. The overall impression from this junior freestyle was very solid performances. The Danish junior combinations showed well balanced performances with good qualities.
CDI3 Prix St. Georg
International small tour victory for Danish Nanna Merrald with Blue Hors Touch of Olympic. Well balanced trot tour, super walk tour, good active collected walk with good pirouettes and super extended walk, bit tense for half passes with flying change between, good half pirouettes, nice 4 times but with an error for the 3 times.
Helen Langehanenberg showed the light footed black mare Zaeta de Malleret by Zonik / Sir Donnerhall I.
International debut for Cathrine Laudrup-Dufour with the 7 year old Swedish bred Vividus QRE by Zaladin MI / Don Charly, co-owned between Cathrine and Family Zinglersen. Type wise very much like Bohemian, lovely expression in a light frame and contact. Vividus shows three really good basic paces with really nice freedom and qualities, for the canter tour he still shows some insecure and bit tense moments.
Also new at international level was 7 year old gelding Grand Galiano by Grand Galaxy Win / Blue Hors Don Schufro ridden by Rikke Dupont, and bred by Lotte and Gert Buchave and co-owned by the rider. They were also qualified for last weeks Danish national young horse championships but made instead their international debut with a top placement. Super nice overall presentation without any technical issues and all the way in a very nice frame, from the side line they could easily have been among the top 3.

Andreas Helgstrand and Queenparks Wendy showed a solid test without any technical issues, like also Dorothee Schneider with Sisters Act MT OLD, placed 3rd was the fairly young Danish Grand Prix combination 9 year old Danish Warmblood gelding Favour Gersdorf by Foundation / Leandro with Nadja Sloth in the saddle. A long time partnership and now together all the way into international Grand Prix level, where they have showed a nice development especially for the piaffe tours with much more security, sit and balance.
Olympic reserve combination Charlotte Heering and Bufranco were back in the arena showing a good test and placed 4th. Last placed was Marianne Helgstrand with Super Mario showing an error free test.
