Huge Danish imprint again today at Le Mans
Danish Anne Troensegaard and 12 year old Trakehner gelding Kipling TSF by Hofrat / Hohenstein took an impressive victory today at Le Mans. It was just their 2nd international Grand Prix freestyle and also their 2nd international big tour event ever. The overall picture of Anne and Kipling is very positive, always super nice in the contact, powerful, attentive and really together about the job in the arena.
It was a brand new freestyle which suited the combination very nicely. The freestyle is composed by Nicole Pendzich (Kuermusik.de) also composer of freestyle for Olympic gold winner TSF Dalera BB and Jessica von Bredow-Werndl.
Anne and Kipper (stable name) has been together since Kipling was a youngster and back in 2017 as 7 year old they took bronze at World Championships for Young Horses in Ermelo. Anne and Kipling has over the years been trained by Danish top trainer Rune Willum. Kipling is bred by Peter Christensen and is still owned by the breeder and Anne Troensegaard together.
With this weekends results they are definitely ready for the next challenges hopefully at the international event at home soil in Herning in March and maybe Hagen in April, to gain more international experience.
Placed 4th in their first international Grand Prix freestyle was Danish Nanna Merrald with Gørklintgårds Quater Boy.
22 year old German Semmieke Rothenberger with Flanell by Apache / Blue Hors Don Schufro made their entrance at the senior scene with two strong performances this weekend. Today they came 2nd with a strong 76,180% performance.
Belgium Larissa Pauluis with Flambeau by Ampere / Zeoliet was originally discovered by Dr. Kerstin Klieber at the KWPN licensing, later sold to Tinne Vilhelmson-Silfvén and now successful with Belgium Larissa. A very expressive well moving and talented horse.
Here you find the entire results.
