Godt 300 personer var med online på aftenens Blue Hors Webinar

Martin Klavsen fra Blue Hors samt DV´s avlsledelse Claus Hansen, Johnny Sørensen og Bjarne Nielsen

Præsentation af Blue Hors hingste og spørgsmål til DV´s avlsledelse

Efter nogle tekniske begynder vanskeligheder startede de ca 1,5 time med at Martin Klavsen fra Blue Hors bød velkommen og præsenterede et par af de nye unge hingste og et par lidt ældre, hvorefter avlsledelsen var live. Martin Klavsen var klar med både egne spørgsmål og spørgmål fra “publikum”.

Her var man bl.a. inde på årets hingstekåring, hvor avlsledelsen bl.a. fortalte at man havde selekteret skarpt blandt de 52 unge hingste som var udtaget til kåringen, hvoraf alene 20 hingste blev kåret. Kvaliteten af hingstene som tilbydes de danske avlere er unik, og man ønsker kun de allerbedste individer.

Nye tiltag i 2021

Avlsledelsen forklarede også brugen af den linære registrering ved hingstekåringen, samtidig med at man også til stationsafprøvning af hopper har afskaffet testrytter delen.

Hingstekåring og arrangementer

Direktør for Dansk Varmblod Casper Cassøe kigger tilbage på det seneste svære år, men ser samtidig frem til både efterårets eliteskue og næste års hingstekåring i Herning, inden det senere i 2022 bliver VM tid.

Casper Cassøe gav også tydeligt udtryk for at avl af heste også følelser og bløde værdier, og man skal huske at mange avler ved siden af de har et job. Det er en hobby, selvfølgelig også med drømme om både høje salgspriser og succes på banerne.

Danmarks største sportsbegivenhed i 2022 er VM i Herning, og her vil Dansk Varmblod ikke kun være repræsenteret på banerne, men også selve elitefølskuet og elitefølauktionen vil blive afholdt under VM i Herning i 2022, som jo vil give et helt særligt fokus Dansk Varmblod.

Martin Klavsen sluttede af med et smil på læben over den lidt svære start på online aftenen.

Aftenens webinar vil blive tilgængeligt på et senere tidspunkt.

Status på de danske ekvipagers kvalifikationer frem mod OL til sommer i Tokyo

De danske forberedelser frem mod OL

Med den længe ventede “nye” stævnekalender er der naturligvis også danske ekvipager som skal ud at hente de vigtige OL kvalifikationer i hus.

A-truppen og B-truppen består i dag af følgende ryttere:

H2R fangede chef d´equipe Anne-Mette Binder for en lille status på hvilke ekvipager der mangler OL kvalifikation.

“Vi glæder os alle sammen rigtig meget til det går løs igen, og lige nu står CDI4 i Hagen på vores liste.

Nanna Merrald mangler én kvalifikation med i alt 3 heste, Blue Hors Zack, Atterupgaards Orthilia og Blue Hors St. Schufro. Det samme gør Andreas Helgstrand med Fiontini og Cathrine Dufour med Vamos Amigos.

Daniel Bachmann har vist godt takter ved blandt andet træning og programridning, og “banker på” til store opgaver med både Carso'ni og Marshall-Bell, men mangler pt. begge kvalifikationer,” fortælle Anne-Mette Binder.

4 year old Iron named Champion at Danish Warmblood stallion licensing

The elegant black Iron showed himself a bit “teenager like” at the pre-inspection but has since developed externally in the right direction. The judges further describe him as noble and of excellent type, and then he is very supple and very well moving in all three gaits. He is also top notch in terms of interior design and always offers himself. His combination of being electric and well-considered makes him almost the ideal dressage horse, and he has also achieved a super test result with almost 900 points.

Here you find the list of other 4 year old Danish Warmblood licensed stallions with accepted performance test.

Among the 4 year old stallions with limited approval:

• Blue Hors Fortron approved for 2021 and 2022,

Short Grand Prix now implemented in the rules for the new World Cup season 2021/2022

The new Short Grand Prix test is now officially implemented for the 2021-2022 World Cup season. Back in November at the 2020 FEI General Assembly it was decided that the Short Grand Prix test was going to be part of the World Cup in order to make it more entertaining and at the same time also a way to shortening the first day at the World Cup.

DRESSAGE

Rules Update from FEI

On Wednesday 16 March, the FEI Board approved the FEI Dressage World Cup™ Rules 2021-2022 – North American League (NAL), and the FEI Dressage World Cup™ Rules 2021-2022 – Pacific League (PAL).

Informationsmøde med DRF på Teams vedr. EHV-1 virus

Virus er altid derude - lige nu med eksplosiv udbrud i Valencia, men er set i hele verden, og senest (iflg. worldofshowjumping) med et smittetilfælde i Belgien med en hest som er hjemvendt fra det international stævne i Doha.

I aften var DRF vært ved det første ud af to planlagte online informationsmøder omkring EHV-1 virus. Det næste møde finder sted på onsdag kl. 19.30, og er i samme format som i dag, og er tænkt som en mulighed for at hestefolket kan få svar på spørgsmål omkring den meget smitsomme virus.

DRF var repræsenteret ved DRF’s veterinærkonsulent Mette Uldahl samt elitechef Kimi Nielsen som kort redegjorde for udviklingen i smitten i Europa.

Derefter fortalte Mette Uldahl om bl.a. virkningen af vaccination, karantæneregler, og smittens udvikling.

I det sene efterår var der en større smittespredning i Nordsjælland som man også så i starten af året i år, men som nu synes at være under kontrol. Derudover har man set smitte blandt fritidsheste i Silkeborg/Århus området, også med enkelte konstaterede tilfælde blandt rideheste.

Kimi Nielsen fortalte at DRF følger de danske ekvipager tæt når de kommet hjem fra udlandet, og det betyder bl.a. at Delatio med Dennis Fisker som var til start på i Doha lige nu er i obligatorisk 28 dages karantæne. (Ligesom resten af stalden dermed også er i karantæne).

Aftenens online møde blev optaget, og vil på et senere tidspunkt kunne ses på Rideforbund.dk.

Dansk Varmblods hingstekåring 2021 er startet i dag

Reduceret format for årets hingstekåring i Dansk Varmblod tilpasset de gældende restriktioner

Første del af årets hingstekåring i Dansk Varmblod er startet i dag med springhingstene, hvor kåringskommisionen er draget på “kåringsturné” rundt til de enkelte hingsteholdere.

Fra på torsdag starter kåringen af dressurhingstene, hvor man tålmodigt må vente med en større opdatering og de endelige resultater sammen med videooptagelser som bliver offentliggjort mandag morgen.

Ialt er der 46 unge dressurhingste tilmeldt kåringen. Kataloget findes via det nye hingstekåringssite - link nedenfor.

Nye tilpassede tiltag og ny 2 års bedækningstilladelse

De 4–årige hingste, som har bestået en dansk 35-dages test i efteråret, er blevet ”skrivebordskåret” uden besigtigelse. Avlsledelsen har fulgt dem tæt i afprøvningsperioden, og det er derfor faglig forsvarligt at kåre/avlsgodkende dem uden besigtigelse. Nyt i år er, at hingste med en dansk 35-dages test mellem 750-800 p. kan tildeles 2 års bedækningstilladelse, hvorefter afkom/egen præstation skal vurderes for at opnå evt. færdigkåring.

Følgende hingste er derfor “skrivebordskåret”:

Dressurhingste: 115 – Iron, 118 – Blue Hors Fortron, 119 –Slangerupgaards Flottenheimer, 120- Freetown, 121-My Toto VDT, 122-Majestic Taonga, 124–Hesselhøj Rock A Billy, 125–Rockabye S, 126- So Perfect, 129-Total McLaren, 131-My Vitality samt Stenagers Ben Hur.
