Flot sejr til UNO Day Sun med Kenneth Damgaard til det internationale stævne i Norge i dag

Kenneth og UNO Day Sun stod øverst i dagens CDI3 Prix St. Georg i Norge

Parret får ikke den allerbedste start da der indløber en taktfejl i den første øgning, men derfra leverer de en skarp tur i flot balance og uden tekniske fejl. Ekvipagen blev belønnet med 71,941%.

Placeret som nr. 2 lige efter er det Carl Henin med Dante Weltino sønnen Davalerian. Parret starter ud i den første øgning med nogle spændinger ud af hjørnet, men udover den frie skridt som er ubalanceret viser ekvipagen en fin og skarp tur.

Norske Cathrine Rasmussen blev placeret som nr. 3 med hendes hjemmeavlede hoppe Kleppenhus Jazzoline. Det var parrets internationale debut, og de viste en velbalanceret tur, hvor kun den frie trav var lidt mat og den 2. skridt pirouette som ikke lykkedes så godt. Flotte halvpirouetter og flotte gennemsprungne serier.

VIDEO - Vogue by Vitalis / Fidertanz winner of 2-days stallion performance test with 9,33

3 year old

Again the pilot project proved itself. Very nice way of testing the young stallions were they all look very comfortable (of course more or less fresh), but this way of testing gives a really good picture of each stallion.

Vogue stood out for the 2 days stallion performance test yesterday and today at Münster-Handorf. Light and easy, lovely forehand, nice moving over the back, nice contact, uphill frame and three really good gaits. Nicely presented by Leonie Richter and looked fresh and supple body wise. With a total score of 9,33 Vogue well deserved won the testing for the 3 year old.

2nd placed was Escaneno by Escamillo / Veneno with a total score of 9,05 - light and easy and very rideable.

4 year old

From both yesterday and today Imperial MT by Asgard´s Ibiza / Davignon I showed himself very nicely. Supple rideable and obedient - winner with a total score of 8,72.

2nd placed with quite high score was Zumba by Zoom / Rocky Lee with 8,70.

Secret Lover and Fabiano from Van Olst Horses started their KWPN 35-days stallion performance test

Secret Lover by Secret / Fürstenball

KWPN spring performance test

Yesterday the KWPN stallions were inspected at the first day of the 35-days performance test.

From Van Olst Horses both stallions selected at the KWPN licensing are ready for testing. Fabiano by For Romance I / Diamond Hit and Secret Lover by Secret/Fürstenball who already did his 2-days performance test in Germany with a total score of 8,14. At the German performance test he showed himself as a very rideable and well balanced stallion with three really good gaits.

Van Olst Horses also presents the 3-year old stallion OO Grolloo by Glamourdale / Uptown for the performance test as part of optional testing.

4 year old

Unfortunately is the 4 year old stallion Next Level not among the participants approved for starting their 21-days performance test 9 May. Next Level withdrew from the autumn test last year.

Do you need to be German to win the freestyle in Hagen?

From watching the top of yesterday evenings CDI4* Grand Prix freestyle, Dinja van Liere with Hermés showed a very well balanced, light and easy test, always with a nice steady light contact. Lovely closed frame supple over the back from active hindlegs. Unfortunately an error for the 1 times and not with a joker line. Clear winner from H2R point of view again for the freestyle. Only judge at E, Germany´s Henning Lehrmann saw Dinja and Hermés as winners.

Winner Frederic Wandres with Duke of Britain in the judges top spot light. Good flow and go all the way, but for more moments Duke need some more clear push and power from behind. An error creeping into the two times but manage successfully to repeat at the joker line.

Placed 3rd again Danish Daniel Bachmann Andersen with Danish Warmblood 10 year old Marshall-Bell. Showing power and more relaxation in the body with lots of highlights and just two smaller issues during their test. For sure Daniel and Marshall has brought themselves into the Danish team for World Championships at home soil later this year.

Strong performance from Spains Jose Antonio Garcia Mena with his championship mare Divina Royal. Super flow and go without major issues. Effortless performance.

Unfortunately British Lottie Fry is struggling with her long time partner Dark Legend to relax in the arena also for yesterday´s freestyle.

Here you find the entire results.

Parret var til start i formiddags og sluttede fornemt med en 2. plads i den internationale Prix St. Georg klasse, hvor der var 15 ekvipager til start. Det var blot parrets 2. internationale start, da de debuterede i marts i Herning.

Anne-Marie og Scarlett leverede en fejlfri tur i flot balance hele vejen og blev kun slået af Hans Peter Minderhoud som debuterede på den 8-årige hingst Syrakus e. Sezuan, som også red en fejlfri tur.

Werth with new International black mare

Last week with retirement of Weihegold OLD and this week Werth shows her next black mare for the international scene.

The 10 year old mare Superb by Surprise (Sir Donnerhall I / Prince Thatch xx) / Donautanz (De Niro / Caprimond) made her International Grand Prix debut today with nothing else but a victory. Lots of potential and qualities throughout the test but still with a lot to improve, but knowing Isabell Werth this is just the beginning. (Video at the end of this article). The mare has been at Werth´s place since she was 3 year old as she was spotted at the HANN elite auction, where Werth´s long time sponsor Madeleine Winter-Schultze purchased the mare for 250.000 euro.

Superb / Isabell Werth - Good halt, good power diagonal, super balanced uphill crossing half passes, need more steadiness before rein back, good passage but bit open hind, bit unbalanced piaffe but some good steps, good walk tour, better 2nd piaffe tour, good into canter, good 2 times some tensions, good extended canter, bit ubalanced zigzag an error at the end, ok 1 times bit short, lacking more control and balance for 1st pirouette, 2nd nice, good into trot, good expressive diagonal, bit open hind for passage, lacking bit impulsion and clear rhythm for final piaffe. 75,783%

10 year old Mist of Titanium OLD by Millenium/Diamonit with Emma Kanerva showed a really nice test only with an error for the two times. The big supple gelding does never look forces or uncomfortable during the test, super nice flow and go all the way with top qualities. This was just their 2nd international Grand Prix start as they made their debut in Herning in March this year.

Kipling TSF / Anne Troensegaard - Good halt, well balanced power diagonal, supple half passes, super halt with rein back, power short diagonal super expression into super passage, super timing for 1st piaffe, good rhythm could stay bit more up in the contact, super walk tour, super passage, bit cautious 2nd piaffe but nice rhythm, good into canter, super nice 2 times, good extended canter, nice flow and go zigzag, error begin of 1 times and some tensions, superb sit and rhythm for 1st pirouette, 2nd becomes bit big, power supple diagonal, super final centerline. 72,870% - PERSONAL BEST

Without error for the 1 times and with a bit more security for the piaffe tours they definitely look like a +75% combination.

Danish Lone Bang Larsen and Thranegaardens Rostov finished just outside the placements with 70,609%. They showed a nice test with only some extra flying changes for the 2 times, as they started with some 1 times. Some minor tensions creeping into the test but still with power and expression.

Carina Cassøe Krüth brought her big Danish Warmblood Zack gelding Heiline´s Zackton. Today he didn´t look really comfortable in the arena as he turns around for the first piaffe, and the overall picture was missing a bit more natural go and flow. Final score 65,348%.

New international combinations

British Charlotte Fry recently made her debut together with just 9-year old KWPN stallion Inclusive by Everdale/Uptown. A powerful stallion with lots of qualities, and no weaknesses but still showing some tensions during their test. Look like a very exciting combination for the future. Today they were placed 9 with 71,065%.

Also Kittel rider Malin Wahlkamp-Nilsson showed a new partner today Danish Warmblood gelding Møgelbjergs Romeo. They recently made their debut together and today the showed a really nice test with just an issue for the final piaffe.

Here you find the entire results.

Perfect dressage — Horses & Dreams delights in the dressage arena (part of press release)

Hagen a.T.W. — The anticipation and excitement ahead of Horses & Dreams meets Canada, which starts next Wednesday, 20 April, at Hof Kasselmann, is especially high. Among the almost 300 riders entered in the various dressage and jumping competitions, who have qualified from 33 different nations around the globe, and 600 horses, there are some established champions and numerous ambitious upcoming stars who want to demonstrate their skills at the start of the outdoor season.

Three international tours, from one-star to four-star level, as well as the two important national young horse series, the NÜRNBERGER BURG-POKAL and the Louisdor Prize, will make every dressage heart beat faster. 

In every sport there are names that stand out because the best of the best leave their mark every year. Isabell Werth (Rheinberg) is one of these names. She can look back on many successful moments in the dressage arenas at the Borgberg, most recently in September at the FEI Dressage European Championships, where she won gold with the team and silver in the Grand Prix Special. Werth has nominated three horses, Emilio, DSP Quantaz and Suberb. The German colours will also be represented in the CDI4* Tour by Frederic Wandres (Hagen a.T.W.), Ingrid Klimke (Münster), Semmieke Rothenberger (Bad Homburg), Fabienne Müller-Lütkemeier (Paderborn), Hubertus Schmidt (Borchen-Etteln), Carina Scholz (Sassenberg) and Benjamin Werndl (Aubenhausen). 

The Danish rider and world number two, Cathrine Dufour, is likely to pose a major threat to the victory with her top horse Bohemian, silver medallist at the European Championships. The Danish contingent is in great form at the moment. Daniel Bachmann Andersen, Charlotte Heering and Carina Cassøe Krüth will also be making the journey to Hagen a.T.W..

Ultimate showman and Horses & Dreams regular Patrik Kittel is on the entry list with his relatively new horses Blue Hors Zepter and Fuhur, as well as Touchdown and Forever Young, while Great Britain will be represented by Charlotte Fry, Lara Butler and Laura Tomlinson. Anna Buffini will fly the American flag with FRH Davinia La Douce. But the Canadian flag of the partner country will also be represented: Evi Strasser and Naïma Moreira Laliberté can already look back on a successful season in Wellington this year. Naïma Moreira Laliberté will be in Europe for the next few months in preparation for future Olympic Games and Championships. The 25-year-old rider, who was on Canada's Olympic team in Tokyo last summer, will be based near Barcelona, Spain, but before that there will be a start with Statesman and Inspire at Horses & Dreams meets Canada.

"I'm having a great time so far at Hof Kasselman. It's my first visit here with the horses and I'm very much looking forward to my first start Horses & Dreams. Everyone has been so nice and accommodating and the horses are enjoying their time here. The build up team is working hard to create the show atmosphere for next week, there is definitely a lot of construction and action here at the moment, which i’m using to my advantage to expose my younger horses and hopefully make it a positive experience to grow and mature."
