Canadian Diane Creech and Chrevi´s Christo has already arrived together with some of the other combinations preparing for Equitour Aalborg.

And from a very special connection between Danish breeder Vivian Havbæk Thomasen and 14 yr old Danish Warmblood gelding Chrevi´s Christo by Chrevi´s Cavallo / Matador, Diane Creech tells:

"It was wonderful to see our danish boy reconnect with his breeder family! He couldn´t stop kissing and licking them. And it was so nice to see the smiles on the family's face. I am so grateful, that Mrs. Louise Leatherdale made this possible to happen. Mrs. Leatherdale is such a great supporter of the sport, loves her horses so much, and is happy to give the horse the time to develop. I think Chrevis Christo is a very lucky boy growing up with such loving breeders and being bought by such a wonderful caring owner, who loves the sport and the horse alike." 

Equitour amazing with incredible facilities

"Being here at Equitour is nothing short than amazing. We were received with open arms and Mr. Per Jensen is taking so good care of us with all the details. Everybody is working very hard to make this event an unforgettable one. The Helgstrand facility is incredible and just perfect to be having a show like this. I am sure, all the riders and spectators will have a great time and see some great sport."

World Class stallion For Emotion another new future hope for Danish Anna Kasprzak (video)

The outstanding mover 4 yr old stallion For Emotion by Foundation / Sandro Hit is now also purchased by Danish Olympic rider Anna Kasprzak.

Part of news from Anna´s website today (www.kasprzakdressage.com) 

"My mother and I have been watching For Emotion for a long time. He is the perfect stallion for the sport, he is incredibly supple, balanced, and at the top I already feel he is a dream to ride. I have therefore also chosen to use him for two of our own mares this year, and I am already looking forward seeing his first offsprings," says Anna.

"I´m looking forward to have For Emotion home at the stables in Haderslev, but For Emotion stays at Helgstrand Dressage this season, where he will still be available for the breeders. When the breeding season has finished, I look forward having him home, and I hope I will be able to start him at the 4-year-old championship this year. For the next breeding season he will als be available if there the breeders wants to use him,"concludes Anna.

Super mare Chilly Jam and Aikje Fehl ready for Nürnberger Burg-Pokal final

In general high quality for today´s final qualifier

Yesterday´s WOW horse and easy riding from H2R point of view was for sure the 7 yr old mare Chilly Jam by Romanov / Compliment ridden by Aikje Fehl. And they really managed to bring yesterday´s wow into the entire test today, just with a small error by 3 times with a single 4 times along. This mare bring the whole package - lovely expression, supple mover in all 3 gaits, lovely natural frame with a light contact and very well balanced and quiet in the saddle riding from Aikje Fehl. This is a top combination for the future, and for sure with the high quality for Nürnberger Burg-Pokal final. Score 75,610%.

Eventhough Anabel Balkenhol and Crystal Friendship looked very sharp at yesterday´s qualifier, they did not manage to bring the same strength for today´s test. Bit unbalanced for canter pirouettes, looked a bit like the strength from yesterday failed a bit today. Yesterday with superb series, while the 4 times today were with an error. No doubt this combination will be at the final, just not from the weekend. Placed no 3 today.

Benjamin Werndl showed the 8-yr old Famoso by Farewell III / Welt Hit II. Lovely mover and easy of the ground, nice frame and obedient all the way. A real future horse. Placed no 4 today.

8 yr old Fasine OLD by Fürst Romancier / Sir Donnerhall is now ridden by Rudolf Widmann (former rider Isabel Freese). Fasine became champion at Oldenburg Elite Mare show in 2012 and Bundeschampion as 6-year old. She was sold at PSI auction in 2015 for 1,3 million euros to Dietrich von Boetticher. At this weekends Nürnberger qualifier the mare showed good trot work, bit hurried extensions, good walk, and in general lack of strength for the canter work, which becomes a bit flat and lacking more correct collection. Placed no 10 today.

EXCLUSIVE QUALITY BAGS FOR EVERY OCCASION

British Emile Faurie and Lollipop winner of CDI4 Grand Prix Special today in Hamburg

Emile Faurie and Lollipop winner of Deutsche Bank Preis, Grand Prix Special in Hamburg

Emile Faurie and Lollipop winner of Deutsche Bank Preis, Grand Prix Special in Hamburg

Victory for Faurie and Lollipop in today´s Grand Prix Special with 74,843%

Solid test with good qualities along the way, bit of tensions for the piaffe tours, but supple easy look for the rest of the test. Well deserved victory, and an important closer steps towards the british team for the Europeans, which at moment looks like safe spots for Carl Hester and Spencer Wilton, and with more combinations for the other team spots.

Right now Gareth Hughes with Classic Briolinca or Don Carissimo, Hayley Watson-Greaves with Rubins Nite, Richard Davison with Bubblingh and now Emile Faurie with Lollipop looks like the strongest cards. 

4th became Fabienne Lütkemeier with her just 10-yr-old Fabregaz. Also today missing a bit of the former natural go, and with some smaller issue for the piaffe tours. Looks a bit like the very tense atmosphere made the young Fabregaz a bit hind the aides.

Results of the entire class here. 

 

Isabell Werth solid in top of today´s CDI5 Grand Prix at Munich

Score board might tell that Dorothee Schneider with Sammy Davies jr. were quite close to Werth, but from the sideline, Werth was ones again massive in her own league - this time with Don Johnson. Victory with 78,900%, which Dorothee scores 76,600% and Hubertus Schmidt with Imperio 3rd with 74,200%.

H2R twitter about Don Johnson and Sammy Davies jr:

The window is very open now

Without Desperados and Showtime for Germany there are obvious two "free" spots for the up-coming European Championships in Göteborg this summer, and of course the performances counts every time, and even more for the combinations just outside the team. 

Strong test from Bernadette Brune with Spirit of the Age. Bernadette taking calculated risks and all the way with Spirit playing along. 

Renata Vogelsang and Royal Happiness are showing real nice qualities together, unfortunately the piaffe tours are still lacking more security and Royal Happiness does not really play along, and of course this affects both the piaffe and the transitions. Today also with an error by two times series. All other parts looks quite easy and effortless.

Ingen Sezuan og Dorothee Schneider til start i München denne weekend

Selvom Sezuan har været på deltagerlisten til weekenden Nürnberger Burg-Pokal kvalifikation i München kommer han ikke til start alligevel. I en meddelelse fra ejerne Frau Jasper-Kohl og professor Edwin Kohl lyder det at grundet hans travle job i avlen, har de valgt at han ikke skal starte mere i år, og i stedet koncenteres den fremtidige træning frem mod Grand Prix sporten. 


No Sezuan and Dorothee Schneider at start this weekend in Munich

Eventhough Sezuan was the the entrylist for this weekends Nürnberger Burg-Pokal qualifier in Munich he will not be at start. A statement from the owner Frau Jasper-Kohl and professor Edwin Kohl says that because of Sezuan´s very busy job as a breeding stallion, they have chosen not to try to qualify him this year, and instead his training with Dorothee Schneider will be concentrated for the future Grand Prix sport.

This is an ELITE quality foal collection for the up coming Nordic International Sales

21 exclusive foals selected for the auction at Equitour Aalborg next week June 3

The Helgstrand Dressage stallions Franklin and Revolution dominates the exclusive collection for the upcoming auction.

High performance blood lines are not just outstanding in itself, you have to take a closer look at the individual foals to really see the pure qualities. 

And said that, you just have to watch out for the two very special ones (from H2R point of view) - totally outstanding qualities. Judge for yourself below. 

The auction will be live streamed by www.zibrasport.dk 

Take a look at the entire collection here. 

NRW summer auction comes up June 11

37 young dressage horses will be at the auction taking place at Münster Handorf in Germany June 11.

From the collection there a more very nice horses, but seen from the videos it is a collection without top stars. 

It will of course be very interesting to follow the live presentation which takes place next Wednesday May 31 at 18:00, and will as usual be available via live via Clipmyhorse.

See the entire collection here.

Velkommen til den ekstra UVM-iagttagelse den 25. maj samt UVM-samling den 26. maj 2017 (incl. tidsplan 25. maj)

Meddelelse fra UVM styringsgruppen

Vi glæder os til at se dig til dette års første UVM-arrangement forud for den endelige udtagelse, der i år vil finde sted ved DM-stævnet på Broholm i juli måned.

Den 25. maj 2017 har Styringsgruppen givet mulighed for en ekstra iagttagelse for de ekvipager, der ikke har kvalificeret sig direkte til UVM-samlingen den efterfølg- ende dag, fredag den 26. maj 2017. Begge dele foregår på Det Nationale Hestesportcenter Vilhelmsborg ved Aarhus.

Her rides begge dage det alderssvarende Indledende FEI-program for dommerne Gunilla Nymand, Birthe Lyder samt Dennis Fisker. Vi forventer, at hesten er flettet op, men at I ”nøjes” med almindeligt ridetøj og lader stævnetøjet ligge klar til senere.

Bandager er tilladt ligesom klokker. Bemærk dog, at dette IKKE vil være tilladt til den næste programridning ved den endelige UVM-udtagelse, idet vi her følger de regler, der gælder i Ermelo.

Tidsplan for torsdag den 25. maj er vedhæftet denne mail og vil også fremgå på Dansk Varmblods og Dansk Trakehner Avls hjemmesider. Tidsplanen for den 26. maj kan naturligvis først offentliggøres den 25. maj om aftenen, når vi har afviklet den ekstra UVM-iagttagelse. Rytterne kan dog forvente med, at starttidspunktet for de enkelte årgange fredag den 26. maj vil være følgende:
5-års: Kl. 8.30
6-års: Kl. 13.00 med ret til ændring -> kan evt. rykkes lidt frem
7-års: Kl. 15.30 med ret til ændring -> kan evt. rykkes lidt frem
Der er ikke tale om et stævne, hvorfor der ikke gives point. Til hver ekvipage er der afsat 10 minutter, således at der efter ridtet er god tid til kommentarer fra dommer- ne til hver enkelt rytter. Disse kommentarer er ikke til eventuelle tilskuere, men ene og alene til rytteren, der derfor skal blive inde på banen. Der vil ligeledes kunne være enkelte øvelser, som rytterne bliver bedt om at gentage efter input fra dommerne. Endelig besked om adgang til den endelige udtagelse gives efter afslutning af de enkelte årgange, hvor der også vil blive udleveret en kopi med kommentarer fra dommerne til videre træning og ”finpudsning”.

Bokse, der er placeret i den såkaldte ”DV-stald”, skal bestilles og betales hos Susanne Hviid inden arrangementet på: sh@varmblod.dk. Husk at oplyse, om du medbringer en hingst, således at det er muligt at lave en fornuftig staldplan. Prisen er kr. 400,- + moms. Efterfølgende døgn koster: 200,- + moms.

Også de to-benede kan overnatte på Vilhelmsborg: Enkeltværelse: 400,- + moms pr. døgn og dobbeltværelse: 480,- + moms pr. døgn. Bestilling til Susanne Hviid på ovennævnte mailadresse med deadline for bestilling af såvel bokse som værelser til tirsdag den 23. maj.

Fremvisning vil foregå på ridebanen inde på gårdspladsen. Opvarmning vil foregå i ”Den gule hal”.
Skulle I være nødsaget til at melde forfald eller er der ændringer, bedes I rette henvendelse hurtigst muligt. (Ane Marie: 23 35 29 47 og Barbro 41 69 49 00)

Har I spørgsmål eller ”løse ender”, som vi kan hjælpe med, må I endelig lade os det vide.

God træning fortsat med hesten – og på rigtigt godt gensyn: Ane Marie Jensen & Barbro H. Saul
