The Danish division of the FEI World Cup in dressage and the CSI * & **,
CSIP-T will relocate from Jyske Bank Boxen in Herning to Vilhelmsborg. The reason is uncertainty regarding the consequences of COVID-19 and the assembly rules in October with consequences for both planning and finances.

The uncertainty about the assembly rules in October has made it necessary to move the FEI World Cup Dressage event from Jyske Bank Boxen in Herning in October to the National Equestrian Center, Vilhelmsborg near Aarhus. An international event of this size requires a lot of preparation, and for the sake of ticket sales, the organizers have chosen to adhere to the assembly rules applicable until 31 August of a maximum of 500 people.
– The uncertainty, and the severe restriction of the allowed number of spectators in line, make the implementation in the known format financially impossible, and we had no choice but to cancel or move the World Cup qualification this year, says Casper Cassøe, one of the organizers behind the event, and the other organizer, Jens Trabjerg points out that this type of events has extremely difficult working conditions:
– It is perfectly understandable that there are rules on assemblies during the Covid-19 pandemic. Many would like to experience the World Cup qualification live, but of course there is no need to compromise with the audience and the safety and health of the athletes.
The organizers expect the move to cost a six-figure amount but have chosen to invest in maintaining the event in Denmark.
Director of the Danish Equestrian Federation, Morten Rodtwitt states: – The Danish Equestrian Federation praise the event organizers behind World Cup Herning. In a difficult time, they have shown constant care, been creative and, not least, willing to think in positive, alternative solutions. The World Cup is a prestigious tournament that only the very best international event organizers will have the opportunity to hold, so it is crucial that Denmark remains part of this circle. By moving the qualification to Vilhelmsborg, we keep the qualification on Danish soil while taking the necessary health measures, and this is a solution that our federation supports 100%. The same will undoubtedly apply to the Danish dressage riders, who will be more than ready to go for the first World Cup qualification in October.
The World Cup moves to Vilhelmsborg
The organizers have applied to the FEI (International Equestrian Federation) for an exemption to move this year's World Cup qualification to the National Equestrian Centre, Vilhelmsborg near Aarhus. And FEI has granted the dispensation for this season, so that the World Cup series can kick off in Denmark in keeping with tradition.
- With the support of the International Equestrian Federation, FEI, to move the event to Vilhelmsborg, we will again be able to enjoy international dressage at the highest level and enthralling show jumping classes on Danish soil. It is important for the sport at home and abroad that we get started with the international competitions and especially in the World Cup qualification. And we will be able to do so at Vilhelmsborg, says Casper Cassøe, adding:
– The restrictions, in combination with the uncertainty about the rules in October, make Vilhelmsborg the natural and right choice for the location of the World Cup event this year.
Vilhelmsborg has permanent stables, heating and training facilities for horses and riders, and the facilities for the spectators can be scaled to match the current requirements of the authorities. The intimate atmosphere in the show arena provides the opportunity to produce good broadcasting for those around the world who passionately follow the World Cup Series, which is of great importance to the event's sponsors.
– Fortunately, we have received great support from our major sponsors in this particular situation, and we are grateful for the understanding. Of course, the spectacular setting in Jyske Bank Boxen and space for many spectators will be missed this year, and we look forward to returning to Herning in 2021, says Jens Trabjerg.
The host city of Herning and MCH A/S both express regret and understanding of the organizers' decision in this extraordinary situation and look forward to welcoming the World Cup in 2021.
Vilhelmsborg hosted the World Cup finals in dressage in 2000, and the organizers promise that everyone will do their utmost to create a beautiful setting for the World Cup event at Vilhelmsborg this year to the benefit of riders, audiences and TV viewers from all over world.
The new concept for organising the first edition of 2020 Danish Warmblood foal auction with successful turnout
The presentation of the foals for the auction was as usual with nice videos where the foals were shown in all three gaits. The online auction with the possibility for pre-bidding which made it even more interesting to check out each foal and follow the bidding towards today’s online live auction.
The online auction was made in cooperation between Danish Warmblood and Blue Hors, and in connection with Blue Hors foal championships it even became a bit in the mood of a “normal” foal show, even though there were very few people gathered (according to the current Danish coronavirus restrictions).
For this type of online live auction it seems perfect with a collection less than 20 foals. All the foals developed positively since the videos were captured, and you did not miss a final presentation before today’s auction.
The combination of live-, online- and phone bidding was also quite easy to follow live, and make this kind of auction credible for everyone.
Top price foals
Not surprisingly the super well moving colt by Livius / Aljano was sold for today’s top price at 37.000 euro - this colt was secured for Blue Hors by breeding manager Martin Klavsen.
2nd most expansive foal became the filly by Vitalis / Apache sold to Blue Hors rider Nanna Merrald for 20.000 euro.
Here you find the entire list of prices.

Might only be H2R, but it looks a bit weird with so much foam in the mouth without having a happy smooth contact.

Cathrine about considering selling Cassidy:
“It looked really really difficult to make the jump from Young Rider to the Grand Prix.”
“How am I gonna create a career for myself if I don’t have a Grand Prix horse? He is just the apple of my eye”.

18th July with online HANN riding horses auction
Another riding horses auction comes up, this time 18th July with a very nice overall collection of young Hanoveraner horses.
Especially two young horses caught extra attention from H2R.
First one this 4 year old mare by Libertad / Davignon I
No 20 - A lovely big boy with a lot of potential, but said that the description says: “Contrary to the conditions of sale, Fürst Dollar will be sold without insurance coverage”, which unfortunately might tell that there are some health issues.
Here you find the entire collection.
Cantering like a World Champion
The very rideable KWPN stallion Glamourdale, World Champion for Young Horses as 7 year and top scores at small tour level as 8 year in Aachen, now ready for Grand Prix under British Charlotte Fry has stamped this boy with his outstanding canter, and well moving in both trot and walk. Interesting with another top foal producer Franklin as dam sire which seems to be a very good cross with Glamourdale.
Franklin power
Franklin will again make his entry for this auction with another powerful offspring. The way this colt can push himself up from behind will for sure be valuable when performing the dressage arena later.
Performance pedigree
Without exception Vitalis is also represented by this exclusively selected collection, and combined with Grand Prix stallion Apache and further out the pedigree with valuable Sir Donnerhall I. This filly brings very nice format combined with 3 expressive gaits - a future very interesting filly for both sport and breeding.
Remember to sign up for online bid starting June 25th at 5 pm and with final bids at June 28th at 3 pm.
Streaming will be live at Clipmyhorse.tv.
Procentklasser er kommet for at blive
Til distriktsstævnerne har rytterne rig mulighed for at øve sig på de sværeste niveauer, og det giver selvfølgelig nogle spændende klasser med mange forskellige ekvipager som prøver kræfter med ex. Svær Intermediaire, Intermediaire II og Grand Prix.
Speciel top 3 i dag
Tre rutinerede ryttere, Anne Troensegaard, Joachim Thomsen og Selina Vittinghus var alle på “ukendt” grund med deres heste idag.
Dagens vinder med 72,632% Anne Troensegaard med verdens bedste Traki, som Anne kalder den 10-årige vallak Kipling TSF e. Hofrat / Hohenstein debuterede i Intermediaire A idag. Om turen siger Anne “Han var virkelig fin og afslappet på banen. Han mangler stadig styrke til passage turene, men det kommer. Jeg er så glad for min lille Traki”, fortæller Anne.
Dagens nr. to var den 10-årige hoppe Bonnaquiqui e. Bonifatius / Rotspon med Joachim Thomsen I sadlen. Det var ikke Grand Prix debut til Bonnaquiqui, da hun havde gået turen tidligere med Rune Willum, men sammen med Joachim Thomsen var det debut, og samtidig også deres første start nogensinde sammen. “Turen gik ok, men vi havde alt for mange små fejl undervejs. Det var tydeligt at mærke at det var lang tid siden hun havde været til start, så hun var noget ukoncentreret under vejs. Vores træning hjemme inden starten i dag har været super god, så nu skal vi bare have det med på banen, og lige nu tænker jeg vi er klar til start igen i næste weekend for at få koncentrationen tilbage på rette spor”, fortæller Joachim Thomsen som sluttede som nr. 2 med 68,900%.
Første uplacerede var Stutteri Atterupgaard rytter Selina Vittinghus med den 10-årige hoppe Atterupgaards Ophelia e. Belissimo M / Gribaldi. Det var parrets debut i Intermediaire II og første store skridt på vej mod målet Grand Prix. Efter turen fortæller Selina: “Vi havde ingen øvelsesmæssige fejl, men kunne godt mærke jeg ikke havde hende helt hvor jeg gerne ville have hende i mine piaffe ture, da hun er i brunst. Og under vejs med lidt spændinger der går ud over form og kontakt, men ellers er jeg rigtig godt tilfreds med vores debut,” siger Selina. Parret fik 68,816%
Small 1st crop by Blue Hors Livius
Just 6 registered Danish Warmblood foals by Blue Hors Livius (Gotcha-Uthopia/Jazz) from his first year breeding. So far the overall quality seems to very good (just based on 3 foals watched by H2R).
Blue Hors did not show him for the final licensing in Herning this year and he is not available for the breeders this season. Hopefully we will see him later this year at the Young Horse Championship qualifiers and then for the licensing in Herning next year, as he look like a quite interesting stallion for the breeders.
With this colt by Blue Hors Livius / Aljano / Akinos, you get the attractive combination of dressage breeding combined with the jumping genes from the dam line.
Here you find the entire collection.
18 exclusively selected Danish Warmblood dressage foals
When the first online live auction comes up starting 25th of June and will finish 28th of June it will be in cooperation between Danish Warmblood and Stud Blue Hors.
New format with live stream from the final bid rounds
The streaming auction kicks off live on Sunday, June 28 at 3 pm, where you can watch the foals live in the arena during the bidding round. It allows interested buyers to watch video of the foals on the website, as well as experience them live in the arena at Blue Hors during the auction itself.
Over all a very nice collection of foals from many different top stallions and common to all of them - out of strong dam lines.
Breeders dream fulfilled
You cannot ride on the papers or pedigree, but for sure it becomes very interesting when the breeder succeed with a special combination. Here the breeder successfully used the double World Champion for Young Horse D´avie, a got a pure copy. What more can you wish for?
For sure one of H2R favourites from this collection.
