Clinic med Edward Gal sidste weekend til Hillerød Horse Show

For alle dem som ikke havde lejlighed til at overvære clinic med Edward Gal sidste weekend til Hillerød Horse Show, var rytter Katrine Sandholt blandt de mange tilskuere, og fortæller her hvilke værktøjer og træningstips som den verdensberømte rytter delte ud af.
De 4 ekvipager var:
Katrine Kraglund og Adamsens Jumbo Jet (5 års) e. Fürstenball/Lanciano. LA niveau
Edward fokuserede på at den stort travende Jumbo Jet skulle respondere kvikkere på Katrines hjælp. Han skulle bevæge sig lidt bedre over ryggen og kvikkere af jorden specielt i dens store trav.
For at opnå dette lavede de mange tempovekslinger, hvor Edward ville have hesten helt tilbage og trave små ”pony steps” og helt frem igen.
Han ønskede at Katrine godt måtte fortsætte sin øgning/fremadridning på kortsiden og gerne ligge på af flere omgange. I alle fremadridninger havde han fokus på at hesten skulle lære at trække/springe meget frem på eget initiativ, hvorefter rytteren selv kan ride sine halve parader og samle hesten.
Edward gjorde generelt opmærksom på at man som rytter ikke måtte trykke til eller touchere hesten med pisken - uden at man får en tydelig reaktion bagfra. Han udtrykte ligeledes vigtigheden af ikke at sidde på bremsen/tøjlen mens man driver. Drift og anholdninger skal deles tydeligt op, så hesten kan træde mere ind under sit eget tyngdepunkt - frem for at gå i hånden på rytteren.
Katrine Kraglund fortæller: "Adamsen's Jumbo Jet, havde aldrig prøvet at gå i sådan en atmosfære. Han var så uimponeret og forsøgte på bedste vis at leve op til Edward Gal's instrukser.
Edward fokuserede meget på at ride hesten frem og tilbage og hele tiden holde den hurtig og foran hjælpen. Jeg blev blandt andet bedt om at ride en del mere frem i grundgangarterne end jeg måske ellers ville gøre. Det var lidt grænseoverskridende på så ung en hest på den ret lille bane.
Det var egentlig rart at blive hevet lidt ud af sin komfort zone i forhold til grundtempoet og få nye indspark til træningen af de unge heste. Jeg havde et indtryk af en meget positiv, men også på mange måder konsekvent træningsform. Det var en fornøjelse at ride med og jumbo og jeg fik masser af tips og inspiration med til træningslokalet."
Selina Solberg Vittinghus og Atterupgaards Ophelia (7 års) e. Belissimo M/Gribaldi. MB niveau
Selina havde medbragt en syv års hoppe, som var noget tændt da den entrerede banen. I den anledning snakkede Edward lidt om hvordan han forsøger håndtere de tændte heste. Han havde ikke noget ”magic trick” og sagde at man som rytter på en tændt hest, altid skal forsøge at holde sig selv rolig og afslappet. Han afslørede dog at han godt kan finde på at snakke (meget lavt selvfølgelig) til hesten inde på banen, for evt. at berolige den og for at lette galop-trav overgangene. I den daglige træning bruger han stemmen meget til at rose hesten og give den selvtillid på opgaverne.
Selina og Ophelia trænede ligeledes reaktion på hjælperne og tempovekslinger. Edward fortalte at man i forberedelse til en overgang, skal forsøge at ramme det tempo - som man skal ride i den nye gangart. Dvs. i galop-trav overgangen skal hesten samles så den km. i timen ville kunne trave og galoppere en kilometer på samme tid. Samme koncept gør sig selvfølgelig gældende i galop-skridt overgangen.
Selina og Ophelia fik demonstreret rigtig fint arbejds-pirouette arbejde. Her tryllede Edward et super trick frem; ”hold the shoulders”. For at kontrollere tempoet/antal af skridt i pirouetterne, brugte Edward udtrykke ”at holde skuldrene” via dobbeltsidet tøjleføring. Hvis han ville have at Ophelia skulle øge tempoet i pirouetten, skulle Selina føre begge hænder på den indvendige side af hestens hals. Skulle tempoet sænkes, skulle begge hænder føres til den udvendige side. Ophelia kvitterede prompte og Selina puttede tydelig dette trick i hendes ”værktøjskasse”.
Amanda Overgaard og Sky News Horsebo (9 års) e. Zardin Firfor/Ramiro´s Bube. PSG niveau
Amanda og Sky News fik ligeledes en tur i tempo/reaktions/kontrol møllen. Edward ville gerne have at Amanda fik redet Sky News kvikkere af jorden og lidt mere over ryggen. De arbejdede meget på samling og forberedelse inden galop pirouetter og changementer. Edward fortalte at hesten ikke selv må begynde at vende i pirouetten eller selv tage et byt. Som rytter skal man have kontrollen og derfor tænke meget over at træne bl.a. kvarte pirouette og samlet galop på lige linje uden at lave pirouetten. Edward ville gerne have Amanda til at lave en øvelse hvor hun skulle samle hesten ligeud rettet i galop på diagonalen og derefter forsætte rundt i kontra galop.
De trænede ligeledes ridningen frem mod changementerne, hvor han udtrykte at det var vigtigt at man som rytter red til hen mod changementerne - så hesten kunne kvittere med et flot stort changement.
Anna Zibrandtsen og Detroit (12 års) e. Dimaggio/Lord Liberty. GP niveau
Sidste equipage på banen var EM sølv vinder Anna Zibrandtsen, på hendes imponerende kårede hingst Detroit. Detroit og Anna viste på flot vis nogle af dressurens sværeste øvelser. I piaff/passage arbejdet havde Edward fokus på overgangene mellem de to. Han fortalte om vigtigheden af at have flere gear i hestens passage for at være i stand til at lave optimale overgange ind og ud af piaff. Han udtrykte at man skulle kunne lave en lille passage ind og ud af piaff, og den store flotte passage imellem. På den måde bliver overgange glidende og ikke som man nogle gange ser - hvor heste lidt går i stå og så træder ind i piaff - for så at falde ud og op i passage igen.
Hans begreb om ”at holde skuldrene” kom på banen igen i forbindelse med side traversaderne. Her kan samme princip med dobbeltsidet tøjleføring, bruges til at justere hvor meget bøjning el. bagpart man ønsker.
Super god teknisk clinic! Som rytter fik man mange gode fif med hjem - som er lige til at implementere i ens daglige træning!

Gut Wettlkam´s Stand by Me OLD getting ready for the Grand Prix sport with Isabell Werth (video)
Victory in Young Horse Grand Prix serie, Louisdor Preis Sunday with 73.698%.
Både Ulrik Mølgaard og Anders Dahl placeret i CDI3 Grand Prix Special i dag i Saumur
Dagens Grand Prix Special blev vundet af Adelinde Cornelissen med hingsten Aqiedo. Top kontrolleret tur, umiddelbart lidt for kontrolleret i de frie trav ture, men det er tydeligt at Adelinde kender Aqiedo rigtig godt. Super god skridt tur, rigtig gode piaffe ture med tilhørende flydende overgange. Hele galopturen i super kvalitet og uden fejl - 76,235%. Adelinde melder sig klart ind omkring holdet igen. Spændende at følge udviklingen for ekvipagen.
Placeret som nr. 2 bliver lusitanerhoppen Batuta. Hoppen rides nu af spanieren Sergio Martin Palos, som ikke er kendt på den internationale scene. Batuta virker mere afspændt og går stadig med super spændstighed. Der indløber fejl i etterne og så mangler der lidt bedre timing i pirouetterne, Parret slutter med 73,510%, og ligner bestemt en ekvipager det spanske team godt kan regne med i fremtiden.
Bedst placeret dansker blev Ulrik Mølgaard med Michigan, de slutter som nr. 4 med 69,412%. Super power og dejlig smidighed i traven. God skridt tur, piaffen er stadig lidt begrænset og bliver lidt for spændt. Super flotte toere, desværre indløber der fejl i de 15 ettere, og balancen mistes i den sidste pirouette - det koster ihvertfald en placering højere oppe i klassementet.
Anders Dahl og Sir Donato kommer godt fra start, men i dagens piaffe ture savner man lidt mere motivation og aktivitet. Skridten trækker desværre igen i dag ned i det samlede regnskab, da det kniber med at holde takten ren i både fri og samlet skridt. Desværre indløber der fejl i begge etter serierne i dag. Parret slutter som nr. 4 med 69,275%.
British Spencer Wilton and Super Nova II winner of CDI4 Grand Prix Special today (video)
76,47% victory for British Spencer Wilton and Super Nova II.
Lovely effortless test with just a small issue in the 2nd piaffe tour (like in the GP), super passage with lot of expression and bouncing off the ground for every single step. The trot extensions looked a bit conservative. Very strong canter tour with high quality all the way.
Swedish KIttel and his just 9 yr old mare Well Done de la Roche showed a very well performed test without an technical issues. Super light footed and a light contact, just waiting "to answer the next question" from her rider. 75,922% just speaks for itself - when the test still leaves room for improvement.
And of course Kittel is full of excitement himself "amazing - such a great horse", he stated right after his rid today.
Top foal from Klosterhof Medingen to Danish Anna Zibrandtsen and Danish Warmblood gelding most expensive riding horse

Dorothee also took the CDI4 Grand Prix victory today (video)
Grand Prix for Grand Prix Special today at Kranichsteiner Hof
From the start list British Spencer Wilton and Super Nova were the sharpest card going in to today´s Grand Prix. From the "sideline" just two issues, by the 2nd piaffe where Super Nova not really feels in the mood for the exercise and becomes tense and making a small "levade", and the for the final extended trot he stumbles just before the transition to collected trot. Today´s score kept them on 3rd position.
2nd win today for Dorothee Schneider
This time with the mare Fohlenhof´s Rock´n Rose. Smooth supple test with out any issues. The passage could be shown with more clear suspension off the ground, but everything with nice contact, good flow and without tensions - well deserved winner with 74,320%.
Kittel with his next super star
Well Done de la Roche looks like a new super star for Swedish Kittel. The sensitive mare make a great picture together with Kittel. Still the over all picture need a bit more relaxation, but saying that, it looks all about experience for the young mare. Bit hurried picture for the extensions, where she still not really let go. Lovely easy light passage/piaffe/passage tours, where Kittel still not asking for the optimum piaffe steps, but manage to make it looks easy, effortless and not least without errors.
Danish national coach Nathalie zu Sayn-Wittgenstein was also at start with her still inexperienced M & M´s. And as she tells after her ride, she is really looking forward to the day where the big chestnut gelding will enjoy the atmosphere in the arena. They are showing lot´s of very nice things between a lot of tensions today.
See the results here.
Sezuan and Dorothee Schneider also sovereign at Intermediaire I today at Kranichsteiner Hof
Top timing all the way
From the Prix Sct. Georg the placement at the top of the competition were set, but nothing is of course clear before the test has finished.
But again today Dorothee Schneider and her 8 yr old Danish Warmblood stallion Sezuan by Zack / Schufro were ready for the task. Fully focused about the job and his rider, the long legged stallion showed an active, supple high quality test. It is clear that even though he show big movements he is also showing abilities to collection and make his steps smaller. This picture you really see when watching the difficult transition from medium trot direct into collected walk, where Dorothee is able to do a smooth transition where Sezuan just shorten his steps, like they way she can prepare him going into the canter pirouettes.
It is still clear that Sezuan does not feel 100% comfortable doing the series yet, as they are shown with a bit of tensions. But Dorothee manage to make them clear without errors, and of course also with subsequent rewarding pat from Dorothee.
Blue Hors Zack and Daniel Bachmann Andersen well deserved winners
Grand Prix freestyle in floodlight became a very successful Danish night at Kranichsteiner Hof
From the "sideline" it looked like a much more motivated combination as in the Grand Prix.
Zack was from the beginning more off the ground and with much more supple topline. Good choice of music with nice transitions. Nice lines with good trot half passes to passage half passes, good first passage/piaffe/passage tour. Bit tense transition into the walk, but nice relaxation for the walk tour. Good canter tour, extended canter into two good double pirouettes, and out from the first piroutte with nice two times, extended canter into the next double pirouette where Zack change the canter in the extension, but well managed double pirouette and out into nice one time tempies. Small issue at the final where Zack gets a bit stocked for the 2nd last piaffe tour, but recovers well with another nice piaffe/passage tour before the final.
Daniel Bachmann tells after his test that he feel very confident about the development of Zack, and that Zack just need some more experience, so he will be able to bring their daily training into the competitons too.
80,833% Prix Sct. Georg victory for Danish Warmblood Sezuan and Dorothee Schneider yesterday (video)
International CDI3 Grand Prix 75,500% victory for Adelinde Cornelissen and Aqiedo
Double win for Adelinde Cornelissen today
The international event at Saumur is mainly the place for the national Young Horse Championships, but parallel to the Championships there are also CDI2 and CDI3 competitions.
The CDI2 Prix Sct. Georg was today won by Dutch Adelinde Cornelissen with her fullbrother of Parzival, Fleau de Baian, it was their international debut scoring 73,07%.
CDI3 Grand Prix
75.500% victory for Adelinde Cornelissen and the stallion Aqiedo with agreement from the entire judging team.
2nd was Michael Eilberg with Marakov (71,920%), while Danish Olympic combination Anders Dahl and Selten HW came 3rd (71,900%). Placed 4th was the exciting Lusitano mare Batuta, (best know under Portuguese rider Goncalo Carvalho) is now ridden by Spanish Sergio Martin Palos (71,740%). Again as no 5 was Anders Dahl with his 2nd horse Sir Donato (70,680%), and 6th place was again Adelinde Cornelissen with Zephyr (69,500%), while Danish combination Ulrik Mølgaard and Michigan also came 6th (69,500%).
Danish judge Jesper Holst Hansen who is judging some of the French Young Horses and ponies, was able to have a seat beside British judge at E, Mr. Andrew Gardner today. And Jesper Holst Hansen had of course a few comments about the top placements today.
"Adelinde Cornelissen showed a lovely test with nice uphill tendency, for some moments the neck became a bit too short.
Danish Anders Dahl was placed with both his horses. With Sir Donato Dahl showed a nice supple and smooth test in a good frame, unfortunately the walk became a bit unbalanced and therefore also expensive for the total score.
With his 2nd horse Selten HW Dahl showed a good test, where the first piaffe lacking some more energy and elevation, and comes a bit too much forward. The overall picture was clear developed since the Danish national Championships back in June.
Danish Ulrik Mølgaard and Michigan showed lovely extensions and half passes, while the energy and suspension is lacking a bit for the piaffe tours." tells Jesper Holst Hansen.
71,08% CDI4 Grand Prix victory for Blue Hors Zack and Daniel Bachmann Andersen (video)
Son Sezuan and father Blue Hors Zack with victories today at Kranichsteiner Hof
Sezuan and Dorothee Schneider at today´s price givning
Sezuan shines and raised the bar to +80% victory together with Dorothee Schneider
First Danish Warmblood stallion Sezuan took the victory in Prix Sct. Georg with German Dorothee Schneider in the saddle with an impressive score of 80,833%, ahead of another German couple Destiny OLD and Kristina Bröring-Sprehe scoring 77,456%.
From waching the entire class the scoreboard seems to be very hot for Destiny and Kristina, and as Dorothee and Sezuan were next to go the victory seems already gone. But there was a clear quality difference of the two combinations.
Dorothee Schneider is an outstanding rider, and her partnership with the big black stallion seems to develop from competition to competition. Super active trot tour, supple shoulder in, volte and half passes, good walk tour with good walk pirouettes, small tension from walk to canter, good canter pirouettes with good collection and nice self carriage, the change at C after the first pirouette becomes a bit tense. Super nice active series.
See the results here.
More Danish success
Today´s CDI4 Grand Prix with qualifier for Grand Prix freestyle was won by Danish rider Daniel Bachmann Andersen and KWPN stallion Blue Hors Zack, sire of Sezuan. They showed a nice start with good power, nice supple half passes with good crossing. Good into the first passage with slight lost of the clear passage rhythm, the first piaffe becomes a bit limited and forward, while the 2nd piaffe becomes with some tensions. An error in the 2 times series, bit unbalanced pirouettes, where Zack sits a bit too much. Final centerline also becomes with a bit too much forward piaffe. Victory score of 71.08%.
2nd Bernadette Brune and Spirit of the Age showed a solid test, although Spirit looked slightly with a kind of "summer body form", but still showing an obedient test and correct.
3rd is Danish based Australian Simone Pearce with Wladimir. For some moments a bit hurried picture, but Simone manage to show an errorfree test with good power.
See the results here.

Championatsfinalerne lørdag og søndag med livestreaming via Zibrasport
Championatsfinalerne for de unge heste nærmer sig med hastige skridt
Fra 12. til 15. oktober byder Blue Hors velkommen til årets championatsfinaler.
Det nye koncept uden mellemrunder er gennemført, og selvom man fra DRF´s side har haft de bedste intentioner om at der skulle være gennemgående dommere (mindst en af dommerne skulle være gennemgående) i alle aldersgrupper, så har det koncept desværre ikke været fuldt helt til døren.
Kritikken omkring de tidligere championatsfinaler som blev afholdt i Odense var blandt andet, at omgivelserne ofte var svære for de unge heste, og samtidig også at det ofte blev en meget lang uge i finalernes tegn.
Uanset de fantastisk indbydende omgivelser på Blue Hors, så virker konceptet dog ikke helt "ungheste venligt", da man fra DRF´s side har valgt helt at afskaffe trøstfinalerne, men på den måde gjort finaleweekenden kortere.
Trøstfinalerne var jo velkendte fra det gamle koncept, og er også succesfuldt anvendt i bl.a. både Bundeschampionatet og til UVM.
Aktuelt fra i år, var vejen til finalen til UVM for Atterupgaards Botticelli og Selina Solberg Vittinghus via en sejr i trøstfinalen, ligesom også den nykårede Bundeschampion for 5 års heste Lodbergen hingsten Dominy med Therese Nilshagen i sadlen, tog turen fra at have opgivet kvalifikationen, til en 3. plads i trøstfinalen til at slutte med en finale sejr.
