VIDEO - Sensationel victory for Danish Lone Bang Larsen with Bakkely´s Onandt in CDI4 Grand Prix freestyle

Danish Warmblood successful at Hagen

Hagen September 2020 will for sure be a very special memory for Danish Lone Bang Larsen, tonight´s winner of the CDI4 Grand Prix Freestyle with Personal Best score 78,085%.

The high degree of difficulty together with a technical very strong test really paid off yesterday evening at the rainy floodlight atmosphere. This weekend Lone managed to show Onandt in the best way and keeping him fully focused all the way for both tests.

Lone Bang Larsen has already been successful this weekend with her small tour horse Thranegaardens Rostov top placed in Prix St. Georg.

Lone and Onandt kept more strong combinations behind, like Victoria Max-Theurer with the super well moving and talented young Rockabilly, while Reitmeister Hubertus Schmidt came 3rd with Belstaff (their first performance together), former ridden at World Games by Danish Betina Jæger Jensen.

Championatsfinalerne sat på midlertidig “stand-by”

Nyhed på Bluehors.com i dag

Finalerne i Pavo og Dansk Ride Forbunds Unghestechampionater skulle oprindeligt have været afviklet hos Blue Hors i uge 41, men pga. de gældende COVID-19-restriktioner, har Blue Hors vurderet, at man ikke kan afvikle finalerne på forsvarlig vis, og derfor udskydes finalestævnet.  

”Der var ikke noget, vi hellere ville, end at afvikle finalerne i Pavo og Dansk Ride Forbunds Championater for ungheste som planlagt, men vi ønsker ikke at gå på kompromis med sikkerheden, og da vi synes, der er for store usikkerheder forbundet med den nuværende situation, vælger vi at udskyde,”

- lyder det fra direktør hos Blue Hors, Ole Magnus Petersen.

”Vi er, i samråd med DRF, kommet frem til den konklusion, at det kan blive nødvendigt at gentænke set-up’et for at muliggøre en afvikling af finalerne i år, og vi vil i løbet af næste uge se nærmere på, hvordan den endelige løsning skal se ud”, afslutter han.

”Det er brandærgerligt, at vi er nødt til at udskyde finalestævnet, men som jeg ser det, har vi i ridesporten et stort og fælles ansvar for at agere sundhedsmæssigt forsvarligt i den nuværende situation, og derfor kan vi desværre ikke gennemføre som planlagt. Vi krydser fingre for, at det snart bliver muligt at afvikle på en god og sikker måde”

- udtaler Morten Dueholm Larsen fra Pavo

DRF melder ud omkring afvikling af finalerne, så snart det er muligt, men afventer en udmelding fra regeringen om hvordan tiden efter 4. oktober kommer til at se ud.

Lone Bang Larsen med placering i både Prix St. Georg og Grand Prix til det internationale stævne i Hagen i dag

Det tidlige efterår viste sig fra sin flotteste side på det store stadion på Hof Kasselmann i Hagen til CDI1 og CDI4 stævnet.

Begge Lone Bang Larsen´s heste Thranegaardens Rostov og Bakkely´s Onandt viste storform.

I Prix St. Georg klassen sluttede Lone og Rostov som nr. 2 med 72,059% og en udtryksfuld, velbalanceret og teknisk fejlfri tur. Et af dagens highlights var klart de flotte kontrollerede og velbalancerede halve pirouetter i galop i super kvalitet. I den samlede skridt vrinsker Rostov lige en enkelt gang og bliver lidt spændt.

Sammen med Bakkely´s Onandt var det parrets bedste tur til dato og det var også Personlig Bedste på pointtavlen med flotte 72,696%. Ekvipagen slutter som nr. 4. Lone ligger ud i vanlig skarp stil og Onandt bliver ved Lone hele turen, kun med en knap så god midterline med lidt ubalancerede pirouetter, travturen er med masser power og balance samt rigtig gode piaffe og passage ture og vellykkede serier.

Imorgen gælder det Intermediaire I for Rostov og Lone med starttid kl. 17.11 og lørdag med Grand Prix kür (starttider endnu ikke online).

VIDEO CLIP - Glock´s Toto Jr and Edward Gal Dutch Champions 2020

10 year anniversary today since Edward Gal and Totilas won gold at WEG in Kentucky

Lots of emotions and best memories when Gal entered to the famous freestyle made for him and Totilas.

As Gal stated to Horses.nl after today’s victory, he has been waiting for the moment to happen for the last 7 years, and at the same time he said he think Toto Jr will be even better than his father Totilas, as this was just his 3rd competition at this level. The feeling Gal have about Toto Jr is some of the same feeling he had with Totilas, and that’s why today’s victory was something very special for Gal.

Podium:

18 6-års heste klar til finalen fra dagens mellemrunde i Grindsted

Springbank VH II - foto: H2R

Selvom feltet kun var med 20 deltagere skulle de 18 bedste jo findes til finalen sammen med de allerede udtagne 6 bedste fra kvalifikationerne.

Stærke ridt fra Betina Jæger Jensen med to top heste, mens Cathrine Dufour med Eternity, udover at fremvise en ekstraordinær hest, også evner i en helt sublim grad at vise klar selvbæring og selvbalance, og ikke blot den daglige tale om flot form. Måden Dufour formår at lægge hånden frem i bl.a. øgningerne er det optimale billede af selvbalance og selvbæring.

Den store Sezuan / Londonderry søn Sauternes som jo ejes af Dufour selv har udviklet sig særdeles positivt, og er også ved at være rigtig godt på vej styrkemæssigt. Han blev i dag redet til topplacering af Dufour rytteren Janni Dietz som har været ansat hos Dufour i knap to år, og som er en del af det daglige team.

Unge Kristian Würtz Green med Schuberts Macattack viser en rigtig solid tur og den velgående hoppe har ingen øvelses- eller gangartsmæssige svagheder.

En af H2R favoritterne i feltet var klart Raccolto - nyd også den tur her.

18 5-års heste klar til finalen fra dagens mellemrunde i Grindsted

Finaledeltagerne for 5 års heste klar. Feltet tæller jo de 18 heste fra i dag plus de 6 vindere fra de indledende kvalifikationer.

Når man har fulgt dagens mellemrunde for de 5 års heste, kan man godt stille sig selv spørgsmålet om det er nødvendigt at ride et program i mellemrunden. Man kunne med fordel, og for at skåne de unge heste, være to ekvipager på banen af gangen, når man alligevel alene bedømmer gangarter og ikke programmet. Og når man så når til finalen er det programridning.

Højdepunkter iflg. H2R i dag

Blue Hors Londoner med Christian Tudela Ruiz vender så rigtigt i alle vinkler, momentvis kunne man godt ønske sig en lettere kontakt på hånden.

Svenske Jeanna Högberg som er ny Helgstrand Dressage rytter kommer med to dejlige heste i dagens felt, hvor hoppen Finest Black Lady brillierer med stor og smidig trav, dagens højeste karakter for trav med 9,3.

Blue Hors Kingston og Nanna Merrald viser en total balanceret og “pletfri” tur og får alligevel kun 8,5 i ridelighed. Hvis 10 er det optimale hvorfor så ikke være noget tættere på, umiddelbart er eneste men at Kingston momentvis viser en knap helt lukket mund, så ridelighedsniveauet ligner mere om +9,0.

Amazing Grace er en særlig hoppe. Super spændende fremtidshest.

Kamar´s Express Noir Hit - den hest galoppere bare til 10 også selvom der kommer lidt spændinger i dag.
