Danish Daniel Bachmann Andersen for the second time qualified for the prestigious young horse Grand Prix series Louisdor Preis, for 8-10 year old horses.

Back in 2018 Daniel won the final with Blue Hors Veneziano, and this weekend he qualified once again. This time with the just 8 year old Danish Warmblood gelding Marshall-Bell by Blue Hors Don Romantic / Michellino, bred by Tina and Nicolai Jepsen and owned by  CVL Horses.

It was the first ever competition for Marshall not being home for sleeping, so of course Daniel was very please about his first appearance at a big scene like Oldenburg this weekend.

Both the preliminary and today’s performance was with high quality piaffe and passage tours, and clearly more settled over all picture today, where Daniel unfortunately was thinking left instead of right when starting the test today. Well balanced trot tour, strong passage and piaffe tours with nice transitions and super timing, good walk, no technical issues for the canter but you still get the feeling of some “green” moments with a bit of tensions for the series and pirouettes.

Subsequently former international rider Heike Kemmer did a bit of comments about each test together with Kim Kreling at Clipmyhorse. Kemmer pointed ex out that it was a pleasure to see the rider reward/pat the young obedient horse after the very demanding exercises being thankful that the horse has been doing a great job. And Daniel did of course feel sorry for his own mistake at the beginning, but was really proud of Marshall as he was clearly more relaxed for today’s test than Thursday, and Daniel is full of hopes for the future with Marshall. “And obviously with such a young horse you need to support him as he is still not able to find the way all by himself”, tells Daniel.

Kim Kreling for the final question how Daniel was feeling about being independent and now with own business. “Business is running very well, we have a lot to do, and even more than before, but it is very nice doing my own business. I’m very happy I have really good horses and really nice clients, and I’m looking very much forward to the future with more horses educated by myself.”

Today’s results here. As today’s 2nd placed Katharina Hemmer with Signorina already qualified in Verden, Lena Waldmann and Grey Flanell will be 2nd qualified from today at Oldenburg.

PRESS RELEASE

Verden. With the auction of the dressage stallions, the stallion licensing and stallion sales of the Hannoveraner Verband ended with an absolute highlight. After 17 stallions with modern jumping genes had already been licensed two days before, 25 two-and-a-half-year-old colts with exquisite dressage pedigrees received the positive licensing result. Eight of them were awarded a premium. The top price was 490,000 Euros, on average 126,409 Euros had to be invested for a licensed dressage stallion.

A dark chestnut by Sezuan/Sir Donnerhall (breeder: Gestüt Neff, Frankenberg, exhibitor: Pascal Kandziora, Spelle) out of the best dam line already convinced on the triangle. The impressive poverful mover aroused great desire. After the exciting bidding duel, the stallion was sold for 490,000 Euros to a customer from Schleswig-Holstein. For his exhibitor Pascal Kandziora the Niedersachsenhalle is a happy place, last year he had already prepared the top price colt for the licensing. Number two on the price scale was a son of Bon Coeur/Fürst Nymphenburg (breeder: Bernhard Dodenhof, Bülstedt, exhibitor: Nicole Schachtmann, Nürtingen), who will be travelling for 380,000 Euros to Helgstrand Dressage in Denmark. He will be accompanied by three other stallions. "The standard for the premiums was set very high," said Hannes Baumgart. The dressage rider and renowned trainer and breeder belonged to the licensing commission for the first time.

The most expensive stallion without a premium was a son of Farrell/Livaldon (breeder: Wienke Winkelmann, Wurster Nordseeküste, Ausst: Dr. Kerstin Klieber, Meinersen). The sunnyboy out of the damline of Stange will move for 110,000 Euros into a box at the stallion station of Gerd Sosath, Lemwerder, The State Stud Celle acquired three two-and-a-half-year olds: a bay by Diamond Hit/Lauries Crusador xx (breeder: Stefanie Meyer, Allwörden, exhibitor: Jochen Meyer, Allwörden), a bay Foundation/Competent (breeder and exhibitor: Dr. Michael Lühs, Wagenfeld) and a son of Zoom/Fürst Nymphenburg (breeder: Ludwig Fuchs, Meinerzhagen, exhibitor: Anneli Brunckhorst, Hollenstedt). A son of Quando Unico/San Amour (breeder and exhibitor: Heinrich Gießelmann, Barver) will leave in direction of the State Stud in Warendorf.

 The auction of the dressage stallions was opened by a varied show programme. Already in April, the privately owned stallion Foundation was awarded the Grande Prize. Now the bay stallion was honoured in a festive setting. Furthermore, the Mare of the Year, St.Pr.St. Daylight, was celebrated.

Huge activity and many buyers for today’s auction

The final day at this year’s HANN stallion licensing became with a few surprices.

As usual the Hanoverian breeding commission named more Premium stallions than the obvious best quality stallions, but surprisingly two stallions went clearly “off” for the breeding commission. No 51 by Blue Hors Farrell / Livaldon only got the licensing, as he showed clear qualities worth a Premium stallion. The stallion was sold at the auction to Gerd Sosath for 110.000 euro. At the same time the very well moving and super expressive Secret / Fürst Romancier with no 67 was surprisingly not licensed.

Gut Schönweide purchased the beautiful lever chestnut stallion by Sezuan / Sir Donnerhall I. Well moving and super well behaved by every single presentation, and even at the auction he was for a part of the auction presented by Pascal Kandziora standing relaxed in the middle and just enjoying the spotlight.

Helgstrand Dressage secured 4 top Hanoverian stallions at today’s auction - all Premium stallions:

  • 34 by Benicio / Scuderia - 380.000 euro

  • 37 by Bon Coeur / Fürst Nymphenburg - 320.000 euro

  • 63 by Secret / Belissimo M - 75.000 euro

  • 76 by Zoom / Waterford - 220.000 euro

    And additionally Helgstrand secured the super expressive and well moving Zackerey / Tomahawk before the licensing and now also licensed.

  • 37 by Bon Coeur / Fürst Nymphenburg - super model (unfortunately the presenter did not leave him a second to be able to stand still in front of the judges)

  • 44 De Niro / Sandro Hit - look like a very nice future sport horse

  • 51 Blue Hors Farrell / Livaldon - super boy

  • 52 D´avie / Desperados - super modern long legged type

  • 62 Revolution / Donnerschwee - stallion format

One more selection

This afternoon was with lunging of the stallions and once again you’ve got the chance to watch the stallions were you have even better possibillities to see the qualities of the balance, contact, frame and all 3 gaits.

H2R list reduced to 4 stallions: (66 Secret / Stedinger H2R top favourite after lunging)

FEI confirms Jumping & Dressage European Championships 2021 in Germany

IMG_8335.png

FEI confirms Jumping & Dressage European Championships 2021 in Germany

The FEI has committed to allocate European Championships in two Olympic disciplines – Jumping and Dressage – for 2021, both to German venues.

The FEI Board has confirmed allocation of the FEI Jumping European Championships 2021 to Riesenbeck, home-base of Barcelona 1992 Olympic champion Ludger Beerbaum, pending final confirmation from the Organiser. The Championships will be listed in the FEI Calendar for 30 August to 4 September 2021.

Confirmation of the decision on the two Championships came at yesterday’s FEI Board meeting, held via videoconference. The FEI Board, with the full support of the European Equestrian Federation (EEF), agreed that in view of the rescheduled Olympic and Paralympic Games and the huge amount of planning involved, if either of the venues is unable to host these Championships, the bid process for 2021 will not be re-opened.

Following the postponement of this year’s Tokyo Games to 2021, the FEI Board had previously ruled that European Championships in the Olympic and Paralympic disciplines should not be held next year to allow the focus to be on Tokyo. However, the EEF and a number of European National Federations urged the FEI Board to review its decision, resulting in yesterday’s resolution.

“We are very happy to have great venues at Riesenbeck and Hagen available to host the European Championships in Jumping and Dressage next year and we look forward to receiving the final confirmation from the two Organisers for these Championships to go ahead”, FEI President Ingmar De Vos said.

“These Championships have really been a great example of the FEI, EEF, the German National Federation, the two Organisers and everyone else involved working together to accommodate the wishes of the European National Federations and the Athletes’ community to have these Championships next year. I am particularly grateful for the valuable work done by the FEI Technical Committees and Calendar Task Forces.”

Sadly there will be no FEI European Eventing Championships in 2021 as the organisers that had put in expressions of interest to host the Championships subsequently withdrew from the process.

The FEI European Para Dressage Championships will also not take place in 2021 to allow athletes to focus on the Tokyo Paralympic Games.
