Danish national Young Horse Championships finals

Sunday was the big finale day at the national Danish Young Horse Championships at Blue Hors.

Blue Hors is for sure THE place for the finals. Even though it says autumn time outside, the huge indoor arena still offers the light and atmosphere all the way into the dressage arena.

For the dressage fans this year will be the last where we have to get up in the middle of the night to follow the finals, as from next year til jumping finals will take place at Stutteri Ask, and hopefully this will give the dressage people more “daily hours” for both training and competition during the finals.

Sport with top horses and great performances

4 year old final

Well deserved winner Danish Warmblood gold medal mare Valerie B by Revolution/Zack, bred by Peer Guldbrandsen and owned by Helgstrand Dressage. Anne-Mette Strandby Hansen showed the long legged well moving mare. Valerie is a very complete horse with 3 super gaits showing lot of power, but on and off still a bit too strong contact.

Placed 2nd Be Sure by Benicio/Scuderia, bred in Germany and owned by Helgstrand Dressage and ridden by Mette Sejbjerg Jensen. The high frequented stallion, shows expressive trot but for some moments on left rein the tongue became visual at the right side (unfortunately not commented by the judges), a good walk and also a good canter, which becomes, for some moments, a bit like a rocking chair with not that supple round front legs.

Bronze position for the long legged mare Quinn G / Fassbinder, bred and owned by Stutteri G, ridden by Anders Hoeck. A lovely elegant long legged mare with a nice natural frame, three really good basic gait but most of the time presented in a bit too high tempo.

Other opinions

Lille Kærgårds Sisco DWB by Blue Hors Don Olymbrio / Stedinger, bred by Louise Lundgård Nissen and owned by Claus Bertelsen ridden by Silje Bakken was one of the 4 year old horses being presented and also able to show a well balanced natural, light footed and easy presentation for all three gaits. This kind of presentation and balance should be rewarded at a much higher level for both ride ability and potential.

Among the other placed combinations the two mares Fabulosa by For Romance I / Depardieu, bred in Germany, owned by EVO / Helgstrand and ridden by Anne-Marie Hosbond and Remember Me DWB by Blue Horse Don Olymbrio / Sezuan, bred by Lena & Rasmus Dalsgaard, owner Bregnerødgaard were presented in a light and easy way, both missing the final sparkling power for the final.

5 year old

World Champion Danish Warmbood mare Lyngbjerg´s St. Paris by Blue Hors St. Schufro / Blue Hors Rockefeller, bred by Bente Børjesson and owned by Vallentin Dressage & Four Oaks presented by Victoria Vallentin. This mare just makes the perfect picture of lightness, ease and a happy athlete.

Placed 2nd Sir Floresco by Sir Heinrich / Floresco, bred in Germany, owned by Helgstrand and ridden by Moises Azuar. For the preliminary round Moises was not really able to show Sir Floresco in a correct frame as he was a bit on/off the forward search, this issue was solved for the small final where he well deserved won, and again for the final with a nice frame. It´s definitely not the most easy horse to place in the front, as he is also very supple and looks eager to do his job in the arena. For the final they were struggling a bit with the counter canter as more of the other combinations also did.

No 3 was Feine Bella NRW by Fürstenball / Bordeaux, bred in Germany, owned by Helgstrand and ridden by Eric Guardia Martinez. A lovely presentation, even though Eric was also struggling with the counter canter for the final.

Top busy and very successful EVO rider Anne-Marie Hosbond managed an impressive record for the 5 year old final with three horses top placed, Danesa Nord by Hesselhøj Donkey Boy / Belissimo M, bred by Vibeke Bjørn Rasmussen, owned by EVO. Together with Danesa Anne-Marie was named reserved combination earlier this year for WCYH in Ermelo. Placed 6 with Roxette by Revolution/Quite Easy, bred by Steffen Sunesen and owned by Future Dressage. Anne-Marie took over the reins before the championships as Future Dressage rider Josefine Hoffmann already was very busy, and this fairly new partnership has already become a successful partnership. A super nice match. Finally Anne-Marie was also placed 9 with the beautiful well moving mare St. Tropez by Santo Domingo / Rock Forever I, bred in Germany, owned by Stutteri EVO.

Mares for the future

Among the 5 year old horses Lyngbjerg´s St. Paris shows herself again and again as a horse for the future big sport. Also mares like Roxette, St Tropez and Søbakkehus Duffy by Sezuan / UNO Don Diego, bred Dorte and Hans Jørgen Hoeck and owned by the rider Michael Søgaard, all shows qualities for big sport.

6 year old

Anna Kasprzak successful in both 6 year old and 7 year old winning both finals.

With Danciero by Dancier / Floriscount she made an impressive entry going directly to the finals with a big win from the qualification this summer, big win again for the preliminary round and then also well deserved crowned new 6 year old Champion. Danciero really fits Anna, and with the best possible basic young horse education by German Eva Möller there has not been any obstacles. The only tiny detail has been a proper transformation from breeding stallion to now a top sport horse as a gelding. No doubt Danciero has the potential, and he also look like a horse with the right attitude for the sport. From the sideline both Anna´s horses were presented with a bit to high neck position.

Placed at silver position Carina Cassøe Krüth with Movie Star by Morricone / Blue Hors Bentley, bred in Germany, owned by Siri Evjemo Nysveen. The black stallion is a good mover in all three gaits and Carina does present him for the final with good energy and flow, even though you get the feeling from the side line that she has to ask him quite clearly to do the job. Sometimes the picture from the sideline says one thing, but as Carina tells he is actually a lovely forward going horse and very easy to educate, even though he is quite “noisy” during the test.

Bronze position for Susanne Barnow with Åtoftens Dancing Memory by ERA Dancing Hit / Benetton Dream, bred by Stutteri Åtoften and owned in partnership between the rider and the breeder. Well ridden and well educated long legged gelding. From following this combination the big gelding has made some huge steps from 5 year old into this 6 year old level, and it really look like that Susanne Barnow takes her time to let her horses develop bodywise, also when you sometimes think “this could be more spectacular”, they just develop very nicely over time.

The solid good education

When it comes to both 6 year old and also 7 year old it´´s more and more about the good education of the young horses.

Majken Faaborg Glerup with Midt-West Franceska by Franklin / Blue Hors Don Schufro, bred by Stutteri Midt-West and owned by the rider were the only amateur combination being able to fight in top of the field with two very nice performances where the timing was one of the key words. Showing the star pace trot with huge surplus, good walk and well performed canter tour with accurate flying changes.

Again Susanne Barnow shows her WCYH partner Skovdals Dexter by Hesselhøj Donkey Boy / Blue Hors Romanov, bred by Bjarne Skovdal, and owned by the rider. This horse just brings the x-factor when entering the arena. Super well moving in all three gaits with lots of expression, unfortunately for the final the surroundings became somewhat to exciting with a lot of tensions for the canter tour.

7 year old

Super close race between Everian L by Everdale / Hochadel bred by Karsten Bundgaard and owned by Future Dressage and Highfive Fuglsang by Grand Galaxy Win / De Niro, bred by Anne Dorte Riis Mayland and owned by family Darhlseng.

Super well educated both horses and both are able to perform with a lot of expression and no technical issues.

At bronze position is Suarez by Sezuan / Desperados, bred in Germany and owned by the rider Signe Kirk Kristiansen and Thomas Kirk Kristiansen. They really make a harmonious picture showing some nice performances with great accuracy in a good balance - a happy combination.

Placed 4th - again Anne-Marie Hosbond makes it to the top of the field as no 4 with her EVO Schubidoo by Blue Hors St. Schufro / Hotline. A horse that also develop with big steps over the season and now looks really comfortable at the finals.

Here you find all detailed results from the championships.

World champions out in force at Aarhus opener

All four members of the history-making Danish side that won team gold at the ECCO FEI World Championships 2022 in Herning, Denmark this summer will line out next weekend when the FEI Dressage World Cup™ 2022/2023 Western European League gets underway, again on their home ground but this time in Aarhus, Vilhelmsborg (DEN).

Nanna Merrald Rasmussen, Carina Cassøe Krüth, Daniel Bachmann Andersen and Cathrine Laudrup-Dufour arrived as favourites to take the team title in August, but were pushed every inch of the way by the powerful British and German sides that had to settle for silver and bronze. It was an enormous achievement for the Danes who only once before took a world championship podium placing when clinching bronze in Lausanne (SUI) in 1982. And Laudrup-Dufour’s silver-medal-winning double in the Grand Prix Special and Freestyle this summer was the icing on the cake.

With the new World Ranking system now in place for both Jumping and Dressage, Laudrup-Dufour is lying second on the current Dressage Athlete ranking list while Cassøe Krüth is in fifth and Merrald Rasmussen and Bachmann Andersen hold tenth and eleventh places respectively. Next weekend Cassøe Krüth will partner her Herning ride Heiline’s Danciera who lies fifth on the latest Dressage Horse ranking list.

Eight nations

Athletes from eight nations - Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Morocco, Netherlands, Norway and Sweden - will compete in the Short Grand Prix on Saturday 22 October from which the top 15 will qualify for Sunday’s points-deciding Freestyle.

 

The Danes may be a tough bunch to beat however because Laudrup-Dufour will partner her Tokyo 2020 Olympic ride Bohemian, the 12-year-old gelding with which she claimed Team and Grand Prix Special bronze and Freestyle silver at the FEI Dressage European Championships 2021 in Hagen (GER) last September. 

And adding more fuel to the Danish fire will be double-Olympian Andreas Helgstrand with the exciting 8-year-old stallion Jovian who won the 7-year-old title at the World Breeding Championships last year before posting a double of CDI3* wins in Aalborg (DEN) in May, another double at CDI3* Hagen (GER) in June and fifth and fourth places in the Grand Prix and Special at the CDI4* in Aachen (GER) later that month. 

This pair are definitely ones to look out for when the action kicks off, and with Anna Kasprzak and Lone Bang Zindorff also in the mix, the Danish contingent are a real force to be reckoned with this weekend.

German duo

However they may not have it all their own way because Germany will be represented by Helen Langehanenberg and Dorothee Schneider who have a world of experience and success behind them, and two great horses.

Langehanenberg was on the silver-medal-winning German team and finished individually fourth at the London 2012 Olympic Games with the stallion Damon Hill who she then went on steer to victory at the FEI Dressage World Cup™ Final a year later. She brings the 14-year-old mare Annabelle, who finished sixth in both the Short Grand Prix and Freestyle at the FEI Dressage World Cup™ 2022 Final in Leipzig (GER) in April, to Aarhus this week while Schneider, a double-Olympic team champion, will partner the 14-year-old gelding Faustus who, like Annabelle, competed on the gold-medal-winning German team at last year’s FEI Dressage European Championship and who has been a prolific winner this season at CDI3* and CDI4* level.  

Marc Peter Spahn (Jeroen Poll) will fly the Belgian flag while Emma Kanerva (Greek Air) will compete for Finland, Yessin Rahmouni (All at Once) will represent Morocco, Denise Nekeman (Boston STH) and Emmelie Scholtens (Desperado NOP) will line out for The Netherlands while Norway’s Mathilde Merethe (Sandbaeks Rio El) and Sweden’s Johanna Due Boje (Mazy Klovenhoj) and Jacob Noeerby Soerensen (Sheern) complete the startlist.

First stop

Aarhus is the first stop in the 12-leg FEI Dressage World Cup™ 2022/2023 Western European League that continues at Lyon (FRA) the following weekend before moving on to Stuttgart (GER) and Madrid (ESP) in November and then Salzburg (AUT), London (GBR) and Mechelen (BEL) in December.

The action will resume at Basel, St Jakobshalle (SUI) and Amsterdam (NED) in January 2023, and following legs in Neumünster (GER) and Gothenburg (SWE) in February the twelfth and final qualifier will take place in ’s-Hertogenbosch (NED) in March. 

The top 9 finishers in the League will qualify for the 2023 Final along with the defending champion, Germany’s Jessica von Bredow-Werndl, who is automatically qualified provided she competes twice during the season. 

The Final returns to Omaha (USA) from 4 to 8 April, where her compatriot and five-time champion - the legendary Isabell Werth - reigned supreme on the only other occasion it was staged there in 2017. 

The story of the 2022/2023 season will begin to unfold when the action gets underway on Saturday with the Short Grand Prix which starts at 19.00 local time followed by Sunday’s Grand Prix Freestyle which will kick off at 13.30. It’s going to be another super season, so don’t miss a hoofbeat…..

5 yr old HANN stalllion Iron new ride for Cathrine Laudrup-Dufour

Smiling Cathrine with HANN stallion Iron - photo credit: Catarina Hall

The 5 year old black stallion already moved to his future rider Cathrine Laudrup-Dufour.

Iron by Asgard’s Ibiza / Hohenstein is bred by Nedergaard Dressage and sold as a 3 year old (during the licensing) to Helgstrand Dressage & Stutteri EVO.

The lacquer black stallion already stole the heart of Cathrine, and of course also his new owner and long time client of Laudrup-Dufour Annabelle Pidgley.

As Cathrine describes Iron: “He is a top quality youngster and he gives an incredible feeling. He is hot but still very manageable, and for now we will keep him as a stallion,” says Cathrine.


Impressions from the 5 year old (video) and 6 year old preliminary classes today

For both 5 year old and 6 year old the best 12 combinations from today are directly qualified for the final Sunday. 3 more will join from Saturday´s small final from both 5 year old and 6 year old.

5 year old

The World Champion combination did not disappoint - they were once again unbeatable. It is a pure please to watch dressage like this. The ultra light footed mare by Blue Hors St. Schufro/Blue Hors Rockefeller showed herself with ease and lightness, well balanced, uphill in a steady natural frame all the way without any technical issues.

Feine Bella NRW and Eric Guardia Martinez - photo credit: Timo Martis

Placed 2nd with a lovely light and super performance was Eric Guardia Martinez with Feine Bella NRW by Fürstenball / Bordeaux. The steady contact and nice flow in a good balance just makes the great overall picture and clearly no 2 today.

Nor of the highly frequented stallions So Perfect or Blue Hors Monte Carlo were able to beat the strong mares today.

Clearly missing among the direct qualified was Rally von Rosing by Revolution / Tailormade Temptatioin and Simone Blomme Rasmussen. During this year they have obviously gain much more experience and grown into a very nice combination showing great overall qualities. Rally von Rosing with nice suppleness for all three gaits and showing great ride ability and potential for the future.

Unfortunately the judging was often missing the clear differences in the scoring of each gait. It is not that often when a horse shows all three basic gaits with same qualities as ex the mare Roxette scoring 8,5 for the trot, 8,5 for the walk and 8,6 for the canter. The canter is clearly the strongest pace with top quality more like +9,0 level.

Might be only from H2R point of view, but seems a bit odd when the judges sitting at the final today, were the same judges recently also were judging at the semifinals.

Directly for the final:

6 year old

Anna Kasprzak repeated yesterday´s success at 7 year old, today with her 6 year old former breeding stallion (now gelded) Danciero by Dancier / Floriscount. Nice active trot tour, super walk tour even though a clear 10 was a bit too positive, as the last freedom from the shoulders was missing, but no doubt a top walk. Very good canter and at the same time practical and active of the ground with huge ability.

Also international top rider Carina Cassøe Krüth showed the stallion Movie Star with a great performance, but still with some moments where you could “feel” a bit of the stallion attitude.

Majken Faaborg Glerup and Midt-West Franceska showed a very clever and well balanced test. Franceska is not a big canter mare, but Majken manage to show her where both horse and rider look as if they enjoy the moments. Best pure amateur combination - what a great achivement.

WCYH rider Susanne Barnow qualified two horses for the final and was placed 4th and 5th. Her World Championship partner from Ermelo Skovdals Dexter shows huge potential and makes a really beautiful and impressive picture in the arena. Today he was a bit impressed by the surrounding, as this was actually only his 2nd ever indoor event.

Also WCYH combination Duné Nec and Sissel Bille Jacobsen showed a very nice test with super extensions, super walk and today also with very well performed flying changes. (much more secure since WCYH)

When watching the entire class you were missing some more specific comments (and deduction in the ride ability) about the transition going out of the entering halt, halt with rein back when not balanced halt and tense rein back. Again here mostly the marks were at the same level and not really devided into each paces.

Directly ready for the final:

Impressions from the 4 year old and 7 year old qualifier today at Danish national Young Horse finals

4 year old

16 best combinations from today are ready for the final, 6 more to come from the semifinal which takes place Saturday. The final is Sunday.

Unfortunately there were some technical issues for the stream and the first two riders were missing, among them today´s 2nd placed Rosee de Fontaine with Maria Anita Andersen.

H2R focus about 4 year old

From H2R point of view the 4 year old championships should be about finding the best 4 year old horse judges from balance, self carriage, lightness in both contact and movements and regularity of each gait. The influence from the rider is of course a major factor, but at the same time you don´t want to see a “constructed” 4 year old.

Blue Hors Don Olymbrio offspring

Remember Me DWB by Blue Hors Don Olymbrio / Sezuan with Anna Zibrandtsen was the most correct young horse including the presentation, easy light going, natural frame, good balance and clear gaits, like also LIlle Kærgårds Sisco DWB by Blue Hors Don Olymbrio / Stedinger ridden by Silje Bakken, nice natural uphill frame, light of the ground movements forward to a steady contact.

4 year old directly qualified for the final:

7 year old

As usual the 7 year old level is a quite difficult task. From H2R point of view the top combinations definitely look like candidates for the international small tour scene. Among the top combinations were three of this years WCYH participants with winner Everian L, Highfive Fuglsang and EVO Schubidoo.

Anna Kasprzak with Everian L by Everdale / Hochadel showed a very strong performance without any issues and a lot of highlights with a technical score of 80,156%. In general good technical performances from the 8 best performances today. The two combinations Suarez with Signe Kirk Kristiansen and Scagletti V with Karin Nissen, both by Sezuan were “new” and very promising combinations with very good overall qualities.

7 year old directly qualified for the final:

Danish Young horse Championships missing two high profiles for 5 year old - and still no foreign judges

Søbakkehus Maude & Allan Grøn at WCYH in Ermelo this year - photo: Timo Martis

Tomorrow when the national Danish Young Horse Championships finals starts at Blue Hors it will of course be with some changes for the start lists.

Two of the 5 year old profiles are missing

The winner of this year’s Danish Warmblood Young Horse Championships Søbakkehus Maude by Hesselhøj Donkey Boy/Wilkens bred by Agnete Holmstad, owner Norcordia and rider Allan Grøn has not been at the entry list for the finals. This combination was also part of the Danish team at WCYH in Ermelo where they were directly qualified for the final and ended as no 12 in the final.

Allan Grøn about his absent from the finals: “Maude has developed with huge steps over the last 6-8 months and since she is supposed to be sold at some point, she needs to be allowed to breathe a little. I don't want to “snap an elastic band on her”, nor would I like to deliver an over trained horse to a customer due to ex intensive training for the final. This is actually why I don't ride the final, and it is of course my philosophy of training the young horse, in order to stay sound hopefully for many years”, says Allan.

No Iron

Champion stallion (by Danish Warmblood licensing) Iron by Asgard’s Ibiza / Hohenstein bred by Neergaard Dressage, owned by Helgstrand & EVO and ridden by Mette Sejbjerg Jensen were scratched at the entry list yesterday. This combination we all looked very much forward to watch, as they were missing among the German combinations for Ermelo this year. Unconfirmed rumours say that Iron has been sold to Pidgley family in the UK.

Still no foreign judges

The judging list it is still pure Danish judges for the finals. It is very disappointing that the Danish national federation (organisation behind the championships) are not able to present at least one foreign judge together with of course a team of Danish judges.

The Danish top youngsters, riders, breeders and owners deserve at least one pair of new eyes for their quality horses for the finals.

Here you find the start lists.

The entire event will live at Zibrasport.tv (free).

Masterclass med Nathalie “Du skal være innovativ i træningen af din hest”

To dage på tilskuerpladserne i ridehuset på det smukke Broholm Gods, hvor rigtig mange danmarksmestre er kåret gennem tiderne.

Idag danner hestesportscentret rammerne om dagligdagen for rytter og trænerparret Per Sandgaard og Pether Markne, som bruger faciliteterne til egne heste og heste i træning. Derudover er der også plads til kursister med egne heste, som kan komme på kortere eller længere ophold.

Det smukke Broholm Slot fungerer i dag med selskabslokaler, mødelokaler og naturligvis smukke, autentiske slotshotel faciliteter med tilhørende restaurant.

Masterclass

Weekendens Masterclass med Nathalie zu Sayn Wittgenstein var den første af slagsen på Fyn. Både ryttere og publikum fik fyldt ekstra håndgribelig nyt værktøj i deres værktøjskasse.

Første ekvipage på banen kl. 10.00 både lørdag og søndag, hver ekvipage med 40 minutters session, kun afbrudt af frokostpause og et par korte kaffepauser med slutekvipage kl. 17.45 lørdag.

Nathalie kender vi alle som succesfuld international rytter og i landstrænerrollen, mens der stadig ikke er så mange i Danmark, der kender hendes rolle som formidler og træner på jorden.

Overordnet handlede Nathalie’s Masterclass på Broholm om at lytte til rytterens udfordringer i forhold træningen af hesten, for i løbet af en enkelt lektion at kunne give rytteren nogle nye værktøjer til at løse udfordringerne med.

I løbet af de to dage regner det nærmest med nye eller nuancerede udtryk indenfor dressurens verden. Man er ikke i tvivl om Nathalie’s engagement, og selvom der er langt fra alle som er gode formidlere, så gør Nathalie dressurens svære ABC levende visuelt når hun forklarer hvordan teknikken bruges, og hvordan man kan afhjælpe et konkret problem.

Et uddrag af mange statements fra Nathalie i løbet af dagene:

“Nogle gange øver og øver man en øvelse uden man synes man når målet, en pause kan ofte give den bonus man søger”

“1.000 repetitioner hvis hesten har indlært en øvelse forkert - det handler om ren tålmodighed”

“Det handler om at bevare kontrol og samling også ud af en øvelse som ex. piaffe op i passage - hesten skal blive på bagbenene”

“Vær konsekvent i din ridning - vær tydelig i hvad du vil når du giver signaler til din hest”

“Man kan kun ride frem når hesten virkelig er i selvbalance og man giver efter”

“Du skal hele tiden mærke, at du kun vil have gram i hånden”

Ingen tvivl om at den viden Nathalie har både teoretisk og praktisk kan omsættes til virkelighed for rytteren, som både er nysgerrig for at begive sig ud på nyt vand, og samtidig også ønsker sig endnu flere løsninger på hverdagens træningsudfordringer.

12, 13 and 14 October with Westphalian stallion pre-selection

7 year old Escamillo by Escolar / Rohdiamant - photo: Timo Martis

Top of the list is Escamillo with 10 sons for the upcoming Westphalian stallion pre-selections.

Second most offsprings by Viva Gold (2016 by Vivaldi / For Romance) with 9 sons.

6 sons by Bon Courage, Le Formidable, Vaderland and Zoom.

As usual you have the possibility to follow the entire pre-selections days LIVE at Clipmyhorse.

Here you find the entire list of stallions for the pre-selection.

Masterclass med Nathalie zu Sayn Wittgenstein i weekenden på Broholm Slot

Masterclass med HH Prinsesse Nathalie zu Sayn Wittgenstein på Broholm Ridecenter og Slot

Hvordan får vi mere ud af hverdagens ridning? Hvordan kan vi vedblive at udvikle os som ryttere, hvor vi stadigvæk har hensynet til hesten i focus?

Vi skal se på heste i forskellige uddannelsesniveauer, hvor Nathalie vil hjælpe med dagligdagens problemer. Fokus vil være på hvor er hesten nu hvordan skal den udvikle sig, hvad er ambitionen med hesten og hvad er realistisk.

Per Sandgaard og Michael Søgaard vil derudover i dialog med Nathalie også diskutere og fremvise hvordan de afhjælper hverdagens problemer, helt fra de mest basale ting til changementer, piaffe, passage og galop pirouetter.

MIDDAG PÅ BROHOLM SLOT KL 18 D 8-10-2022

Spørgsmål og svar til Nathalie under middagen. Moderator Michael Søgaard.

Det danske VM-guldhold tilWorld Cup på Vilhelmsborg

Pressemeddelelse

Et spændende felt af internationale ryttere har sammen med det danske VM-guldhold meldt deres ankomst til FEI Dressage World Cup på Vilhelmsborg i uge 42

Den danske afdeling af FEI Dressage World Cup finder i år sted på Det Nationale Hestesportscenter Vilhelmsborg ved Århus. Det danske VM-guldhold kommer til start, og dermed er der mulighed for endnu en World Cup-sejr på hjemmebane.
Danmark åbner traditionen tro World Cup-serien i den vesteuropæiske liga, og sædvanligvis er det MCH Messecenter Herning, som lægger sine fremragende faciliteter til dette internationale stævne. I år har arrangørerne bag fået grønt lys fra FEI til at flytte kvalifikationen til Vilhelmsborg.
”Vi har valgt at flytte World Cup kvalifikationen til Vilhelmsborg af flere grunde,” indleder Casper Cassøe som sammen med Jens Trabjerg står bag afviklingen af stævnet. Han fortsætter: ”Vi har lige haft VM i Herning, og det var et kæmpe arrangement. Derfor har vi set på, hvad det realistisk set kan lade sig gøre i forhold til at tiltrække sponsorere, udstillere og publikum til en World Cup. På Vilhelmsborg er etableringsomkostningerne minimale, og vi er sikre på, vi kan lave en super World Cup afvikling med en fantastisk stemning i en fyldt hal.”

Det er i år 17. gang Danmark er vært for FEI Dressage World CupTM i skolernes efterårsferie i uge 42. Under corona-pandemien blev World Cup-stævnet flyttet fra Herning til Vilhelmsborg, og det blev afviklet med stor succes.

Guldholdet kommer til start
Det danske VM-guldhold fra Herning har meldt deres ankomst til Vilhelmsborg anført af Cathrine Laudrup-Dufour og Bohemian. Cathrine sejrede sidste år i Herning med Atterupgaards Cassidy og året forinden på Vilhelmsborg netop med Bohemian. Sidste år red Carina Cassøe Krüth sig ind på andenpladsen med Heiline’s Danciera, og de er til start igen i år efter en forrygende sæson, hvor de sluttede på 4. pladsen i World Cup finalen. Nanna Merrald Rasmussen kommer til start med Blue Hors St. Schufro. Den sidste VM-rytter Daniel Bachmann Andersen har leveret Marshall-Bell tilbage til de nye ejere, men kommer til start med Zippo M.I. som han sejrede med i Falsterbo Horse Show i sommer. Så bliver det også et godt gensyn med Anna Kasprzak og Addict de Massa, Lone Bang Zinforff med Thranegaardens Rostov og Andreas Helgstrand med den dobbelte UVM-guldvinder Jovian med flere.
Fra udlandet kommer spændende profiler som; Dorothee Schneider (GER), Helen Langehanenberg (GER), Kristy Oatley (AUS) og Emma Kanerva (FIN).

Jens Trabjerg udtaler: ”I de 17 år jeg har afviklet World Cup, har der aldrig været så stærkt et dansk hold til start som i år. Vi ser virkelig frem til at få masser af spændende sport under stævnet.”

Et spændende program for dressurfans
Under normale omstændigheder afvikles internationale springklasser sideløbende med World Cup-kvalifikationen i dressur, men det har arrangørerne fravalgt i år. I år bliver der fuldt fokus på dressur, og et spændende program, der åbner allerede torsdag den 20. oktober med klasser for juniorer og ungryttere.
Fredag afvikles 3* stor og lille tour i hhv. Grand Prix og Prix st. George. Flere af toprytterne har meldt deres ankomst med deres unge talenter til lille tour. Det bliver særdeles interessant at opleve dem i konkurrence på Vilhelmsborg. De tre danske OL-deltagere kommer med deres unge talenter: Cathrine Laudrup-Dufour har 7-årige Vividus QRE til start, Nanna Merrald Rasmussen kommer med UVM-sølvvinderen Blue Hors Touch of Olympic L og Carina Cassøe Krüth starter Four Oaks Diaz by Zaber.

I den 3* Grand Prix og Grand Prix Special bliver det også spændende at se flere etablerede Grand Prix-heste som Anna Kasprzak og Rock Star og Lone Bang Zindorff med Bakkelys Onandt, mens Andreas Helgstrand starter Quenparks Wendy, Carina Cassøe Krüth starter Heiline’s Zackton og Anna Zibrandtsen har Quel Filou til start. De danske ryttere suppleres af flere internationale profiler.
Der bliver også fokus på den nye serie for U25-ryttere; Lövsta Future Challenge for U25-ryttere som i år afvikles ved Gothenburg Horse Show, Jumping Amsterdam og World Cup Vilhelmsborg. Serien gør det muligt for U25-ryttere at konkurrere ved World Cup stævner, og dermed få en god overgang fra ungdomsrækkerne til seniorniveau. Klassen er åben for 8 ryttere, hvor arrangørerne (Danmark, Sverige og Holland) hver har mindst 2 pladser. Ved hvert stævne afvikles 2 klasser FEI U25 Grand Prix og FEI Grand Prix Kür.

Lørdag er det tid for FEI Dressage World CupTMGrand Prix præsenteret af Blue Hors, og søndag er der World Cup finale for de bedste 15 ryttere i freestyle.
Der er gratis entre på Vilhelmsborg torsdag og fredag. Billetter til lørdag og søndag kan købes forud på hjemmesiden, eller ved indgangen, hvis der fortsat er billetter.
