Swiss Andrina Suter conquer Frankfurter Festhalle
From the qualifiers you were not in doubt that it was not a coincidence when Andrina qualified her two young horses for the finals.
Postive riding and two horses with eager to perform, with three super gaits, lovely contact, both very well educated and does not show any tensions or weaknesses during their tests. This is for sure two high quality horses showing so much basic qualities for the future.
Follow Up v. Follow Him’s Schönweide – Diamond Hit – Londonderry. (OLD-Art)
Two well moving stallions but not really showing something extra during the testing.
The expectations were huge and Lottie and Glammy just delivered today
The double World Champion and team silver combination Glamourdale with Charlotte Fry did not disappoint. They delivered an powerful, expressive, high quality and error free test. Lottie rides as she has been doing this for ages. Such an overview, fully concentrated and still able to make some minor adjustments during their test - THAT´S WORLD CLASS RIDING ON A WORLD CLASS HORSE.
When looking down the scoring sheet more 9´s has not been to much, for ex. halt with rein back, the first piaffe and unfortunately huge judging disagreement for the centerline with pirouettes and one times.
Here you have the link for the entire results.
H2R running comments about the World Champion combination:
Superb halt, wow super diagonal balanced uphill powerful, supple crossing uphill half passes, superb halt good rein back, super into passage, WOW PIAFFE AT THE SPOT smooth transitions, relaxed walk with good quality, good into canter, supple super zigzag bit short final, super 2 times, super pirouettes sit and balance, super ones, POWER extended canter, LOOKS AS HE COULD KEEP ON FOR THE FINAL PIAFFE FOREVER!!! 84,026%
Here you can watch their winning performance.
Today 21 stallions were presented for the pre-selection at Vilhelmsborg. A total of 10 young stallions got the attractive ticket for the main licensing in Herning 8 - 12 March.
Due to an outbreak of strangles at Helgstrand Dressage Young Horse division Ny Ravnstrup the pre-selection was moved to Ny Ravnstrup. Here 14 stallions were presented for the licensing commission, and 9 stallions got the ticket for the main licensing.
Two very well know breeders were represented again with stallions selected namely Straight Horse and Stutteri Atterupgaard like the breeders Lena and Rasmus Dalsgaard already had one stallion from their breeding selected at Vallensbæk (Valueable by Valverde/Sezuan, owned by Vicky Lavoie).

Final 2-days test of stallions in 2022
Wednesday at 2 pm with stallions presented under own rider, and Thursday at 2.15 pm with test rider part.
Both days will be possible to follow at Clipmyhorse.
Stallions for the 2-days test:
Efter endt forbesigtigelse af hhv. springhingstene og dressurhingstene var avlerne inviteret til en orienterende information, omkring de nye tiltag, i forbindelse med kåring af springhingstene og dressurhingstene.
Der var lidt spørgsmål under vejs fra tilhørerne som blev besvaret fra kåringskommisionen, og konklusionen fra avlerne var at de var klar på at afprøve det nye koncept. For springhingstenes vedkommende bliver det mere baseret på en kombination af afprøvning og sport, hvor man umiddelbart også godt kunne ønske sig noget tilsvarnede for dressurhingstene i forhold til trinvis godkendelse, herunder at man ikke forhåndsgodkender nykårede hingste fra udenlandske forbund, men at de naturligvis er velkomne på lige fod med de danske som er udtaget via forbesigtigelserne.
Information om ændringer af kåringskonceptet for både spring og dressur - LINK til video her.

FEI introduces more flexibility to maternity leave provision in Ranking Rules
The FEI has made changes to the existing rules regarding maternity leave in order to introduce further flexibility and give athletes the option of adapting the duration of their maternity leave to their individual situation. The decision was taken by the FEI Board at its last teleconference for 2022 held on 6 December.
The previous minimum period for a medical and maternity leave, which had been included in the Ranking Rules for Jumping, Dressage, and Driving, was six months and the maximum period 12 months.
Following various opinions expressed by athletes, who wished to have the flexibility to return to competition from maternity leave earlier than six months, the Board took the decision to shorten the minimum period to three months, without changing the maximum period, which remains 12 months. In addition, athletes will now have the possibility to come back earlier than originally indicated when they initially requested the leave. To do so, they will need to give a four-week notice for Dressage and Driving. For Jumping, a 10-week notice is required if riders want to be eligible to receive an invitation under the FEI Online Invitation System, but only four weeks if the athlete intends to participate in the event further to another kind of invitation, such as an OC invitation or a wildcard.
The relevant changes to the wording of the respective Ranking Rules will be published in the Jumping, Dressage, and Driving rules sections on the FEI website.
The provisions for medical leave remain unchanged, the minimum period being six months and the maximum period 12 months.
The Board also approved the incorporation of medical/maternity leave provisions (as updated) into the FEI Endurance and FEI Para Dressage Ranking Rules for the first time. The respective Ranking Rules will be published under the Endurance and Para Dressage rules sections on the FEI website.
The FEI Eventing Committee has considered including medical and maternity leave provisions in the Eventing Ranking Rules but is currently not in favour for risk management reasons.
Maternity and medical leave provisions for Vaulting are currently being examined by the Technical Committee and updates will be provided in due course.
“It is good news that the Board has allowed for greater flexibility regarding maternity leave,” FEI Secretary General Sabrina Ibáñez said. “The FEI was one of the first international sports organisations to introduce provisions for maternity leave in April 2010 and we remain committed to protecting the welfare of our athletes. These rules had been first put in place for Jumping and were gradually extended to Dressage and Driving. This had been done in order to allow athletes, who have had a baby, not to lose all their Rankings points while off the circuit.
“The FEI has listened to the riders who have expressed the desire to have the option of returning to competition earlier than six months and the FEI Board is very much in favour of supporting athletes wishing to achieve the best possible balance between family life and a high level sports career. The Ranking Rules in all the FEI disciplines are living documents and we will keep on reviewing the maternity and medical leave provisions to make sure they remain relevant and fair.”

Dressage Clinic (in Swedish)
Saturday evening Norwegian Horse Festival Lillestrøm were hosting a clinic sponsored by Andresen Dressage.
The clinic was with Swedish rider Carl Hedin and his 4 year old approved stallion Skyline to B by Blue Hors St. Schufro / Ampere. Skyline has already been successful winning both 3 year old and 4 year old Swedish Young Horse Championships, and he already done super performance test and sport test.
The clinic is in Swedish, but for the breeders and dressage people not understanding a single word of Swedish, you can just enjoy this very special 4 year old stallion step by step, where Carl is telling about his way of riding and educating the horse. At the end of the clinic Carl showed how much power and potential this young stallion have.
Skyline to B will again in 2023 stand at stud Dressurleistungszentrum Lodbergen.
