Germany prevails in battle of champions at Aachen
The podium looked nearly identical in the FEI Grand Prix and Grand Prix Special as Germany, Denmark and Great Britain battled for top honors in the FEI Dressage Nations Cup™ at Aachen (GER), and as the start list reached its end in the Special, only the top two athletes in the FEI Dressage World Ranking remained—Jessica von Bredow-Werndl (GER) and Charlotte Fry (GBR).
The reigning individual Olympic and FEI Dressage World Cup™ Champions, von Bredow-Werndl and DSF Dalera BB took their second victory of the week Saturday at the World Equestrian Festival, receiving 81.021% in the Special to go along with a Grand Prix win Thursday (82.304%). Those scores clinched a fourth Nations Cup victory of the 2023 season for Germany.
Led by von Bredow-Werndl, Isabell Werth (DSP Quantaz), Frederic Wandres (Bluetooth OLD), and Sönke Rothenberger (Fendi). Germany's winning total was 468.285 points, the sum of the team's top three scores in both tests. Denmark finished second with 460.097 points, followed by Great Britain (459.756 points).
"For me, it is not as much about winning, but instead about the development. It still feels like there is room for improvement. [TSF Dalera BB] felt so, so good."
Jessica von Bredow-Werndl
The Grand Prix Special was particularly impressive for Germany, who did not have a rider finish outside of the top 10. For Rothenberger, the test was especially meaningful, as he and his 9-year-old stallion Fendi improved their score by nearly five percentage points after having some tense moments in the Grand Prix.
"In preparation for the [Grand Prix], I had a really good feeling. He was super training in the main arena, and I underestimated the atmosphere [during competition]," Rothenberger said. "I don't have a spooky horse, but I could feel he was getting quite tense, and I couldn't support him how I would have liked to support him."
"It took two and a half days in between [the Grand Prix and the Grand Prix Special] to give him security in the arena. That was my main goal, and I'm really happy with the confidence we could give him. This was the third Special [Fendi] has ever done, and I'm really happy with how well I could get him back on my side. I'm really proud of him."
Sönke Rothenberger
Ultimately, consistency was the deciding factor when it came to separating the world's top combinations. Great Britain's Charlotte Dujardin (Imhotep) and Charlotte Fry (Everdale) were repeatedly on von Bredow-Werndl's heels, but Wandres and Werth were never far behind, either.
"It's always a good thing when you can show consistency, especially in team competition and especially with Bluetooth OLD. In the Grand Prix, he had a very harmonious and exceptional round," Wandres said. "The feeling we started with [in the Special] in the extended trot to passage, forward and backward, he felt so amazing. I'm proud of him to shine in an arena like that."
Germany extended its lead in the FEI Dressage Nations Cup™ standings with 56 points. Sweden sits second with 32 points, followed by Denmark with 28 points.
The 2023 FEI Dressage Nations Cup™ season concludes at Falsterbo (SWE) on 16 July 2023.

VIDEOS - Girls on fire for Danish Warmblood final selection
Danish Warmblood final selection
Today and tomorrow with final selection of 4 from each year + 2 reserves. It was definitely not the best weather conditions for the young horses today. It was very windy in the courtyard where the arena is at Vilhelmsborg, and that of course affected more for the young horses today. Worst for the 6 year old and 7 year old horses which also are the ones with most demanding tests.
5 year old
10 five year old combinations were at start today and four clear candidates stood out:
Quinn G by Quaterhit / Fassbinder, bred by Stutteri G, ridden by Betina Jæger Jensen - this combination still look like a medal. (Video below)
Valerie B by Revolution / Blue Hors Zack, bred by Karin og Peer Guldbrandsen, ridden by Anne Mette Strandby Hansen, is a big moving mare, today with better relaxation and less push from the rider, overall very harmonious presentation, and with three really good basic gaits. (Video below)
Lille Kærgårds Sisco DWB by Blue Hors Don Olymbrio/Stedinger, bred by Louise Lundgaard Nissen, ridden by Silje Bakken, modern, expressive and well moving in all three gaits, unfortunately today with unbalance at the end of extensions, but for sure a high quality horse.
Grevens Sirius by Secret / Johnson, bred by Stutteri Greven, ridden by Michael Grønne Christensen. For the first selection young Alexander Helgstrand was in the saddle of the gigantic gelding and it looked like quite a job, but today with Michael Grønne the big gelding became more like impressive instead of gigantic. Expressive well balanced with very good trot, super canter and good walk.
Two extraordinary 5 year old mares
6 year old
Today three best presentations:
Again today World Champion mare Lyngbjergs St. Paris by Blue Hors St. Schufro/Rockefeller, bred by Bente Børjesson with Victoria Vallentin were showing their high performance abilities and are ready for Ermelo again.
The stallion Hesselhøj Double Up by Hesselhøj Donkey Boy/Tailormade Lancelot, bred by Hesselhøj, ridden by Anders Hoeck is an expressive well moving stallion, today a bit on and off for some moments in the balance and need to show a bit more constant search for the contact as he becomes a bit short in the neck showing bit open mouth.
Roxette by Revolution/Quite Easy, bred by Stutteri Sorgenfri, ridden by Frederikke Gram Jacobsen showed a much more convincing performance today than last time with better balance and expression.
Unfortunately Anne Marie Hosbond was struggling a bit with both her horses today due to the very windy weather.
7 year old
The only combination performing with just a single “hiccup” at the end today was Ambjergs Delgadino by Hesselhøj Donkey Boy/Blue Hors Don Romantic, bred by Malene Clausen, ridden by Emma Ahlberg.
All the other combinations were struggling with more errors through out their performances. Weather, demanding exercises and maybe a bit to much preparation for today made the difference.
But Midt-West Franceska with Majken Faaborg Glerup and Susanne Barnow with Åtoftens Dancing Memory together with Bruunholms Flora and Lone Bang look like the team for Ermelo.
Wednesday is decision day which combinations will go to Ermelo.

Danish Warmblood raised the bar with quality and top prices at Saturday´s foal auction
Saturday evening Blue Hors and Danish Warmblood were hosting the first foal auction of the year at Danish soil.
From the video presentation it was a good collection with interesting pedigree, but from the first step for the LIVE presentation at the outdoor arena Saturday afternoon, it was pretty much a WOW experience. The top foals were really showing off for the presentation, and when it came to the auction the buyers were ready too.
19 foals were at the auction and 16 were sold at an average price of 16.625 euro.
Link to full results from the auction.
Here you have some of the highlights during the auction ⬇️
28.000 euro top price at HANN filly by Eastwood - rest of the collection with very limited prices
A total collection of 34 dressage foals were sold at this auction. Unfortunately only top price filly above 6.000 euro - rest lower than 6.000 euro!
Here you find the entire results.
Daniel Bachmann Andersen guest rider in Pavo Cup
NEWS AT KWPN 23 JUNE
Daniel Bachmann Andersen will be this year’s guest rider in the Pavo Cup. The experienced Danish rider will test the best four-, five- and six-year-old dressage horses and afterwards share his findings with the jury.
Bachmann Andersen gained acclaim with his sympathetic riding style as a participant in the World Breeding Championships for Young Dressage Horses and in the Grand Prix ring. His long list of achievements includes team gold at the WC of Herning. The rider has had many young horses under his saddle in the past and was twice asked to be a test rider of the five-year-old stallions at the stallion show in Denmark. “It is an honour that the KWPN has invited me to be a guest rider at the Pavo Cup”, says Daniel.
Complete horse
Bachmann Andersen is looking for the most complete horse in the Pavo Cup. The most spectacular mover is not necessarily the winner in his eyes. “Of course, I love the feeling of horses with outstanding movements. However, functionality is my number one priority. I am not the someone that is looking for the flashiest movers. A rider must be able to collect that mega trot or mega canter as well.” Besides three solid gaits, the Danish rider deems rideability another crucial element: “I attach great value to rideability. You must get through to the horse, be able to communicate with them. The way a horse responds to my aids is important to me. So is the natural aptitude for collection in case of the five- and six-year-old horses.”

Barbançon leads dominant French performance in Rotterdam
History was made Saturday in Rotterdam, as France recorded a convincing victory in the FEI Dressage Nations Cup™ of The Netherlands—a first for the nation in the event.
Led by Chef d'Equipe Jean Morel, the four-rider squad of Alexandre Ayache (Jolene), Pauline Basquin (Sertorius de Rima Z Ifce), Corentin Pottier (Gotilas du Feuillard) and Morgan Barbançon (Habana Libre A) finished the FEI Grand Prix, Grand Prix Special and Grand Prix Freestyle tests with a winning total of just 11 points.
Germany finished second with 38 points, followed by Sweden (44 points). Each point is equivalent to a finish position of a team athlete, with each team receiving one drop score in the Grand Prix and between the Special and Freestyle tests.
Basquin, Pottier and Barbançon each made the podium at least once, with Basquin recording a personal best (73.468%) aboard the 13-year-old gelding Sertorius de Rima Z Ifce to finish as the highest-ranked team rider (second individually) in the Special. Pottier also finished second in the Freestyle (78.220%) with Gotilas du Feuillard.
But it was Barbançon who led the way, winning both the Grand Prix and the Freestyle with her 11-year-old gelding, Habana Libre A.
"[Habana Libre A] is the best I've ever ridden. He has a great mind, three very good gaits, and he always wants to work. He keeps getting better."
Morgan Barbancon (FRA)
While the Grand Prix test was a familiar one for the pair, the Freestyle offered new challenges. Performing their routine for just the second time, they flirted with 80%, receiving 79.820% from the judges.
"[My horse] was a little bit more tense [in the Freestyle]. It was only our second time riding this Freestyle; I tried it a couple weeks ago for the first time," Barbancon said. "He was concerned to start, because the atmosphere was extreme, and I was a little scared about how he would react. After the first halt, he relaxed and listened to me. I'm very, very proud of him."
France's performance was so dominant, the Nations Cup title had already been secured when Pottier entered the arena for his Freestyle. That put the rider in a unique position, and a second-place finish provided a most memorable bonus.
"That was a bit peculiar, knowing that we had won but still having to ride myself, but it was also quite a special feeling," he said. "I was here for the first time last year with the team. Then, we finished fourth, so to now be the winners is a really nice improvement."
The 2024 Paris Olympic Games will be hosted on home soil for France, making them a primary objective for the French squad. For Chef d'Equipe Jean Morel, a Nations Cup victory served as evidence that his team is on the right track.
"This was real teamwork today. It was more than a year of work together that led to us picking the fruits of our labour today. I hope we can keep improving and keep growing."
Jean Morel
France now sits third in the FEI Dressage Nations Cup™ standings with 18 points. Germany continues to lead the rankings with 31 points, while Sweden is second with 25 points.
The 2023 FEI Dressage Nations Cup™ season continues at Aachen (GER) on 1 July 2023.
Hvad kan netværk i hestebranchen?
Når man træder ud på åbent vand
En helt almindelig onsdag havde H2R taget turen til Vilhelmsborg for at snuse til NETVÆRKSMØDE i hestebranchen, hvad det egentlig var for en størrelse.
Er netværk noget man kan bruge i hestebranchen? Og hvad får man ud af at være med i netværk? Det var et par af de spørgsmål som H2R håbede på at kunne få svar på den onsdag på Vilhelmsborg.
Omkring 30 forskellige firmaer, alle indenfor hestebranchen, havde valgt at bruge en onsdag på Netværksmøde. Lidt over kl. 11 havde deltagerne fundet deres pladser og det var tydeligt, at snakken gik på tværs af bordene, inden facilitator Tine Bjerregaard tog ordet og bød velkommen. Herefter stod den på kort intro bordet rundt, hvor alle lige kort fik præsenteret deres virksomhed.
Løvinde
Anne Stampe Olesen, 35-årige iværksætter, erhvervskvinde og “løvinde” fra TV serien på DR, Løvens Hule deltager var dagens taler. En helt igennem stærk kvinde, som har noget på hjertet. Anne Stampe brænder ikke kun igennem på skærmen, hun brænder i særdeleshed også igennem live. Der er ingen tvivl om, at hun gør en kæmpe forskel hos kvindelige iværksættere - hun er en klar “rollemodel”, uanset hun nu også er “kendt fra TV”. Derudover er Anne også en rigtig hestepige, hesteejer, ponymor og formand for Viborg Rideklub.
Anne fortalte om hele forløbet omkring Løvens Hule, som er et intensivt forløb over 3 uger fra morgen til aften med optagelser, hvor hver enkelt deltager har en time foran løverne.
Nordic Female Founders blev stiftet for knap 3 år siden og tæller i dag 13 forskellige virksomheder, hvor Anne hver mandag/tirsdag har online møder med “tal” opfølgning, og som Anne udtrykker det “så kan de fleste godt lide mig”.
Herefter fortalte Anne lidt om de virksomheder som hun har investeret i og deres udvikling, herunder Investor club med både mænd og kvinder.
Female Founders House med base i København er etableret med henblik på at hjælpe iværksættere med ALT fra revision, markedsføring, investering m.v., her kan man for kr. 2.500 om måneden købe en “kontorplads”, og har dermed hjælpen lige ved hånden.
Styr på “penalhuset”
Fra Anne Stampe kom der flere guldkorn under vejs, men gentagende gange nævnte hun vigtigheden af at have “styr på penalhuset”. Det handler om 80% struktur og 20% kreativitet for en forretning med en “bæredygtig” eksistens.
Den kvindelige iværksætter er i gennemsnit 38 år, og blot 27% af alle iværksættere er kvinder. Ud af de midler som ansøges via Vækstfonden tegner kvindelige iværksættere sig kun for 4,4%.
Et fantastisk indspark fra en kvinde, som har været der og ikke mindst ER der lige nu. (Se nyeste ændringer hos Female Founders længere nede her).
Fremtidige arrangementer
Efter skøn frokost var der lidt om fremtidige arrangementer i Equilink regi, herunder Equilink Boost webinar.
Gruppe opgave
Eftermiddagen stod på gruppeopgave i 2 timer. Umiddelbart uoverskuelig lang tid uden nogen speciel agenda udover at skulle fortælle om sin egen virksomhed. Men selvom paraderne var mentalt oppe, så gik der ikke mange minutter før alle i gruppen var klar til at hjælpe hinanden. De udfordringer som alle med egne forretninger har, kunne alle relaterer sig til, og ikke mindst komme med input til uanset hvilken del af branchen man var i - det hele lugtede jo af hest på den ene eller anden måde. En enestående måde at kunne bruge hinanden på og dermed få netværket rigtigt i spil.
I “min” gruppe var der udstyrsforretning, kandidat i mobning, sadelmager, sælger af staldinventar og salgsleder i forsikringsselskab. De 2 timer var super spændende med masser gode input og ping-pong med løsningsforslag og ideer til den enkelte at kunne tage med hjem.
Tak for en spændende netværksdag, hvor man virkelig kunne mærke værdien i at sparre med kollegaer indenfor branchen, og drage nytte af hinandens kompetancer og erfaringer.

6 year old and 7 year old German horses long listed for final selection for WCYH in Ermelo
Yesterday and today with test riding of the preliminary tests for 6 year old and 7 year old horses in Warendorf.
As usual some surprices came up, and among the 6 year old the Danish owned super mare St. Tropez by Santo Domingo / Rock Forever I, ridden by Anne-Marie Hosbond did not pass the German selection.
After their test Mr. Plewa said: “This is a very elegant and long legged dressage horse, showing a good hindleg, mayby with a bit more suppleness, nice transitions to collection, walk totally clear beat, bit limited over track, but the clarity of the beat was impressive, canter with good air time, could show more ground cover for the extensions and maybe also a bit more supple, but clear potential to sit and collect, clear three beat, technical good quality, the horse was always shown in a good frame, highlights for the lateral work with outstanding cadence with half passes with lots of shoulder freedom with huge crossing, the flying changes with good jump and quality, but for the canter the pure suppleness was somewhat failing today.”
At H2R top list:
In My Mind
St. Tropez - NOT long listed
Life Time
St. Felice - St Schufro / Fürstenball with Marcus Hermes NOT long listed. Lovely lightfooted mare with good expression and quality.
long listed 6 year old
long listed 7 year old
With a super presentation Danciero and Danish Anna Kasprzak were clearly on to the final selection. Comments about their test from Mr. Plewa: “Convincing trot tour with a lot of swing and very good developed from the hind legs, for the extensions you could wish for even more push from the hind legs under body, but nice ability to collect, the walk from the beginning very clear beat, very obedient, the canter a highlight, very very nice uphill, absolutely clear beat, super straight extensions very rhythmical with good ground cover, the rider could show the horse with a bit more open frame for the extensions, for even higher marks direction maximum marks, the submission with good marks the steady well balanced frame with good steady closed mouth, tiny deduction for tiny moments behind the vertical for the extensions, very good pirouettes with surplus for the 2nd fully balanced and nice sit, small advice remember to keep the horse straight when making the circles. All in all a convincing performance.”
Today´s “winner” performance from H2R point of view was from Diaton and Nicole Wego-Engelmeyer - impressive well moving, super expressive stallion.
Mr. Plewa´s comments: “The trot very dynamic, elastic, very nice cadance, and able to bring this candance for the lateral work with super regularity, the walk is spacious with good use of the back, another highlight is the canter, everything easy and supple, super extensions with lot of ability to collect and take weight for the transitions, very controlled pirouettes, for submission not really anything to note, maybe for the half passes the horse is a bit to bended, impressive with the ease and obedience of performing the test.”
Also at the H2R top list:
Zonik Plus by Zonik / Hohenstein - also one of last years eye catcher in Ermelo
Belinda FRH
Global Player OLD - this year with new rider Leonie Richter
Impressive that Isabell Werth with Valdiviani also were long listed, as the walk is very limited. Maybe usable for Werth Grand Prix, but not really usable for WCYH. And when comments about the trot for Zonik Plus was very passage like, Valdiviani was certainly the same but just mentioned as very collected.
5 year old German horses selected for final round
With today’s German judging team Monica Theodoreacu, Dr Dietrich Plewa and Reinhard Richenhagen the 5 year old horses were selected for the final selection taking place 4th of July.
After each test Mr. Plewa was commentating the ride, and from the comments but also from the performance 🇩🇰Danish Mette Sejbjerg Jensen and About You II were the “winners”.
Mr. Plewa said: “well deserved applause, it was a really well performed test except the rein back, with tension in the contact but still clear for the diagonal rein back rhythm. Impressive trot work totally in balance also on the curved tracks and turns, always with the same cadence, medium trot exact with the correct power, clearly uphill trend nice from behind, elastic without tensions and expressive, the walk through the body, very nice contact and search for the rider hand, nice over track, active and with clear beat, everything with very good quality, the canter in 3-beat, could show bit more collection with a bit more volume and airtime. Rideability score would be affected from the obedience from the horse, very good simple change, a horse with a very nice perspective.”
Rosee de Fointaine with Maria Anita Andersen with a solid well balanced presentation, but overall the frame could be shown a bit more open throughout the entire presentation. Be Sure and Thomas Sigtenbjerggaard with a good overall presentation but throughout the full relaxation was missing.
Also at H2R top list from today and clear pick for the Championships:
Happy Days Di Fonteabeti - active well balance mare with good expression.
San to Alati - super presentation, good expression and well balanced.
Santos - best of the Secret sons, easy supple of the ground movements.
Sir Johny - very nice obedient and with good quality gaits.
There is no room for technical errors as no 88 Mille Grazie a Carree by Millennium / Sandro Hit. A really nice small black power mare, unfortunately with some tensions today and therefore not selected for the final.
Surprisingly St. Athletique by St. Schufro / Hofrat was not at the list with Heiko Klausen like the well moving Titania K by Top Gear / Prestige Pilot with Leonie Richter.

Region 6 med traditionsrig følaften
Stor opbakning fra avlerne
Forsommeren er lig med føl og derfor havde Dansk Varmblod´s region 6 igen i år inviteret avlerne til følaften hos Lena og Ulrik Kristensen i Vinderup.
På den solrige tirsdag aften havde rigtig mange avlere fundet vejen til Vinderup, uden at have nøjagtig tal på de fremmødte lignede det 50-60 personer, som efter at have hilst på hinanden i stalden, drukket en kop kaffe og udvekslet den sidste status på reproduktionssæsonen, var klar til at tage plads på langsiden i ridehuset.
Her var H2R sammen med Dansk Varmblods direktør Casper Cassøe Krüth inviteret til at fortælle om hhv. H2R og hvad rytterne efterspørger H2R ano 2023, mens Casper skulle informere om bl.a. status på Dansk Varmblod.
H2R lagde ud og fortalte lidt om baggrunden for opstarten af H2R for nu 15 år siden, herunder selvfølgelig med fuld fokus på dækning af international avl og sport. H2R begrebet “3 x T” blev introduceret overfor avlerne. Der findes desværre ikke nogen præcis formel på at avle den perfekte ridehest, men “3 x T” bør avleren altid have for øje, nemlig Temperament, Tre gangarter og Typen, i jagten på at avle føl som er salgbare og attraktive for rytterne at uddanne. Samtidig var der også opfordring til avlerne om at benytte sig af alle de online muligheder som er kommet til gennem det seneste årti, alt fra følskuer, kåringer, linære avlsindeks og auktioner.
Casper fortalte om status på DV, herunder den nye avlsledelse, de kommende følauktioner, hoppekåringer og følskuer. Herunder kom Casper bl.a. med et opråb, da man i auktionsudvalget havde set rigtig mange gode og ordentlige føl, men det desværre også havde været mere end en håndfuld, hvor man desværre ikke havde været påpasselige i forhold til at de var efterset og tilrettet i tide på deres hove.
Herefter var der føl fremvisning, som bestod af en samling af Lena og Ulrik Kristensen egne føl samt et par føl fra andre avlere. En rigtig fin samling og er bredt udsnit af hvad 2023 årgangen byder på. Her fik både H2R og Casper mulighed for at komme med umiddelbare kommentarer og indtryk af hver enkelt føl. Under vejs var der også lidt spørgsmål og kommentarer fra avlerne på sidelinien.
Efter følfremvisningen var Holstebro Hestepraksis vært omkring grillen, med pølser, øl, vand, kaffe og kage.
Hatten af for de entusiastiske avlere som år efter år tager imod en ny årgang. Det kræver meget mere end bare at vælge hingst og så vente på resultatet - TAK FOR EN GOD AFTEN i det jyske.
