Danish Warmblood shows the way

At the national YH event U.S Dressage Festival for Champions taking place in Chicago, it is not just one or two Danish Warmblood horses in top - the entire podium in yesterday’s 4 year old class were Danish Warmblood horses.

Winner Alice Trajan with her own bred Danish Warmblood mare Gjenganger by Grand Galaxy Win/Blue Hors Don Schufro out of Donna Dee, originally purchased from her long time friend Vicki Nedergaard from Danish stud Nedergaard. Gjenganger was champion in Devon, Pennsylvania last year.

Watch the winning test here.

Placed 2nd Danish Warmblood Flambeau by Fürstenball/Zack with Marcus Orlob, bred by Norwegian Gjeteruds stutteri and sold as a foal to Norwegian JJ horses.

Placed 3rd Glory Day also ridden by Marcus Orlob. Glory Day is by Grand Galaxy Win / Deemster, and bred by JJ Horses in Norway.

The finals takes place Saturday.

Both Flambeau and Glory Day were presented by JJ Horses for Danish Warmblood licensing Commission as 2,5 year old and unfortunately not selected for the licensing.
