Impressions from Helgstrand Dressage stallion show today

26 stallions were ready for the annual stallion show at Helgstrand Dressage, Denmark

H2R highlights were:

First stallion in the arena was the 3 year old Senegal de Fontaine by Springbank II VH/Sezuan (out of Grand Prix mare Queenparks Wendy). We already seen his full brother for Danish Warmblood licensing, but this boy definitely looks even more attractive both from type and movements.

The lovely well moving grey stallion Proud James by Jameson RS2 / Johnson did not disappoint. Natural power, uphill and well balanced in all 3 gaits.

Straight Horse Leonardo by Lord Europe / De Niro (out of Danish Warmblood gold medal mare De Milla) shows his qualities once again, maybe not as fresh as we recently saw him for Danish Warmblood stallion licensing but still the best of the 3 year old stallions from Helgstrand collection this year.

Lord Europe by Lord Leatherdale / Boston is now 7 year old, and it look as if he stamps his offsprings with expression, suppleness and super canter, even though he does not show the most attractive hindlegs for the trot work himself.

4 year old KWPN stallion Opoque by All at Once / Davino V.O.D. has always been super attractive, and he has developed super nicely under his daily rider Mette Sejbjerg Jensen.

5 year old About You II by AC/DC / Escobar (the dam has produced two licensed stallions) - lots of power of the ground with super tact and push and super angle from behind. Trot and walk the absolut highlights for today, but usually he also brings a very powerful canter.
