No World Equestrian Games in Tryon for Atterupgaards Cassidy and Cathrine Dufour (UK version below)

WEG bliver desværre ikke i denne omgang for Cassidy og jeg. 

Cassidy har lavet en mindre skade på sig selv på folden, hvilket gør at vi får et træningsstop, her meget tæt på afgang til World Equestrian Games. Han har været i sit livs form denne sæson, så det er selvfølgelig utroligt ærgerligt, og jeg er naturligvis skuffet over at, WEG bliver uden vores deltagelse. Men vi vil gøre alt for at passe på Cassidy, og derfor er det naturligvis hans velbefindende der står absolut øverst på listen. 

Jeg ønsker mine holdkammerater og rytterkollegaer al held og lykke til WEG, og håber at alle får et fantastisk stævne. I denne omgang følger vi med hjemmefra, og hepper med alt hvad vi har på vores danske landshold. 

Vi kommer stærkt tilbage! 

WEG will unfurtunately be without Cassidy and I. 

Cassidy has made minor injury at the field, which means that we currently can’t work him. It’s of course very disappointing as he’s been better than ever during this season. We will do everything we can to take care of Cassidy in the best way possible, and therefor we won’t push him to do anything he’s not ready to. I’m sad that we won’t be a part of the danish team, but we wish our colleagues all the best for WEG 2018. 

We will be back!

44 high quality Danish Warmblood dressage foals for the Elite auction 25 August

A very strong collection for the Elite Foal Auction at Danish Warmblood 25 August

Foals from some of Denmarks most successful breeders with the best dam lines. Among the sires represented with most foals is Franklin in top of the list with 7 foals selected, while Valverde is represented with 6 foals, and the collection also counts foals from top stallions like Blue Hors Don Olymbrio, Blue Hors Fifty Cent, Blue Hors Hotline, Blue Hors Zackerey, Bøgegaardens Santiago, D'Avie, Florenz, Floriscount, Foundation, Franziskus, Freischütz, Hesselhøj Donkey Boy, Quantensprung, Quaterhit, Revolution, Romeo, Sandro Hit, Scolari, Sir Donnerhall I and Valløs Dreaming Marong.

H2R present the first three FOCUS foals from this years collection:  

Long legged, uphill colt with outstanding gaits, and his expression just says "here I am". The dam is graded by the main studbook, and has passed the mare performance test. The sire Romeo is one of a very few stallions representing the very attractive Rubinstein bloodlines both with valuable abilities for movements and not least high coveted ride abilities. Dam sire De Noir has throughout the years proved his value as dam sire, where Danish Warmblood currently has shown the beautiful mare Delizia by Fürstenball and with De Noir as dam sire, which were representing Danish Warmblood at World Championship for Young Horses in Ermelo under Anne Troensegaard. Further in the dam line we find Michellino who is the answer of both power and ability for the most demanding dressage exercises. This colt looks like the super combination of breeding and sport. 

The dam of this impressive colt is the silver medal mare Chakira Skovvang. She is also the dam of Wilson Skovvang, as was selected for the licensing in Herning, like the silver medal mare China Skovvang placed in top of the dressage breeding ranking. The sire of the colt is D´avie which recently became World Champion for Young Horses with Spanish top rider Severo Jurado Lopez in the saddle. The colt shows an appealing type and very correct, with nice supple top line in all three gaits and with superb canter. Looks like a copy of his sire and the combination with one of the strongest dam lines in Danish Warmblood makes him special in this collection. 

Extraordinary, long legged, nobel, very modern type and elegant dressage colt. Dam line are all graded mares. The colt show super trot and canter with lovely freedom and power, and good walk. A very strong dressage breeding for the colt with Franklin, Sandro Hit and Weltmeyer, where both Sandro Hit and Weltmeyer has been leading breeding stallions first as sires and now further out in the breeding lines.  

Så tæt på og alligevel ikke en team medalje til de 4 unge U25 damer til EM i dag

0,089% var forskellen på den utaknemmelige 4. plads og en bronzemedalje 

De fire danske ekvipager var klar til dagens team konkurrence og Michala Mejlgaard Jensen og Trebiz lagde ud for danskerne.

Landstræner Nathalie zu Sayn-Wittgenstein fortæller om dagens dansker ridt: 

"Michala og Trebiz red en veldisponeret tur og generelt havde Michala Trebiz bedre i formen end hun havde i Aachen."

"Sille og Darius havde en fin tur, men desværre lagde Sille den første pirouette ved forkert bogstav og overgangen fra galop til trav var ikke helt flydende."

"Nanna og Sådan Que red en flot og velovervejet trav tur med gode piaffe og passage ture, mangler lidt den sidste afspændthed i skridten og desværre indløber der en fejl i toerne."

"Victoria og Ludwig red en flot tur uden tekniske fejl".

"Desværre var marginalerne ikke på vores side i dag, men pigerne kæmpede flot", fortæller Nathalie fra Exloo i Holland. 

Individuelt var det britiske Charlotte Fry fra Van Olst Horses med Dark Legend som red bedste Intermediaire II i dag, skarp forfulgt af tyskerne Jil-Marielle Becks med Damon´s Satelite og Lisa Maria Klössinger med FBW Daktari. 

I morgen gælder det den individuelle konkurrence. Se startlisten her.

Daniel told after today's rides "I'm very satisfied with both stallions today. I was able to show both stallions very nicely, and as the both still are young at their levels, I'm very pleased with their developments. It is a very nice event with very nice atmosphere and good conditions for both horses and riders."

Blue Hors Don Olymbrio og Daniel Bachmann Andersen var til start internationalt for første gang siden Hagen, og efter dagens tur fortæller Daniel:

"Don O var fin på banen, desværre med lidt småfejl under vejs. Det kræver stadig lidt mere rutine at komme hele turen rundt uden småtingene, men det er bl.a. også for at samle mere rutine at vi er til start her," siger Daniel.  

Landstræner Nathalie zu Sayn-Wittgenstein og M&M´s slutter som 1. uplaceret i feltet med 69,326%.

The next generation of superstars emerge at Ermelo

FEI press release

Screen Shot 2018-08-06 at 15.49.15.png

The Longines FEI/WBFSH World Breeding Dressage Championships for Young Horses 2018 certainly didn’t disappoint as 22,000 visitors from all across the globe enjoyed five days of spectacular sport. This was the third time for the event to take place in Ermelo (NED), and a total of 180 horses from 19 studbooks lined out in the three age categories. The Westphalian stallion, Revolution, claimed the Five-Year-Old title, the Hannoverian, d’Avie, topped the Six-Year-Olds and the KWPN, Glamourdale, clinched pole position in the Seven-Year-Old division. And as the Chairman of the Organising Committee, Aat Both, pointed out, “the overall quality was formidable!”

Five-Year-Olds

Winner of the first qualifying competition, Revolution (Rocky Lee x Rouletto) earned a massive 9.62 points and posted two perfect-10 scores in yesterday’s Final. Ground Jury member Maria Colliander described him as “a rockstar, a powerhouse” after he pinned the Hannoverian stallion, Destacado (Desperados x Londonderry) ridden by Germany’s Matthias Alexander Rath, into runner-up spot and and the Oldenburg mare, Candy OLD (Sir Donnerhall x Furst Heinrich) with Rath’s compatriot Eva Moller on board into third. 

Revolution’s Danish rider, Andreas Helgstrand (41), was very proud of his rising star.

Seven-Year-Olds

The medals for the oldest category of horses were next to be decided, and the four that were heading the leaderboard going into this morning’s finale remained at the top, but not in the same order. Glamourdale (Lord Leatherdale x Negro) was in third as the day began and the powerful black stallion proved to be the show-stealer, also picking up a 10 for his fantastic canter. 

Posting a mark of 87.050 for British rider Charlotte Fry (22) he was almost three percentage points clear of the KWPN stallion Governor-Str and Dutch rider Adelinde Cornelissen who were taking their second silver medal in 12 months, while Norway’s isabel Freese steered the Hannoverian, Fuersten-Look (Furstenball x Londonderry), into bronze. The latter were the leading pair as the day began, but a mistake in the last line of their test cost them dearly.

Screen Shot 2018-08-06 at 15.59.21.png

Six-Year-Olds

Last but not least to take their places on the podium were the six-year-old contingent and it was a special moment for Spanish rider Severo Jurado Lopez when he collected his fourth gold medal and his third in succession at Ermelo. That meant he also claimed his third Longines watch today. 

His Hannoverian chestnut d’Avie (Don Juan de Hus x Londonderry) collected 9.26 points to finish just ahead of Germany’s Laura Strobel with the Rheinlander Villeneuve (Vitalis x Dancier), while bronze went to Dutch rider Dinja van Liere with the KWPN Hermes (Easy Game x Flemmingh) who scored 8.78. “D’Avie is a superb horse with a bright future ahead!” said judge Isobel Wessels.

Another super win for Severo in 6 year old finals at World Championships for Young Horses

Even though is was not a fully polished test today, with two small issues for the flying changes, it was a convincing performance with a motivated and very well trained horse - a worthy World Champion, and the 2nd stallion from Helgstrand Dressage this year with a gold medal. 

And this was the 5th World Champion medal for Severo, and his 4th of gold! (bronze medal last year with Quel Filou and 3 x 🥇with Danish Warmblood mare Fiontini). 

H2R comments during the test: 

What a lovely picture for the trot tour, superb half pass left, super balance shoulder in, bend in the body half pass right, good transition to walk, maximum outcome extended walk, superb collected walk, superb pirouettes, small tension transition to canter, bit small 1st change, 2nd more relaxed with super nice quality, error front 3rd change, coming superb back for medium canter, 4th change super, lack bit more flow for transition to trot, super diagonal.

 

From H2R point of view Villeneuve came much too close to d´Avie, as Villeneuve clearly was lacking more power and expression today. 

3rd position and bronze medal with a convincing start of the class. Well presented and with good quality all the way. 

Placed 5th Danish Warmblood stallion Hesselhøj Donkey Boy

H2R comments during the test: 

Small tension for entering halt, super medium trot, good shoulder in, turn and good half passes, superb active walk, small issue transition to canter, bit high tempo for the canter tour, superb changes, super extended trot.

7 year old final

A pleasure to watch the new World Champion from entering halt to final halt. So much control and still let go, in an easy and obedient way. Super frame and expression. Even though the walk is not a highlight Charlotte gets top outcome, and when said that it is a very useable walk especially when thinking towards Grand Prix. 

H2R comment during the test: 

Super expression for the trot tour, nice stretching, lot of balance, easy going very into to aides, smooth all the way, super transitions, bit short walk but clear rhythm, good collected walk and nice pirouettes, WOW diagonal canter, sit and activity for pirouette, super changes, super series. WHAT a super horse and rider.

Interview with the new World Champion for 7 year old horses, 22 year old British Charlotte Fry:

Winning test: 

2nd position - Governor Str / Adelinde Cornelissen

H2R comments during the test: 

Very smooth balanced trot work, very nice steady contact in an uphill frame all the time, super nice walk tour with nice walk pirouettes with good balance and clear beat, nice balance/control/sit for pirouettes, super flow series. Super test!

3rd position - Fürsten-Look / Isabel Freese

H2R comments during the test: 

Bit open halt, super 1st diagonal, smooth turns, half passes, lovely stretching, small unbalance 2nd half pass, super extended walk, bit big collected walk, super beat, small unbalance out of 2nd walk pirouette, lovely half passes, what a sit for pirouette and the expression for the pirouette in itself, super 4 times, error 3 times. Super test.

4th best today and best 7 year old mare in the World

It is a superb result, but for Danish Carina Cassøe Krüth this is now her final position with the outstanding Danish Warmblood mare Heiline´s Danciera for the 2nd year, as she also came 4th as a 5 year old, and last year also 4th with her 2nd horse Red Diamant.
