Bonita Springs and Kira Wulferding with superb performance and ticket for Nürnberger Burg-Pokal final

Strong field for this leg of Nürnberger Burg-Pokal qualifier

High quality of performances for the qualifier at Gestüt Bon Homme this weekend, and Kira Wulferding showed both from the “preliminary” St. Georg Special with the victory scoring 76,610% and today’s final qualifier with impressive 78,025% that she is definitely ready for the final with the just 7 year old Bonita Springs by Boston / Fidertanz. (wonder why she was not among the German Young Horses for Ermelo?)

All other placed combinations today were at 72% level.

Vitalis offsprings makes very good impressions

A total of 5 Vitalis offsprings for today’s final qualifier - all showing super rideability with three good gaits, good contact and good balance, among them German top rider Fabienne Müller-Lutkemeier with two Vitalis offsprings.

Revolution and Andreas Helgstrand.

Just 9 combinations appointed by the 6 year old horses in a total field of 25 starters

Two of the combinations will not make it for WCYH, and from H2R point of view Ben Vito with Stefanie Wittmann and High Heels with Patricia von Merveldt looks like the combinations needed a bit more time to be ready.

Helgstrand and Revolution showed an outstanding performance even with the halts and the rein back in a class of its own.

1st observation with selection for the German Young Horses in Warendorf today

This is not a stallion competition even though there are many highly frequented stallions among the participants, and also with many international top riders. Today’s comments immediately after each test was made by German national team coach Monica Theodorescu.

Among the 7 year old 14 combinations were selected, and the 14 combinations must be reduced to just 7 combinations. (NED 6, DEN 4, SWE 4). The final selection is 2nd July in Warendorf.

From today’s presentations and subsequent comments from German national team coach Monica Theodorescu, H2R dare to make THE list with the 7 combinations for WCYH today.

• Bondeman / Betina Jæger Jensen - today’s most harmonious and effortless test, pure words of praise from Theodorescu.

• D´avie / Severo Jurado Lopez - bit tension from start with the trot tour, beautiful frame, power and qualities in all three gaits including the demanding canter tour with both half pirouettes and series.

• DSP Dominy / Therese Nilshagen - effortless and correct with three correct basis gaits showing nice elasticity and suppleness.

• Fürst Donnerhall / Claudia Rassmann - beautiful picture, nice light uphill frame with good elasticity from behind.

• Matchball OLD / Stefanie Wolf - well balanced, well trained and well presented.

• Sisters Act OLD / Dorothee Schneider - very correct with good qualities.

• Top Gear or Total Hope both with Isabel Freese for the final spot.

Missing from the list is Voile Rouge by Vitalis ridden by Isabel Freese, super expressive mare with power and three really good gaits, just a bit unbalanced for a few moments today, but showing huge potential.

Most expensive colt by Fürstenball/Glock´s Romanov sold at OLD Elite auction for 36.000 euros

Farrington by Fürstenball - Glock´s Romanov - sold to Dr. Kerstin Klieber and Ernst Kemper

Strong 2019 collection secured

Once again Dr. Kerstin Klieber from Dressurstall Sandbrink purchased a top foal. At the presentation the colt by Fürstenball / Glock´s Romanov showed himself with outstanding qualities, and Klieber secured herself the top colt in partnership with Ernst Kemper.

Klieber and Kemper has earlier successfully been partners with the stallions Fify-Fifty OLD and Fiderdance, and for this year Klieber is very satisfied that she already secured herself a very strong collection from this years foals.

VIDEO - 15th national championship title for Isabell Werth today

This is how to win 15 national championship titles

Isabell Werth and Emilio showed their new freestyle today for the championship. An error free test with high degree of difficulty in very nice harmony all the way - a true champion.

VIDEOS - Individual podium for the Europeans of today

The European Championships in Rotterdam is just two month away, and why not make a small “today” prediction of the individual podium, as the absolute best three combinations just been out showing very strong performances.

Grand Prix Special at German Championship

Dorothee Schneider showed a top test yesterday with just an issue at the transition from passage to canter, where Showtime catch the wrong canter. For Werth and Bella Rose the GPS was not their day. Like for the Grand Prix Werth enters in counter canter with Bella Rose, but the centerline becomes a bit unbalanced, super trot tour with expressive half passes, good piaffe tours with super passage. Also for Werth and Bella Rose the transition to canter from passage became with transition to wrong canter, and at the short side before going into canter half passes Bella Rose loosing the canter, and when Werth continues at the diagonal starting the two times instead of canter half passes, she knew this was it for today and could of course only blame herself, and came 4th in the ranking. Gold in GPS for Showtime, Silver for Werth with Emilio and Bronze for Dalera BB.

Can anyone beat Werth with Bella Rose at a Championship?

At WEG Dujardin and Freestyle won a bronze medal - will they be able to climb the latter?

Showtime FRH back in business and ready for the podium?

Judge for yourself, but “today's “ podium from H2R is:

🥇Dujardin

🥈Schneider

🥉Werth

Bolesworth - Charlotte Dujardin with Mount St. John Freestyle

Carina Nevermann Torup og Soda Pop sørgede for Dannebrog til tops i Stockholm igen i dag

Carina Nevermann Torup og Soda Pop

Løbende H2R kommentarer:

Carina Nevermann Torup og Soda Pop med flot trav tur, god skridt tur, i galoppen indløber der nogle spændinger i pirouetterne og koreografien bliver lidt urytmisk at følge i galopturen. Gode serier. Parret fører lige nu før de sidste to ekvipager.

Michael Søgaard og Slæbækgårds Santino leverede en stærk kür, eneste lille tekniske fejl er et "tag selv" changement efter den første øgning. Godt udtryk i trav turen i god balance, gode serier på buet spor, pirouetterne kunne godt være vist med lidt mere samling.

Lisbet Seierskilde og Jonstrupgårdens Cocio viste en god Inter I kür med kun et par enkelte tekniske udfordringer. Det var tydeligt at det enorme stadion i Stockholm gav lidt ekstra spændinger under vejs i dag. (7 - 69,600%).

Bella Rose or Showtime FRH?

The difference from the judges for today’s Grand Prix at national German championship between Bella Rose and Showtime FRH was as tiny as 0,680%.

From H2R point of view the tiny advance was for Showtime today.

But what a competition when Germany “invites” for championship, the overall level tells it all with +74% at top 10!

VIDEO - Dujardin and Hester dominates Bolesworth International

Charlotte Dujardin and MSJ Freestyle - photo credit: Lily Forado

Yesterday with nice Prix Sct. Georg victory for Carl Hester with the 9 year old Brioso, showing a smooth test with highlights of both superb controlled canter pirouettes and smooth series. Score 74,618% - 4% ahead of no 2.

Danish Ulrik Mølgaard and Salo showed at good test, but unfortunately Salo had some moments of “big eyes” during their test. (67,912% - 8th).

Today Hester and Brioso also took the Inter I freestyle victory with 78,520%.

See the entire results here.

80,348% for Charlotte Dujardin and MSJ Freestyle for today’s CDI3 Grand Prix

MSJ Freestyle was top sharp today together with Dujardin. Superb expression all the way, suppleness in the body and lovely contact. Only minor issue was after the transition to passage where Freestyle takes a single jump in canter when turning at K towards the first piaffe. Super nice sit in the piaffe tours and passage just from the book with equal activity and angles all the way, super series, the canter pirouettes are small but could show a bit more clear canter.

Hawtins Delicato and Carl Hester showed a super test today with just a few tiny issues. Smooth trot tour with supple half passes, superb halt with rein back, small tension into 1st piaffe, 2nd piaffe in lovely balance with easy transitions, zigzag canter lacking a bit more balance at the beginning, super nice series and good pirouettes, late transition to trot at M. 75,604% (4th).

Danish Ulrik Mølgaard and Danish Warmblood gelding Michigan came 11th with 67,587%.

Blue Hors Zack with Daniel Bachmann Andersen - photo credit: Mia Bach

Well deserved new Danish Champion 2019

🥇

After the Grand Prix Daniel took the lead with his two stallions Blue Hors Zack and Blue Hors Don Olymbrio, and for today’s freestyle Daniel has chosen Zack as his partner. They delivered a very strong test, with just an issue for the jokerline with error by the two times, superb half passes, nice passage and outstanding one times (Isabell Werth might have had full house for such a line of one times. Daniel scored 9-8-9-9-9) - judge for yourself from the video below.

🥈

Bohemian / Cathrine Dufour - Bohemian rhapsody theme, super halt, electric passage and super piaffe, super half passes in both trot and passage, good walk tour, double pirouette with small lack of balance at the end, good 2 times, small issue transition between canter half passes, superb 2nd double pirouette, full power piaffe pirouette, tense when the audience start applauding for the final meters.

This horse is just 9 year old and doing his first national championship.

🥉

Jojo AZ / Agnete Kirk Thinggaard - error begin of 2 times, lack more clear canter for pirouette, good 1 times into pirouette, lack energy for pirouette, error end of 1 times, nice piaffe / passage, half pass trot right lack more clear balance and go, left better, good extension, super nice final. (bit ahead of music)

Individual top placements

Individual no 4 today was Lone Bang Larsen with Bakkely´s Onandt. Super strong performance with high degree of difficulty and power all the way, and today without any technical errors.

Bakkely´s Onandt / Lone Bang Larsen - good start, full piaffe turn lack bit balance at the end, strong extended trot tours, very regular passage, good walk tour, super 2 times on curved track, 1 times successful on curved track, lost balance bit out of double pirouette, nice sit for final pirouette into piaffe, nice piaffe fan at centerline.

Individual no 5 today and overall no 4 Anders Dahl and his young Fidelio. Lots of power for the first day in the Grand Prix. For the Grand Prix Special Fidelio looked a bit tired, and today the showed a solid test with good qualities.

Catch up on small comments about each combination from the championship at H2R Facebook.

Exciting which combinations the national coach will appoint for CHIO Aachen.

Super strong performance from Cathrine Dufour and Bohemian brought them back into the top of the field

Dufour fighting back for the podium

Yesterday with Grand Prix Special where Cathrine Dufour and Bohemian showed a very strong performance. The big difference from the Grand Prix to the Grand Prix Special was the frame of Bohemian. During the Grand Prix he became very often behind the vertical and not really in front of Cathrine. This issue was just disappeared with the wind, as the Grand Prix Special form and total test was at an outstanding level. Lots of highlights, half passes with expression and super balance, super series, piaffe at the spot with super transitions and sharp regular supple passage tours and not least two top class pirouettes.

Daniel showing strong performances with both Zack and Don O. Together with Zack they were dancing through the days most heavy shower with just an issue for the 15 one times, and Zack will be Daniel´s partner for tomorrow’s freestyle as he is the most experienced for the freestyle. With Don O Daniel showed lots of power for trot / passage tour, some miscommunication into the first piaffe where Don O does not respond to the riders aides and lack activity for piaffe itself, super walk tour, super canter tour well managed, final long side with extension with small lack of beat.

Agnete and Jojo were missing the power from the Grand Prix for the Special, but still showing a solid performance and will for sure fight for their spot at the podium tomorrow.

Overall results in top of the competition from Grand Prix and Grand Prix Special:
