12 finalister klar til 5 års i Falsterbo - 4 danske ekvipager klar til finalen
4 ud af 5 danske ekvipager direkte videre til torsdagens finale i 5 års klassen i Falsterbo
Indledende i dag mandag, og derefter to pausedage og så med finalen på torsdag.
Noget overraskende var dagens bedømmelser alene gangartsbedømmelse uden bedømmelse af programmet, som det jo har været tidligere år. Det har desværre ikke været muligt at finde propositionerne, da links er taget af Falsterbo hjemmesiden. I skrivende stund er det endnu uklart om tirsdagens 6 års klasse også alene bliver med bedømmelse af gangarter.
I dagens klasse var der tre dommere som hver især gav karakterer - se de individuelle karakterer her.

Bella Rose and Isabell Werth - photo credit: Lily Forado
Step by step
Every single passage step with power of the ground, 100% clear rhythm, and not least it does not come from tension - this is pure dancing in the passage rhythm with top expression. The half passes are super well balanced, lovely suppleness, crossing and uphill. For today’s extensions the body language was much more relaxed compared to yesterday’s Grand Prix. The extended walk starts with some tensions in the body but becomes better for the 2nd half. Into first piaffe, trying to catch the details when Isabell asking for the piaffe, and Bella just starts like putting in a coin - also without tensions and not that Isabell is not able to ask, wauw to watch. Minor tensions creeping in towards second piaffe, but Isabell just keep on and Bella is accepting and doing her job - acknowledged with a clear pat on the neck from Werth. A small start of canter when turning towards the planned transition at the centerline for the canter. For the canter tour the overall picture was with more control and better balance today even though there was an error for both one times, by the 15 one times stopped after just 13 but got the last two, and for the 9 one times at the centerline she lost the final change, right pirouette was clearly the best today where she kept the canter rhythm quite well all the way, and the final centerline 5 x 10.
Both judges at E (Susanne Baarup DEN) and H (J. Lee Foy AUS) saw today’s test at +83% which was the clear level. It was a much better test than yesterday with more control and overview. Result 81,511%

Bella Rose winner of CDI4 Grand Prix with nearly 83%
Most beautiful event Fritzens-Schindlhof in Austria
Isabell Werth can ones again add another huge victory to her CV together with Bella Rose. From the sideline it seems that they always have to be at 80% level - today stepping up with nearly 83% - 82,957%.
Unfortunately there are no access to the detailed scoring today, but for sure a lot of 10´s for piaffe, passage and transitions. It is an expressive, ultra light-footed test, for the extensions some more let go and relaxation were needed, the halt with rein back with some hesitation, the extended walk lack bit more relaxation over the back, bit hectic picture of both two times and one times, like both pirouettes lack bit more clear canter rhythm and sit.
Today’s no 2 Lisa Müller with her Stedinger / De Niro son Stand by Me. Lovely power expression and so much natural suppleness and go for the trot tour including super passage and piaffe tours, good walk tour, for the canter tour some tensions creeping in with an error for the two times, nice zigzag, bit tense one times, first pirouette becomes a bit volte like while the second is better centered. Personal best score with 75,478%.

Danish Warmblood final selection made today for WCYH in Ermelo
World Championships for Young Horses is not just a competition among Worlds best young horses, but also a very prestigious window for each breeding society, riders, breeders and owners to show their horses the absolute best way.
Three clear gaits are mandatory, modern types, harmonious and expressive presentations and not least the rider experience is a major factor entering the arena at WCYH.
Equal terms for all combinations
In Holland they have three selections which gives space for “a legal dropout”, and at the same time the judges have already seen them before the final selection.
In Germany they have two selections, the first with a mandatory training day and advisory, and then the second day where they ride the preliminary test. Final selection day is where they will ride the finale test.
The Danish selection is based on 1st observation where day one is with riding of the preliminary program and day two is with riding the test for the finale. About just two weeks later is the final selection, just one day riding the finale test.
Apparently it is not a must to join both Danish selections when aiming for one of the attractive World Championship spots for Danish Warmblood.
This year 6 year old Straight Horse Ascenzione with Helen Langehanenberg just showed at the 1st observation and were selected for Ermelo today, and 6 year old Lindballes Just Perfect with Ann-Christine Wienkamp just showed today for the final selection and is selected for Ermelo too.
Wonder what the selection produce would be if one of the Danish based horses stayed home either for the first eller final selection?
Product of the breeding
Each horse is a product of the breeding, if it is a gelding, a highly graded mare or a breeding stallion.
For both the Dutch and the German breeding societies it is an even more prestigious window to be able to show their best stallions at the WCYH.
Only Danish Warmblood stallion representative selected for the 3rd time is gold medal stallion Hesselhøj Donkey Boy with Jan Møller Christensen for the 7 year old horses.
The clearly missing combinations
For the final Danish selection the Danish Warmblood selectors chose not to let the 5 year old approved stallion Tørveslettens Sylvester with Severo Jurado Lopez through to Ermelo. A really worthy representative for Danish Warmblood with one of World best riders in the saddle. (Below you will find the video from 1st selection).
Also clearly missing among the 6 year old selected is Atterupgaards Delorean with Selina Solberg Vittinghus. This combination is just a WOW representative for Danish Warmblood. Last years words from German commentator Plewa “look a the body language of the horse, for me it´s a world class horse, top class horse”.

The Dutch Dressage Team wins on Home Turf
News at FEI
Finishing on a total of 17 points, the Dutch team edged out second-place Sweden by just 2 points, after the two nations battled it out for the top podium spot in a weekend of superb Dressage action.
Third place at Geesteren went to Great Britain, who finished on 48 points. Midway through the season’s events, participating countries are hoping to qualify for the FEI Dressage Nations Cup™ Finals at Hickstead in Great Britain, which will be held during the last week of July.
After the first day of competition with the Grand Prix test, the Netherlands were in the lead, thanks to Edward Gal’s individual number-one performance aboard Glock’s Zonik N.O.P. for a total score of 78.304 percent.
Backing up Gal was teammate Emmelie Scholtens and her mount Desperado in fourth place, with Dutch riders Anne Meulendijks and Hans Peter Minderhoud taking sixth and seventh place respectively.
Heading into Sunday’s Grand Prix Freestyle competition, Team Sweden were in first place, having taken over the leaderboard from the Netherlands in the Grand Prix Special. Whilst Scholtens and Minderhoud captured the second and fourth places in that event, the Swedish Ramel sisters, Juliette and Antonia, dominated, taking first and third on scores of 79.915 and 74.660 percent.
Not to be trounced on home turf, the Dutch Dressage team came on strong for the final Freestyle event. Once again topping the leaderboard, Edward Gal turned in a stellar performance that showcased gorgeous extended gaits on Glock’s Zonik for collected marks of 82.250 percent, demonstrating why he is always a crowd favourite.
Swedish rider Therese Nilshagen finished second on 81.495 percent, in a programme that highlighted the powerful impulsion of Dante Weltino OLD, whom Nilshagen calls “the horse of my life.”
The bronze medal in the Freestyle was awarded to Anne Meulendijks who finished on 79.825 percent. Another crowd pleaser, Meulendijks showed off MDH Avanti N.O.P.’s clean pirouettes and supple half passes to help boost her team to the win.

1 - 2 - 3 individual from today - photo credit: Lily Forado
Gal and Zonik winner today, but very close race with Juliette Ramel with Buriel, and a look at the scoreboard judge at B Francis Verbeek-van Rooij (NED) saw Gal 3% ahead of Ramel!

Dante Weltino OLD SWE - super power test without technical issues, active piaffe tours small lack of balance in the piaffes, and one times with some tensions.
British team 3rd
A strong performance from British Van Olst Horses rider Charlotte Fry with Dark Legend secured the Brits the 3rd place in the team ranking after today’s Grand Prix. Fry is showing a strong test with nice forward flow all the way. At the moment Lottie looks like the 4th member of the British team for the Europeans.
Dark Legend GBR - power diagonal, smooth half passes, open halt and bit tense rein back, good transition to passage, active piaffe becomes bit high in the neck, good walk, good 2nd piaffe tour, nice 2 times, well balanced zigzag, good 1 times, super nice control for both pirouettes, smooth transition to trot, super final centerline.
