Since 2007 Louisdor Preis was established as a pilot project for 8 - 10 year old Grand Prix horses on their way to the international scene. A really great competition which has brought a lot of top horses for the top sport over the years.
Today’s Intermediare II was won by Senta Kirchhoff with 9 year old Danish bred gelding L`Arbuste by Skovens Rafael / Zardin Firfod, bred by Morten Plenborg. The combination was as 7 year old placed as no 6 at the final at WCYH in Ermelo, and since then they’ve been successful at small tour level. They look like Sunday´s winner as they showed a very harmonious test today without any technical issues.
Placed 3rd today was the stallion For Romance OLD with Swedish Therese Nilshagen (video of the test below). From H2R point of view For Romance OLD and the stallion Franziskus are showing many similarities at this level.
12 combinations qualified for Sunday´s final qualifier
