New potential future top Danish Warmblood horse for Rose Oatlay
A small story appeared today at Rose Oatley´s Instagram, with 6 yr old Danish Warmblood sliver medal mare Slangerupgaards Saffron by Secret / Scolari when having some relaxted moments in her fairly new home in Germany.
Saffron was on everyone´s lips with Danish Anne Troensegaard in the saddle winning the first qualifier at WCYH in Verden this summer and finishing as no 4 in the final. As it has been planned to sell Saffron after the Championship the list of potential buyers was long. Rose and her family were the first trying Saffron out after the Championship, and the deal was closed very quickly, tells Anne.
Rose Oatley is over the moon having Saffron in the stable and says: “She is just out of the World, and I can´t wait to get to know her better and of course show her in the future.”
Anne Troensegaard has ones again done a great job as Slangerupgaards Saffron was already winner of Danish Young Horse Championship in Herning in March 2024, and later same year also winner of the Danish Young Horse Championship finals. From test rider Daniel Bachmann Andersen in Herning, Saffron was rewarded with 10 for both ride ability and potential.
Danish Warmblood Young Horse Championship record holder
So far Anne holds the record of 2 x 10 for ride ability and potential, obtained now three times in total.
Back in 2011 Anne rode Quite Nice by Quite Easy / Come Back II where Jan Brink was test rider and gave 10 for ride ability and potential, and then again in 2018 with Patrik Kittel as test rider where Anne showed the silver medal mare Delizia by Fürstenball / De Noir rewarded with 2 x 10 again for ride ability and potential.
