17 Dressage Stallions Fully Licensed
Later in the day, 17 dressage stallions aged four years and older received their final approval. The stallions were presented under saddle in KRAFFT Arena M, after which the breeding committee provided their evaluations.
The traditional Aage Ravn Trophy, awarded to the best Danish-bred stallion after passing the performance test, went to Invictus Iwe by Iron/Quaterback, bred by Iben W. Deleuran of Iwe Horses. The stallion was sold as a foal to Helgstrand Dressage.
Unfortunately, Invictus Iwe had stepped on himself prior to the presentation and was therefore spared from being ridden during the licensing. Nevertheless, the stallion was highlighted for his modern sport type, expressive trot, and a well-balanced canter with great carrying power. He also received a Breeder’s Medal in Silver.
The Champion Stallion of the dressage group was the performance test winner Daan G. by Hesselhøj Donkey Boss/Blue Hors Don Olymbrio, bred by Helene Geervliet and owned by Helgstrand Dressage and Paul Schockemöhle. The stallion won his 35-day test with 912 points and was described by the judges as very charming, well-uphill and of outstanding type.
Results: Dressage group II and Dressage group III
