Destiny OLD winner of Nürnberger Burg-Pokal qualifier but no 2 Soiree d´Amour gets the ticket for the final

A very unusual way to get the ticket for the Nürnberger Burg-Pokal final

With the new combination Destiny OLD and Kristina Bröring-Sprehe at start for yesterday´s "preliminary" Prix Sct. Georg Special it looked like a kind of "easy ticket" for the final. But when a horse previously has been at start for the finals, the horse is not allowed to compete again. So therefore today ticket for the final went to Kira Wulferding with the beautiful mare Soiree d´Amour, eventhough they came 2nd scoring 76,610%.

Today Kristina and Destiny showed even more sharpness than yesterday. Impressive education and work from the former rider and owner Sandra Nuxoll. The new combination has just been together for about 3 month now. Kristina can in many ways show the Desperado son in the same way as the father. "Attacking" successfully from start to final. Destiny is showing great basic qualities in all three gaits, and Kristina is able to get optium benefit from every single exercise today.

Det nye koncept for kvalifikation til championatsfinalerne savner gennemgående dommerteams

Den 2. kvalifikation til championatsfinalerne er netop færdig i Ringsted i dag, og de ekvipager som skal repræsentere Danmark til Skandinavian Open i Falsterbo er nu udpeget.

For 5 års er følgende ekvipager udtaget:

  • D´avie med Severo Jurado Lopez
  • Vamos Amigos med Marianne Helgstrand
  • UNO Don Olympic med Anna Zibrandtsen
  • Atterupgaards Botticelli med Selina Hundstuen Vittinghus

For 6 år er følgende ekvipager udtaget:

  • Heiline´s Danciera med Carina Cassøe Krüth
  • Feodoro med Simone Pearce
  • Jukebox med Michael Søgaard
  • Atterupgaards Kingston med Anita Duus

For 7 års er følgende ekvipager udtaget:

  • Springbank VH med Andreas Helgstrand
  • Thranegaardens Rostov med Lone Bang Larsen
  • Bonnaquiqui med Rune Willum Hansen
  • Kipling med Anne Troensegaard

Savner gennemgående dommerteams

Med blot 6 kvalifikationer fordelt over 3 måneder havde det været optimalt hvis de enkelte dommerteams kunne være gennemgående over hele landet, idet mellemrunderne jo nu er afskaffet.

Hos de 4 års heste var blot en enkelt hest fra Billund over 8,0, mens hele 9 ekvipager var over 8,0 i Ringsted i dag.

Feliciano 7 yr old gelding with something extra - today for Nürnberger Burg-Pokal final qualifier

12 combinations ready for Nürnberger Burg-Pokal final qualifier tomorrow at Gestüt Bonhomme

It was a huge starter field for todays preliminary Prix Sct. Georg Special test for Nürnberger Burg-Pokal final qualifier. 

More new combinations and also more well known combinations are competiting for a spot at the prestigious Nürnberger final.

One of today´s new combinations were Kristina Bröring-Sprehe with her newly purchased Desperados son Destiny OLD. From the scoreboard it looks like that 4 of the judges were a bit too impressed, while the last last judge had the combination as no 10 which was much the right placement also seen from the "side line".

Soiree d´Amour and Kira Wulferding showing lovely qualities, but struggling a bit with the last strength for canter pirouettes and series.

Isabel Freese and Fürst Levantino did not agree 100% from the beginning. Isabel starts with wrong route, and Fürst Levantino just into canter for the first trot at the diagonal. During the test today there are some smaller issues. But knowing Freese she will for sure be sharp for tomorrow´s final qualifier. 

Today´s absolute best horse was the just 7 yr old Feliciano by Floriscount / Lauries Crusador xx with Holga Finken. Lovely expression with power and balance all the way. Some smaller "baby" issues during the test - but watch out this horse just bring something extra for the future from H2R point of view.

Qualifier for the final is tomorrow at 11.00.

Pepe not to compete at the Danish Championships

News at Kasprzakdressage.com yesterday

A preventive removal of two teeth causes Anna to withdraw Pepe from the National Championships.

Pepe is not going to defend his silver medal from last year's national championships at Broholm next month. A routine check earlier this week revealed a broken tooth that had to be removed to avoid infection. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Pepe had two additional bad teeth in his mouth that Anna and the veterinarian agreed to remove as a preventive action.

"We all know what toothache can do to ourselves, thus this was not a difficult decision. We find that it is better to give Pepe some time now without bits in his mouth, despite that it implies that he will miss the Danish Championships, than to leave the teeth in his mouth with the risk that he will get affected later this summer, and miss the chance of being submitted to the Danish team for the European Championships. A strategy that our national chef d'équipe, Kimi Nielsen, and coach, Princess Nathalie, fortunately supports," Anna explains. 

Instead of Pepe, Anna will compete Rocky in the national championship, and she also plans to bring Q for the small tour classes and her 7-year-old mare, Romanova, for the M classes at Broholm.

Stærke tyskere i junior teamkonkurrencen

Danskerne slutter som nr. 4 i team konkurrencen

Dagens skarpeste danske ekvipage var det rutinerede par Camilla Andersen med Rafaella K. Parret ligger skarpt ud og traven flyder godt med god power, og Rafaella står flot let i hånden hele vejen. I juniorprogrammet her er travturen jo meget lang, og det betyder at traven er delt op med skridtturen imellem. Skridt pirouetterne kunne man godt ønske sig med lidt mere tydelig samling. I den sidste frie trav skrådt igennem med overgang til samlet trav springer Rafaella desværre i galop, og her er overgangskarakteren en særskilt øvelse. Hele galopturen er med super flotte, store og gennemsprungne changementer. En lille smule miskommunikation inden vendingen ad midten, og Rafaella ligger også an til at ville lave paraden lidt for tidligt. Parret slutter individuelt som nr. 7 med 71,757%.

Fredagens konkurrencer kan også følges via livestreaming på Clipmyhorse, men det er alene konkurrencerne fra Almased Dressurstadion ligesom i dag der streames.

Resultatet af dagens teamkonkurrence:

Anders Dahl og Sir Donato vinder Grand Prix Special i Bolesworth i dag

Startfeltet talte alene 8 ekvipager i dagens internationale Grand Prix Special

Selvom Anders Dahl og Sir Donato desværre igen i dag havde problemer med serierne - begge etter serierne med fejl, så var parret alligevel overbevisende i resten af turen. Super udtryk, dejlig let form, gode trav / passage ture, super smidige og opad bakke trav traversader. Den frie skridt er en smule ubalanceret hvor man også godt kunne ønske sig lidt mere frihed, hvor den samlede skridt er bedre balanceret. Let og regelmæssig piaffe med gode overgange. God kontrol og balance i pirouetterne, og god finale ad midten. Slutscore 71,333%.

Ulrik Mølgaard og Michigan var klart mere afspændte i dag begge to. De kommer flot fra start, gode trav / passage ture, hvor Ulrik rigtig kan ride til i den frie trav, flot regelmæssig passage, den frie skridt er en smule forholdt, men naturligt nok var Ulrik jo ikke interesseret i at Michigan skulle små trave igen i dag. God lidt hektisk 1. piaffe tur, og starter fint ud i den næste piaffetur, hvorefter Michigan sådan lidt umotiveret bare stopper, og man fornemmer klart at Ulrik lige vender sig om og tænker hvad sker her, men kommer så fint videre. Gode serier. Den første pirouette bliver lidt stor mens galoppen og balancen mistes lidt i den anden. God afslutning ad midten. Parret slutter som nr. 4 med 68,216%.

De danske juniorer flot fra start i Hagen

De 4 startende danske junior ekvipager, Karoline Rohmann med Jakas Don Louvre, Sara Van Deurs Petersen med Katholm´s Ronaldo, Victoria Kuusisto Pedersen med Langkjærgaard´s Donna Fetti og Camilla Andersen med Kgs. Hørgaard Stardust gjorde alle en flot figur i dagens første klasse, som var den individuelle junior konkurrence (men hvor de rider team testen).

Nr. 4 efter tre tyskere

Bedste danske ekvipage blev Karoline Rohmann med Jakas Don Louvre, generelt flot form, god timing og afspændt tur hele vejen. Highlight i galopturen med super flotte og store changementer. Eneste tekniske ting er paraderne - der er helt klart flere point at hente under vejs, ligesom også tilbagetrædningen bliver spændt. Karoline og Don Louvre slutter som nr. 4 individuelt med 71,847%.

Sara Van Deurs Petersen og Katholm´s Ronaldo blev desværre bedømt med pladscifrene 1-10-2 og det betød de måtte "nøjes" med en samlet 5. plads. Super let og ubesværet tur med dejlig balance og flot galop tur. 

Langkjærgaard´s Donna Fetti og Victoria Pedersen er jo ved at være et godt sammentømret par, da Victoria har været i sadlen de sidste 2 år. Ekvipagen viser en skarp og veludført tur. Fra sidelinien er det en dejlig gennemarbejdet og motiveret Donna Fetti, der nu med hendes 16 år og rent faktisk 3. jr/yr i sadlen både er en fantastisk læremester og stadig et skarpt internationalt kort. Ekvipagen kommer til Hagen med en individuel 3. plads og en sejr i küren fra Equitour Aalborg. I dag slutter de individuelt med en placering som nr. 7 med 70,315%.

Camilla Andersen og Kgs. Hørgaard Stardust slutter som nr. 17 efter en lidt forsigtig tur og en enkelt teknisk fejl.

CDI3 Grand Prix victory for Carl Hester and also a big surprise for the demo with Uthopia at Bolesworth International today

Bolesworth International with both CDI3 dressage, national invitational dressage and young horse classes started today with CDI3 Grand Prix.

Nice weather conditions at the huge arena at Bolesworth for today´s dressage.

CDI3 Grand Prix was won by Carl Hester with Barolo. It was a quite spooky Barolo when heading towards K both outside the arena and inside, but Carl managed well an kept him nearly focused all the way, except by the ones towards K where he spookes at the end of the series. As far as they are still new together inside the white fence, it seems that Carl has found the buttons very well. Nice energy and activity for the piaffe tours, smooth supple trot and ground covering quality series. Result 74,240%, not over scored and still room for 2-4% more from H2R point of view. Barolo really looks like a top successor for Nip Tuck if needed for the Europeans.

Danish Anders Dahl brought his two international horses, Olympic horse Selten HW and Sir Donato. He was placed as no 4 and 5 with 70,360% and 69,690%. Nice supple trot tour for Selten, today lacking a bit more power and smoothness for the piaffe tours. One times with a couple of small changes hind. For Sir Donato it was also a smooth expressive light trot tour, unfortunately with expensive errors for both series today.

The other Dane back at competition after his horse Michigan recovered from an injury was Ulrik Mølgaard. Super sharp start beautiful entering halt, power extended trot, good half passes. Some tensions for the piaffe tours today and unfortunately also affecting the walk where Michigan doing some small trot steps. Lovely to see both horse and rider back fit for fight, and as Ulrik told before his ride "I´m just as excited as when I was a kind at Christmas time". 

See the result of the class here. 

Another high quality demo with Carl Hester

Small demo with Carl Hester in the middle and stable rider Rob with a 4 yr old gelding and Charlotte with a 6 yr old mare, and 16 yr old Uthopia as a lovely surprice.

A 4 yr old chestnut gelding by Everdale / Vivaldi was shown by Hester stable rider Rob. Here Carl told about what he was looking for when purchasing a youngster, which qualities were the most important. The gelding was purchased as a 2 yr old on video, and from that video the canter was outstanding Hester told, and still is. Super balance, self carriage and natural uphill tendency with power hindlegs and lightness in the forehand making round expressive frontlegs. And to Carl it´s all about the details being able to have the horse which among others gives the best final picture for the expression and quality of the series and pirouettes. 

The 6 yr old bay mare River Rice Nisa by Negro / Amsterdam, caught H2R attention when watching her and Dujardin for the first time at the British Winter Championships (read H2R news from April here). Also today the mare showed something speciel, eventhough it looked as if she was a bit affected from the atmosphere. A power mare for the big future. 

Uthopia back in the arena for the demo

16 yr old Uthopia came into the arena with Alan Davies walking him, and Charlotte went in the saddle. Carl told about how thankful he is to the lady who bought Uthopia back at the auction wanted him to retire at Carl´s place, and who still wants to remain anonymous. Uthopia is ridden 3 times a week now, and is now also available for the breeders. "He’s done one extended trot in the last eight months, but they only have so many extended trots in them, so we don’t practice them all the time, but he’s come out here and done about five now”, Carl said.

Last class for today was a national invitational Intermediaire I freestyle

Here Charlotte Dujardin rode Hawtins Delicato 9 yr old gelding by Diamond Hit. Lovely supple expression with power, and the huge walk seems to be in the best hands, as this gait now has clearly improved since last time H2R saw him. Small issue in transition from collected walk to canter where Delicato looked as if he just wanted to do some more advanced work (passage), but Charlotte managed to go on and got the transition for canter. They won with 74,750%.

Næste weekend med championatskvalifikationer og udtagelse til Falsterbo i Ringsted Sports Rideklub

Pressemeddelelse:

DRF´s Dressur Championats kvalifikation samt Dressurens Venner Cup i Ringsted Sports Rideklub!

I den kommende weekend 17 + 18 juni 2017 slår Ringsted Sports Rideklub atter dørene op til dressurstævne.

Stævnet i denne weekend er C stævne hvor der udover klasser fra LA og op til Grand Prix også vil blive afholdt DRF´s Dressur Championat kvalifikation for 4 – 5 – 6 og 7 års heste.

Vinderne og nr. 2 for 5 – 6 og 7 års hestene ved dette stævne sikrer sig samtidigt deltagelse til dette års Scandinavian Open - Falsterbo Horse Show i Sverige - http://falsterbohorseshow.se/

Stævnet er arrangeret af Ringsted Sports Rideklub og afvikles som vanligt på Team CABE´s arealer som er beliggende på Ejlstrupvej 120 – 121 -4100 Ringsted - www.rsr4.dk

Ringsted Sports Rideklub og Team CABE har sammen valgt at investere i en ny ridebane. Dette er ikke, en billig affære, hvorfor Ringsted Sports Rideklub er yderst taknemmelig for den økonomiske støtte som er tildelt i denne forbindelse.

Derfor bliver dette stævne samt det kommende landsstævne i august afholdt på Ejlstrupvej 121, da det med tilskud fra Ringsted Kommune og donationer fra Bjarne Jensen Fonden samt Ridebane.dk er blevet muligt at anlægge en ny dressurbane med fiberbund, således at samtlige ”aktive” konkurrencebaner er samlet på samme side af Team CABE´s smukke ridecenter. Det vil sige – at opvarmningsbane – Ridehus(indendørs opvarmning) samt Ridebane.dk Arena (bane 1) og RSR4 Arena (bane2) samt stævnestalde, toiletter, cafeteria og sekretariat er samlet centralt.

Der vil være mulighed for at købe mad og drikke i klubbens cafeteria.

Stævnet starter lørdag d. 17 juni kl. 09.00, og der er naturligvis fri entré for publikum.
