Outstanding 4-year-olds

The audience and the judges were presented with a strong collection of 4-year-old stallions; 9 show jumpers and 13 dressage stallions. Among the stallions are most of the premium colts from last year’s licensing as well as the two 35-day-test winners.

The dressage stallions will be shown in lunge lines Friday morning and shown free in the arena in the afternoon.

Jeg glæder mig til clinic i Herning

Pressemeddelelse fra DV

Den storsmilende svenske landsholdsrytter, Patrik Kittel, glæder sig vildt til at opleve hingstekåringen i Herning, hvor hans første opgave er at afholde dressurclinic torsdag aften

42-årige Patrik Kittel fører lige nu World Cup-stillingen, og samtidig er han netop rykket op på verdensranglisten som nr. 9 med hoppen Deja og og nr. 10 med vallakken Delaunay OLD. Han driver sammen med sin hustru, den australske landsholdsrytter Lyndal Oatley, en uddannelses- og salgsstald i Tyskland.

Patrik Kittels CV tæller et utal af internationale Grand Prix-starter og sejre på ca. 50 forskellige heste, deltagelse ved EM, VM og OL som en fast del af det svenske landshold gennem mange år. I 2011 vandt han individuel bronzemedalje i kür ved EM i Rotterdam med hingsten Scandic. Gennem tiden har Kittel nu haft omkring 25 elever, som har redet Grand Prix.

Ved Dansk Varmblods Hingstekåring i MCH Messecenter Herning har Patrik Kittel flere jobs. Han skal torsdag aften afholde en spændende dressurclinic under overskriften ”Alle kan lære at ride Grand Prix”. Fredag eftermiddag og lørdag middag skal han ride den tredobbelte verdensmester Sezuan i hingstepræsen-tationsklassen, og lørdag aften og søndag morgen er han testrytter i Blue Hors Unghestechampionatet, hvor han skal teste de 24 bedste 5-årige DV-dressurheste.

I dialog med publikum

Dansk Varmblods tradition for at invitere til et specialarrangement torsdag aften med uddannelse af heste i fokus har tidligere budt på store navne som bl.a. Hasse Hoffmann, Kyra Kyrklund, Isabell Werth, Andreas Helgstrand, Rolf-Göran Bengtsson, Helen Langehanenberg og Bo Kristoffersen. I år er det Patrik Kittel, som vil tage fat på uddannelse af dressurheste. Patrik er kendt for at have sine meningers mod i forhold til dressurtræning, og han vil engagere publikum i arrangementet.

Patrik Kittels rytter Malin Nilsson, der har været ansat hos ham i otte år, skal ride i første del af denne clinic, hvor det gennemgående tema omhandler, hvordan man udvikler en super unghest til en forhåbentlig super Grand Prix-hest. Hun medbringer den 6-årige Honnaisseur SJ efter Connaisseur/Jazz, som hun for nylig har vundet M-klasse på med 8,8 point.

– Publikum vil få mulighed for at stille spørgsmål, så det bliver mere som et seminar og tovejskommunikation med publikum. For mig er det vigtigt at understrege, at alle kan blive succesfulde dressurryttere, og at ingen er fejlfrie. Det er en del af sporten, og man lærer af sine fejl og udvikler sig, fortæller Patrik.

Som afslutning på første del vil publikum kunne stille spørgsmål til Patrik, der lægger stor vægt på at kommunikere med sit publikum og derfor starter op med en opfølgning på debatten i første halvdel, inden den lærerige clinic fortsætter med anden halvdel, hvor hovedpersonen selv sidder i sadlen. I anden afdeling vil Kittel ride hoppen Well Done de la Roche, som er en 10-årig hoppe efter Fürstentraum/Walt Disney. Ekvipagen debuterede sidste år i maj måned internationalt i Grand Prix.

DV pressemeddelelse:

Danmarks internationale dressurstjerneekvipage, Cathrine Dufour og Atterupgaards Cassidy, gæster på lørdag Dansk Varmblods Hingstekåring under gallashowet i Boxen i Herning

26-årige Cathrine Dufour og den 15-årige DV-vallak Atterupgaards Cassidy e. Caprimond/Donnerhall (opdr. Atterupgaard) har en helt særlig historie sammen.

To gange har de vundet dobbelt individuelt guld ved EM for ungryttere, inden de tog springet til sportens højeste niveau, Grand Prix. Også her har de udviklet sig til en af verdens bedste dressurekvipager og vandt ved EM 2017 to individuelle bronzemedaljer og dansk holdsølv, ligesom ekvipagen i indeværende World Cup-sæson har vundet de to kvalifikationer, som de har været til start ved.

Cathrine Dufour har nu avanceret til en tredjeplads på FEI’s verdensrangliste, men desværre har hun og Cassidy ikke opnået wildcard til at deltage ved World Cup-finalen i Paris.

Dansk Varmblod synes ikke, at ekvipagen skal snydes for et stort og feststemt publikum, og hvad bedre kan man tilbyde de tusindvis af tilskuere ved gallashowet i Boxen i Herning end den danske ekvipage, der reelt kan vinde en medalje ved VM 2018?

Derfor er Cathrine og Cassidy inviteret til Dansk Varmblods Hingstekårings Gallashow lørdag aften, hvor Dansk Varmblod ønsker at hylde ekvipagen for deres fremragende resultater. 

– Den oplevelse, som publikum gav mig ved World Cup-kvalifikationen i Herning, var helt fantastisk. Derfor  kommer vi selvfølgelig gerne tilbage foran det danske publikum og giver lidt tilbage til alle dem, der har støttet os på vores vej. Cassidy elskede atmosfæren i Boxen i Herning, så jeg håber, at vi kan genopleve den storslåede stemning, fortæller Cathrine Dufour, der glæder sig til at lade sin DV-hest hylde. 

No battle between Werth, Graves and Dufour for the World Cup final

Skærmbillede 2018-03-05 kl. 13.08.50.png

The Danish federation were aiming for a wild card for Cathrine Dufour with Atterupgaards Cassidy for the World Cup final, as they won the 1st leg at Herning last October and then lately they also won the leg at Gothenburg.

Unfortunately the answer from FEI was negative, as the results from Cathrine are not into the rules for allocation of a wild card.

Nanna Merrald og Sådan Que vinder af U25 Grand Prix kür i dag i Lier

qb.jpeg

Flot start på jobbet hos Blue Hors for Nanna Merrald

Selvom Nanna endnu ikke er flyttet fysisk til Blue Hors, så var det hendes første internationale stævne med Blue Hors på underlaget, en debut som må siges at være mere end godkendt. Med på sidelinien i Lier havde Nanna også sin mangeårige træner Michael Søgaard.

I dagens U25 Grand Prix kür var Nanna Merrald klassens sidste startende, og hun leverede sammen med den 10-årige hoppe Sådan Que e. Quaterback/ Royal-Diamond en tur med flot overblik og overskud hele vejen. Masser af positiv power og kvalitet hele vejen. Hendes koreografi er lavet med god sværhedsgrad, hvor hun bl.a. laver piaffe vending som lykkedes rigtig flot, eneste lille fejl er da hun er på til afslutningen ad midten og laver fri trav, hvor Sådan Que mister et trin og desværre springer i galop. 

En ekvipage som er et super spændende dansk kort til U25 EM til sommer. 

Nana Gajhede og Overgaards Lawal slutter som nr. 6, mens Maja Petersen og Højgaardens Dexter slutter som nr. 9 i dagens klasse. 

Se resultatet af klassen her. 

Stærke danske præstationer i går i Intermediaire I og Intermediaire kür i Lier

Intermediare I

Lørdagen startede i Lier med Intermediaire I og her var Charlotte Heering og hende 12-årige Black Pearl klar til start igen. 

Parret leverede en god tur uden tekniske fejl. Travturen er aktiv og med godt udtryk og god balance i versader, volte og traversader og power i øgningerne. God skridt tur, men hvor man godt kunne ønske sig lidt mere afspændthed i den frie skridt. God galop tur med gode serier, hvor toerne bliver lidt spændte, rigtig god første pirouette med flot balance, mens den anden bliver lidt stor og ubalanceret. Parret slutter som nr. 4 med 67,647%.

Intermediaire I kür

Her var Nanna og Quater Boy klar til start igen. Super dejligt flow i hele turen med god sikkerhed og udtryk i både trav og galopturen. Desværre kniber det lidt med den sidste afspændthed i skridten hvor Quater Boy ikke rigtig falder til. En galoptur med fantastisk serier som også bliver belønnet med 8 over hele linien undtagen en enkelt dommer som kun giver 7,5 for toerne. Iøvrigt var serierne klart et 9 tal værd. Parret slutter som nr. 3 med 73,425%.

 

Jovian winner of 2-days stallion performance test in Verden with impressive 9,01 (total result list of 4 yr old stallions)

Jovian scoring: trot 9,5 - canter 9,3 - walk 7,5 - ride ability 9,5 - over all impression 9,0 = 9,01

Some of the comments from the judge today:

"It is a pleasure to comment a stallion with such high basic qualities and powerful movements. From yesterday with own rider we wanted to see the stallion opening more up in the frame, and together with the test rider Philip Hess Jovian responded very well to advices from Oliver Oelrich. The trot is with top potential if you want to collect he collects, and if you want to extended the frame he bring the nose forward with good use of the topline. Much uphill and off the ground. The canter is always with clear 3-beat in a closed uphill frame, and with ability to extended. The walk lack bit more suppleness, but could with a more open frame be able to improve the walk. The test rider found the horse easy to handle, light and easy for the aides. A horse with huge potential for the sport."

A huge CDI4 Grand Prix class at Lier - home soil win for Jorinde Verwimp with her Olympic horse Tiamo

35 combinations at start for today´s Grand Prix

The class started at 15:15 and last combination had start time at 21:52, between with two normal breaks and a dinner break for 45 minutes. 

Local Jorinde Verwimp with Tiamo did not surpricing take the victory. During her test they had some minor issues with the letters at the corners away from the judges tables. The first half pass to right was lacking some more clear flow and balance while the left one becomes with better flow. The piaffe and passage tours were at a good level with nice steps and activity. Final transition at M is late. Well deserved victory with 73,217%.

2nd was the powerful Lusitano mare Batuta with Spanish Sergio Martin Palos in the saddle. No techinal issues, but a bit of tensions for some moments and you could wish for a bit more open neck. 

Two Danish combinations

Charlotte Heering has her now 17 year old Joker Selection back in the arena after a very long break suffering from lamenitis. He looked top fit. They start out with a not so good entering halt but from there they manage well, just with a couple of extra changes between the pirouettes. Unfortunately Joker seems to find it enough when going into the final piaffe where he rears and does not show the piaffe. Very expensive final. 

Lone Bang Larsen and Bakkely´s Onandt were ready for their international Grand Prix debut and they were well prepared from a couple of successful Danish shows. But the fact that the corner where the VIP tables are, just a the moment when Lone was riding, were cleaned from the dinner buffet, was just too much for Onandt to keep him focused on the job in the arena. So all the way with every single exercise going into that corner/area was unfortunately not successful.

The 10 year old chestnut mare Daula by Gribaldi with Dutch Danielle Hijnkoop show a smooth and supple trot tour in a lovely frame, good walk with a bit big pirouettes, good canter tour with more relaxation as we saw then last time. Well balanced canter pirouettes and the series were ok, but with a couple of changes a bit small hind. Final winner score 72,941%.

2nd was Belgium Olympian rider Jorinde Verwimp with 8 yr old gelding Kastar Hof Ter Zeedy. They were show a nice active trot tour with nice supple half passes. The collected walk becomes a bit tense in the body while the extended walk was shown with super nice relaxation and over track. Good quality of the canter, unfortunately both canter pirouettes are lacking a bit more collection and balance, and after the first pirouette Kastar changes un the way out but Jorinde manage to correct him. Nice series. Score 71,441%.

Best placed Danish combination became the new Blue Hors rider Nanna Merrald with Gørklintgårds Quater Boy. They were placed as no 5 with 69,853% for their international debut today. Super expressive and well balanced trot tour with supple half passes and lovely balance for both volte. Good collected walk and unfortunately Quater Boy loose a step for the first walk pirouette, the extended walk lack bit more relaxation and over the back. Super smooth canter tour with nice balanced pirouettes and very nice expressive series. 

Danish Charlotte Heering and her 12 year old blank mare Pearl Black by Painted Black / Negro did their international debut scoring 68,441% placed as no 8. Starting with a bit open halt, nice flow in the trot tour but showing a bit of tensions, at the end of extended trot at the diagonal. Bit of tension for the walk pirouettes as the extended walk could show a bit more relaxation. Super sit for pirouettes with good balance, small change after 2nd pirouette. By the 3 times Black Pearl take the last change by herself after just 2 strides.
