Fiontini and Severo Jurado Lopez at FEI World Championships for Young Horses in Ermelo
Press release
The three times world champion, Fiontini has just returned from participating in the prestigious gala show during Herning Horse Show. She was honoured together with Helgstrand's Spanish top rider, Severo Jurado López, for their winnings at the World Championships for Young Horses in Ermelo. The successful mare will continue to stay at Helgstrands, but now changes the owner to Stutteri Evo and Helgstrand Dressage.
The three times world champion, Fiontini by Fassbinder/Blue Hors Romanov, who in October 2016 was bought by the Swedish rider Beata Söderberg, has now been bought in partnership by Stutteri Evo in Vejen, Denmark and Helgstrand Dressage in Vodskov, to ensure a horse towards Olympic Games in Tokyo 2020.
- There is hardly any doubt that Fiontini is a special horse and that she has all the qualities needed to compete internationally. For three years, she has shown her great capacity at the World Championships for Young Horses and we are sure she has what it takes to get in the top when it comes to the Olympics in the summer of 2020, says Andreas Helgstrand.
Most people know this special mare, who have had a unique partnership with Spanish, Severo Jurado López, in recent years.
- We are delighted that Fiontini is staying at our place and for now the plan is that Severo will continue her training. The two are a fantastic match and we have great expectations for their common future, says Andreas Helgstrand.
Fiontini is bred by Hanne Lund and Henrik Hansen.
Fiontini solgt til Stutteri EVO og Helgstrand Dressage
Den tredobbelte verdensmester, Fiontini er netop hjemvendt efter at have deltaget i det prestigefyldte gallashow under hingstekåring i Herning. Her blev hun hædret sammen med Helgstrands spanske toprytter, Severo Jurado López, for deres sejre ved unghesteverdensmesterskaberne i Ermelo. Den succesfulde hoppe bliver i samme stald, men skifter nu ejer til Stutteri Evo og Helgstrand Dressage.
Den tredobbelte verdensmester, Fiontini (Fassbinder/Blue Hors Romanov), der i oktober 2016 skiftede ejer til den svenske rytter, Beata Söderberg, er nu købt i partnerskab af Stutteri Evo i Vejen og Helgstrand Dressage ved Vodskov, for at sikre en hest frem mod OL 2020 i Tokyo.
"Der er vist næppe nogen tvivl om, at Fiontini er en hest i særklasse og at hun besidder alle de kvaliteter, der skal til for at være med i verdenseliten. Hun har tre år i træk vist sit værd til unghesteverdensmesterskaberne og vi er sikre på, at hun har det der skal til, for at blande sig i toppen, når det kommer til OL i sommeren 2020," fortæller Andreas Helgstrand.
Hoppen, som de fleste kender og som har været på manges læber, har de seneste år haft et unikt makkerskab med spanske, Severo Jurado López.
"Vi glæder os over, at Fiontini bliver i stalden og planen er nu, at hun fortsat skal danne par med Severo. De to udgør et fantastisk makkerpar og vi har store forventninger til deres fælles fremtid", afslutter Andreas Helgstrand.

Sunday afternoon the approved stallions were inspected for a 10-day observation test prior to the upcoming breeding season.
The stallions are lightly ridden at the test where they are being observed for rideability, temperament and stable vices. Only if the 10-day observation test is passed with a satisfactory result, the stallion may proceed to carry out breeding duties this year and must return to the stallion licensing next year for a new approval.
H2R caught most a small impression from most of the stallions for the 10-day observation test.

This weekend at home soil at CDI3 event at Herning, during Danish Warmblood stallion show Daniel Bachmann Andersen showed a very motivated and fresh Blue Hors Don Olymbrio for the big tour Grand Prix and Grand Prix freestyle. Both classes they came 2nd to the very experienced Russian combination Mister X and Inessa Merkulova.
They showed a nice and smooth Grand Prix test with no major errors, and just lacking a bit more strength and security for piaffe tours and pirouettes, but still scoring very nicely.

Part of Danish Warmblood press release
At the Danish Warmblood Stallion Licensing in Herning 21 dressage stallions and 10 show jumping stallions in the group of untested stallions were approved Sunday afternoon. 11 became premium stallions
Group I at the Danish Warmblood Stallion Licensing consists of stallions that have not yet passed a performance test and these youngsters are predominantly 3-year-olds. In the past, the Danish Warmblood breeding committee appointed a champion stallion in each discipline, dressage and show jumping, but in order to avoid too much focus on one untested young stallion the procedure has changed. The best individuals of the collection are appointed as premium stallions, but not no champions are named.
This year the judges found the quality of the young stallions very high, and hence a total of 31 were approved –21 dressage stallions and 10 show jumping stallions out of which seven dressage stallions and four show jumping stallions were awarded premium.
Sunday evening the approved stallions were inspected for a 10-day observation test prior to commencing the breeding season. The stallions are lightly ridden at the test where they are being observed for rideability, temperament and stable vices. Only if the 10-day observation test is passed with a satisfactory result, the stallion may proceed to carry out breeding duties this year and must return to the stallion licensing next year for a new approval.

On Sunday afternoon at the grand final of the Danish Warmblood Stallion Licensing the audience and the judges witness an unusually strong collection of 4-year-old stallions
Among the dressage as well as the show jumping stallions there are certainly prospects not only for the FEI/WBFSH World Championships for Young Horses but also future FEI horses with an international show career.
Whereas no champion stallions are appointed in the group of 3-year-olds, two (dressage and show jumping) champions are appointed among the 4-year-old stallions. Here the title winners as best Danish-bred dressage and show jumping stallions are also named and decorated with the Aage Ravn and Elvin Rasmussen challenge trophies.
The performance test winner in show jumping, Fidelio Ask was appointed champion stallion and winner of the Elvin Rasmussen challenge trophy as well as he was decorated with a breeder medal of silver.
In the dressage ring of unusual high quality, the Swedish-bred Springbank II VH, a superior performance test winner, claimed the champion title and was praised by the judges as an extremely attractive and talented stallion.
Best Danish-bred dressage stallion, the highly elegant Blue Hors Zack received the Aage Ravn challenge trophy and a breeder medal in gold. Thereby, Blue Hors Zack is the 7th stallion in Danish Warmblood’s history to be decorated with the coveted gold medal.

One of the highest awards a stallion can obtain in Danish Warmblood is the coveted title Stallion of the Year. This year the prestigious title goes to 12-year-old Fürstenball
Spokesman of the breeding committee, Claus Hansen, introduced the Stallion of the Year with these words:
– He is still one of the most used stallions in Europe. He is immensely true to type, has a superior interior and excellent basic gaits which are assetts that he with great certainty passes on to his offspring. He is known worldwide for putting an eye-catching quality mark on all his offspring. There is no doubt that he is one of the stallions that have always had and always will have the breeders’ attention and interest.
– In Denmark alone, he has sired more than 400 offspring and in 2017 he received the Danish Warmblood quality label, Elite Stallion. For several years he has been top placed in both the Danish and the German breeding index values for dressage.
Fürstenball by Fürst Heinrich / Donnerhall (bred by Georg Sieverding) is co-owned by Lone Bøgh Henriksen of HP Horses and Paul Schockemühle of Hengsthaltung Schockemühle. Unfortunately, Fürstenball is not able to be present in Herning this year, but a short video about Fürstenball was shown on the big screen.
As the visible proof of the title as the Stallion of the Year 2018, Danish Warmblood's chairman Jan Pedersen presented the statuette donated by former chairman Peder Hostrup Pedersen, along with a painting of the stallion.
– I hope that everyone associated with Fürstenball will be delighted with the statuette's unconditional symbol for this remarkable achievement, Claus Hansen concluded.

Young horses shine on thrilling afternoon; six WEL nations will be represented in Paris
With the biggest smile on her face that said it all as she strutted down the centreline for the final time, defending series champion, Germany’s Isabell Werth (48), nailed her fourth win of the season at the last qualifier of the FEI World Cup™ Dressage 2017/2018 Western European League in ’s-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands today. On an afternoon when many of the early starters were hampered by spooky moments in the ring, the second-half contestants really raised the bar, and once Werth and Emilio took their turn when fifth-last to go, her score of 87.405 would be the winning one.
They weren’t the only partnerships to bring the crowd in the Brabanthalle to their feet however, as home runners Edward Gal (48) and Glock’s Zonik got the same treatment when slotting into second on 83.900 following a great test. And, last in, compatriot Madeleine Witte-Vrees (45) and Cennin posted 82.555 to demote Germany’s Jessica von Bredow-Werndl (32) and Zaire-E to fourth place. The packed stadium of spectators enjoyed a real treat in the closing stages, but it was all about Isabell once again as she marches towards the 2018 FEI World Cup™ Dressage Final in Paris, France next month to chase down her second successive title and her fourth overall.
She has rarely looked more happy and confident throughout the extraordinary career during which she has become the most medalled athlete in equestrian sport. And with two wins from her superstar Olympic ride Weihegold and another two from Emilio who was at his very best today, her horses are also in the form of their lives this winter. Weihegold the wonder-mare is of course her first choice for the Final, but Werth was thrilled with her 12-year-old gelding whose presence in the ring seems to grow with every outing. Pinned back to second place in Gothenburg, Sweden two weeks ago he stepped it up even more this afternoon.
"Emilio certainly showed an improvement today, he was amazing, he felt like 90%!"
Isabell Werth GER (1st)
Another with a big smile at the end of his ride was 2010 champion Gal who can’t help but be excited by the rapid development of his fabulous 10-year-old stallion, Zonic, whose trot extensions drew gasps of delight from the crowd.
"“He’s improving so fast, this was only his third World Cup! There are a few little things that need improving, but he keeps surprising me!”
Edward Gal NED (2nd)
The 2018 Final will be another big test for this lovely young horse, and the Dutch are looking stronger by the day, with Witte-Vrees’ stallion Cennin still only 11 and also looking mature beyond his years.
Today’s result has decided the Western European League qualifying spots for the Final which takes place from 11 to 15 April at which nine riders from six nations - Austria, Denmark, Germany, Great Britain, Netherlands and Sweden - will do battle with the rest of the best in the world. Britain’s Emile Faurie just squeezed into equal-eighth place despite having to withdraw from today’s competition with his gelding, Lollipop.
Result:
1. Emilio 107 (Isabell Werth) GER 87.405
2. Glock's Zonik NOP (Edward Gal) NED 83.900
3. Cennin (Madeleine Witte-Vrees) NED 82.555
Triple World Champions for Young Horses Sezuan and Fiontini were some of Friday´s top highlight at this years Danish Warmblood stallion show - enjoy below.
11 show jumping stallions and 19 dressage stallions have been approved at the Danish Warmblood Stallion Licensing in MCH Messecenter Herning today
4-year-old stallions and the 5-year-old and older stallions have now been evaluated and received the verdict on whether they have been approved. The stallions that are now approved can participate in the stallion presentation classes at the stallion licensing the forthcoming days.
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.
On Sunday the 4-year-old stallions will be competing for the champion titles, and the best Danish bred stallions can be awarded breeder medals and challenge trophies for best Danish bred stallions of each discipline.
Grand final on Sunday
The 3-year-old stallions have also been presented on hard surface today. The show jumping stallions have been shown in free-jumping Wednesday and in lunge lines Thursday, and tomorrow they will be shown in free-jumping a second time. The dressage stallions will be shown in lunge lines Friday morning and shown free in the arena in the afternoon. Saturday is a day-off for the stallion prospects, but Sunday is the grand final where the judges announce their verdict on which stallions will be approved for testing and which one are awarded premium.
The following 4-year-old as well as 5-year-old and older stallions have been approved for breeding or for testing prior to breeding:

Min clinic bliver som et seminar med tovejskommunikation mellem publikum og mig, siger Patrik Kittel. Photo credit: Ridehesten.com
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.

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.
