Auction focus - VAN OLST SALES - Kratos
Another Glamourdale / Jazz super combination. Quick off the ground, with nice closed natural frame, and nice freedom in all 3 gaits.
Kratos moves very well, has good hindleg action and nice balance. He is easy to train. Kratos is the third horse in the auction with the Glamourdale x Jazz parentage. Jazz-mare Rhotesse D herself competed very credibly at Z2-level. There are many international sport horses in this dam-line. The parentage also includes the Furst Ferdinand Z-mare, Calgary B, who is also the dam of several sport horses competing at Z-level or higher.

To dages træningssamling på Blue Hors veloverstået
Agnete Kirk Thinggaard og Blue Hors Zatchmo til CDI3 i Herning - photo credit: H2R
Mandag og tirsdag har været med træningssamling for en del af seniorerne på Blue Hors
- Cathrine Dufour med 3 heste, Atterupgaards Cassidy, Bohemian og Zundance.
- Agnete Kirk Thinggaard med 2 heste, Atterupgaards Orthilia og Blue Hors Zatchmo.
- Daniel Bachmann Andersen med 2 heste, Blue Hors Zepter og Blue Hors Don Olymbrio.
- Anna Zibandtsen med Arlando.
Derudover deltog Anders Dahl (uden hest) samt højgravide Anna Kasprzak, naturligvis også uden hest. Der var afbud fra Rikke Svane og Finckenstein TSF, da Rikke desværre havde fået influenza.
"Træningstemperaturen" var rigtig fin på alle de fremmødte ekvipager, og alle trænede super godt fortæller holdleder Helle Krasnik Trolle.
Mandag aften var der orientering fra den danske holddyrlæge Frederik Nielsen omkring bl.a. blodprøveregler når hestene skal til USA, og her deltog også repræsentanter fra nogle af de andre specialforbund under DRF.
Forårets stævneplanlægning er i gang
Frem mod årets vigtigste begivenhed VM i Tryon i USA, vil det ikke nødvendigvis være de stærkest kort som kommer til start i f.eks. Hagen som ligger i slutningen af april, og Aachen som jo traditionen tro er sidste store stævne inden mesterskaberne.
Det bliver et forår med masser af internationale stævnemuligheder, bl.a. internationale stævner på dansk grund i både Ålborg og Uggerhalne.
Derfor har landstræner Nathalie zu Sayn-Wittgenstein valgt at lade det være forholdsvis åbent i forhold til hvilke stævner de enkelte ekvipager skal starte, og Nathalie vil samtidig være i tæt dialog med rytterne om hvor og hvordan, det passer bedst muligt ind i planlægningen frem mod endelig udtagelse af holdet til VM i USA. (Kvalifikationsperioden til VM går til 13. august.)

Exciting entry list for CDI4 Dortmund 22 - 25 March with come back for Desperados with Kristina Bröring-Sprehe
Auction focus KOJAK PB - Van Olst Sales
Lovely well balanced expressive mover. From the video presentation he shows a lot of positive power in a super natural uphill frame.
Kojak PB has a brilliant future ahead of him. He was gelded not so long ago and his behaviour is therefore still a little stallion-like. He is a sturdy,powerfully-moving gelding by the stallion Glamourdale. His dam Twoolya PB is also the mother of the Small Tour horse Boolya PB, by Krack C, the ZZ-Zwaar dressage horse Etwoolya SVK, by Painted Black, and the Hanover and Oldenburg approved stallion Don Dynamo, by Painted Black. The Z2 dressage mare Woolya, by Roemer, is also a full-sister of the dam of the KWPN-approved stallion Rousseau, by Ferro.

Banebrydende spændende nyt om Købeloven
Photo credit: H2R
Nyhed på Varmblod.dk 18. marts 2018
EU-Kommissionen har lagt op til, at handel med levende dyr skal udgå af reglerne om forbrugerkøb, hvilket sandsynligvis betyder, at den danske købelov på dette område føres tilbage til de regler, der var gældende før 1999
Den danske købelov indeholder i dag et afsnit, der tildeler forbrugere en udvidet beskyttelse sammenlignet med erhvervsdrivende købere, og disse regler blev indført som følge af forbrugerdirektivets vedtagelse i 1999 i EU.
De store organisationer World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses og European Horse Network har lagt et stort arbejde i at påvirke Europakommissionen til en direktivændring omkring lovgivningen om handel med levende dyr, og det viser sig nu, at lobbyarbejdet har båret frugt. Den 20. februar 2018 foreslog EU-Kommissionen, at handel med levende dyr helt skal udgå af reglerne om forbrugerkøb.
Kort udsigt til lovændring
Det vurderes, at direktivforslaget vedtages af EU-Parlamentet inden for seks måneder, og som en følge af direktivets vedtagelse antages det, at den danske købelov ændres, så afsnittet om forbrugerkøb helt undtages handel med levende dyr.
– Det er en meget opløftende nyhed, der kan få stor betydning for dansk hesteavl. Mange avlere har siden 1999 mistet lysten og modet til at avle, da købeloven i mange tilfælde har medført store økonomiske konsekvenser for sælgerne, som ofte er avlerne, sig formand for Dansk Varmblod, Jan Pedersen.
Jan Pedersen er også formand for den internationale paraplyorganisation for 75 ridehesteavlsforbund, WBFSH (World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses), som er en af hovedaktørerne, der har arbejdet målrettet for at påvirke EU-Kommissionen til en direktivændring.
Tilbage til tidligere regler
Ændres den danske købelov, så afsnittet om forbrugerkøb helt undtages handel med levende dyr, bliver retsstillingen formentligt den, at salg af levende dyr – uanset om det er til forbrugere eller erhvervsdrivende – alene omfattes af de regler, som var gældende forud for forbrugerdirektivets vedtagelse i 1999.
Det antages videre, at en sælger i forbrugerkøb blandt andet vil kunne aftale, at sælger ikke skal bære risikoen for fx skjulte mangler. Denne mulighed vil i praksis have stor betydning, eftersom det på nuværende tidspunkt ikke er muligt for sælger i forbrugerkøb at fraskrive sig sit ansvar.
Endvidere vil den såkaldte ’omvendte bevisbyrderegel’ udgå. Det betyder konkret, at det er køber, der skal bevise, at hesten er mangelfuld, uanset om manglen viser sig inden for de første seks måneder efter levering til køber.
Forbedret retsstilling for sælger
Endeligt ændres reklamationsfristen således, at det bliver muligt for sælger at indgå aftale med køber om, at køber har en kortere absolut reklamationsret end den nugældende på to år. Således bliver det fx tilladt at aftale, at køber alene kan reklamere over mangler, såfremt reklamation sker inden udløbet af fx tre måneder efter levering. Det skal dog præciseres, at såfremt sælger har tilbageholdt oplysninger, da vil sælger ikke kunne afskære køber fra at reklamere og dermed ej heller sit ansvar, uanset om parterne har aftalt en tidsbegrænset reklamationsfrist.
Overordnet kan det altså konstateres, at en vedtagelse af direktivforslaget sandsynligvis vil tildele sælger af levende dyr en større aftalefrihed i forbrugerkøb end hidtil, ligesom sælgers retsstilling i en række andre henseender forbedres.
Five times 10 from test rider Patrik Kittel at Danish Warmblood Young Horse Championship

The 35 best Danish Warmblood Young Horses, 5 year old qualified regional during last autumn, and the 24 best from the first two days at Herning went on to test riding by Patrik Kittel. 15 horses Saturday and 9 Sunday to be tested.
It was a very educational, talking and positive Kittel in the saddle of the young horses, and he gave both the audience and the horses some very good time at Boxen arena.
In total Kittel gave a clear 10 five times when testing the 24 horses.
In front and outstanding all the way
The big impressive top mover Zhaplin Langholt by Glock´s Zonik / Stedinger presented by Andreas Helgstrand stood out from the start to the final. And it was also obvious when Kittel got in the saddle that the gelding just did everything he was asking for and at the same time with top qualities. Well deserved 10 for both ride ability and potential and overall clear winner.
"That was really a pleasure to do, I have to say"
Day 1 at the test riding the mare Atterupgaards Mildura DWB by Blue Hors Zack / Lord Sinclair presented by Carina Cassøe Krüth gave Patrik Kittel the best feeling, and he gave her a 10 for ride ability. After the testing Kittel said: "I have to say this horse gave me everything I want in a test riding, it has everything walk, trot and canter, ok it could reach a bit more for the trot. It has a quick explosive trot, fantastic in the hand, I gave her a 10 for ride ability".
10 for ride ability and 10 for potential
Day 2 with words of praise from test rider Patrik Kittel about Delizia by Fürstenball / De Noir ridden by Anne Troensegaard.
"Nice contact, good light search for the hand, trot through the body, nice hot for the canter. Fantastic horse for the future, OMG".
At the same time Kittel appointed Delizia as the most happy horse.
“Super nice horse. Everything you ask she does with at smile. Keep dancing.”

Classic Briolinca and Gareth Hughes wins CDI3 Grand Prix at Keysoe, GBR
Friday with CDI3 Grand Prix at Keysoe
Gareth Hughes showing a very nice balanced test, with just some minor issues, where the walk tour becomes with some tensions, and the subsequent piaffe also is shown with some tension. The overall impression is a very nice a easy picture.
Fiona Bigwood and her newly purchase 14 year old Danish Warmblood Kjærholms Abutsiaq by Michellino made their international debut with a 3rd place. No major errors, but lacking yet more fine tuning for the piaffe tours and transitions. Nice expression for the trot tour, good walk and nice series and good sit for pirouettes, 2nd pirouette becomes bit unbalanced out. Best piaffe with good transition out at the final centerline.
Best placed Danish combination is Ulrik Mølgaard with his Michellino son Michigan - they were placed as no 8 with 67,674%. Nice power for the trot tour. Super walk tour. The first piaffe lack more flow and go, and unfortunately an error at the end of the one times.
Danish Anders Dahl and Sir Donato finished as no 10 with 65,696%. Nice trot tour, the first two piaffe tours are very much forward. A small error in the mid of the one times. Both canter pirouettes becomes a bit unbalanced.
CROSBY - Highlight for the up coming Van Olst Sales 30th March
Talented quality 3 year old youngsters are ready for the auction, and at the same time the collection also contains a couple of more educated horses. Among them one of the highlights is the 7 year old approved stallion Crosby.
He has already proven himself at the competition arenas and shows the potential for the future. For sure Crosby can fulfull your dreams.
Crosby is a seven-year-old NRPS-approved stallion. Last year Crosby was amongst the top five of the six-year-olds during the Pavo Cup. As a result he was selected for the qualifiers for the World Championship for Young Dressage Horses. He displays a beautiful technique, performs very beautiful flying changes and excels with his correct attitude. Sire Chippendale is a son of the charming Lord Leatherdale. On his dam’s side Chippendale goes back to the famous preferente Negro and the Oldenburg top-producer Landadel. Chippendale’s dam, the elite sport-(dr) mare Ti Amo, is also well-known for being the full-sister of the successful Small Tour horse Strous.

Some confusion about the ranking after the CDI3 Grand Prix freestyle at Herning Sunday
Mai Tofte Olesen and Rustique - photo credit: H2R
When sitting at the arena watching the freestyle and saw the final results came up first without third placed German Bernadette Brune with Lights of Londonderry, and then some minutes later including her at the scoreboard, it of course made some confusion about what was really going on.
The fact is that Bernadette did not show up to the subsequent pricegiving, and according to the FEI rules you must take part in the pricegivning when placed as this is also a part of the competition, otherwise you will be disqualified.
Instead Danish Mai Tofte Olesen with Rustique stepped up and got the last placement as no 5 in the Grand Prix freestyle, unfortunately without being celebrated by her home crowd.
