10% ahead
Exercise by exercise Dufour is just collecting valuable points all the way. It is obvious that Cathrine wanted to show a better test than the Grand Prix yesterday - and she did. As Cathrine told after her test: “today I was 100% in control and I’m very pleased about our performance”.

Big win for Dufour with Cassidy and huge imprint from the other Danish combinations in today's CDI3 Grand Prix at Aalborg Dressage Event
Atterupgaards Cassidy and Cathrine Dufour
Sharp Cassidy and Dufour even with a few minor issues today. The overall picture was sharp, with power, and even more espression for passage and piaffe. For the piaffe itself it looked with more sit and more lift in the forehand.
Nanna Merrald with Sådan Que showed also a very strong test. Easy effortless all the way, just the swinging one times makes the picture a bit unclear.
Helene Melsen show her stallion Aston Martin more motivated as we’ve seen him lately. Less switching tail and not crop high for the series.
Betina Jæger with a “new” Grand Prix partner Heartbreaker. A lot to like, with very good basic qualities and of course some minor communication issues.
Trine Mittag Jensen with Gammelenggårds Easy showed her best performance ever. Much better overall picture with the not high hindlegs all the time, good sit in the piaffe tours. Looks like less is more for her.
Signe Kirk Kristiansen and Her Highness O gives a nice and effortless impression. Not over ridden, but for the piaffe tours it just look like that Her Highness needed a bit more help from the rider today.

Danish Lone Jørgensen with talented Danish Warmblood mare Down Under
Corinna and Lone Jørgensen - private photo
Busy and exciting new life
Back in 2012 former Olympic Danish team rider Lone Jørgensen, her husband Uli Eggers and their daughter Monica moved to Australia.
During the years Lone has been building up a real solid business teaching some of the dressage entusiast in Australia. Among some of her clients is Pauline Carnovale, she has more talented horses and is riding Grand Prix herself.
The Danish Warmblood mare Corinna by Crelido / Loran born 2007 bred by Stutteri Hove, Gitte Søgaard and Poul Hove, Denmark, was purchased by Pauline and her husband Frank Carnovale about 4-5 years ago in The Netherlands. Pauline herself has been successful at small tour level with Corinna, but the further step for Grand Prix with Corinna was not quite obvious, and therefore Lone got the possibility to train Corinna.
As Lone tells, its been a challenging journey, but after 10 month both the piaffe and one times is getting there, and Lone is happy being back in business with a horse showing huge potential and qualities for the future, and she is of course very thankful to Pauline and Frank for giving her this opportunity. This weekend they just made their debut at national Intermediaire II level with 72,3% and 73,8%. Newt step ii national Grand Prix in June.
Here you find an article H2R made back in Dec 2015 about Lone Jørgensen and the move to Australia (in Danish).
