Once again no 1 looks like the clear top price for the auction. Impressive well moving 4 year old gelding by Dante Weltino / Vitalis. Very nice angle from behind in the trot and with nice expression in the forehand, good canter and very good walk.
The two other highlights from H2R point of view are both medium size horses, but common is very strong hindlegs, a natural closed frame and good expression, also when not presented in a high tempo.
Here you find the entire collection.
Lollipop and Marianne Helgstrand
The 15 year old Lollipop with Marianne Helgstrand won today’s CDI3 Grand Prix at home soil in Uggerhalne.
The overall impression of their test was with power and expression, and with a super nice trot tour including sharp and expressive passage/piaffe tours, good walk tour, for the canter the 2 times becomes slightly mixed up with some one times, but super nice one times though. Both pirouettes could be shown with a bit more control and balance. Result 71,217% and for sure a huge improvement since CDI4 in Herning in March, and also a couple for the Danish national coach Nathalie zu Sayn-Wittgenstein to keep an eye on.
3rd - Kastel´s Nintendo USA - good halt, nice diagonal, good crossing and carriage for half passes, bit unbalanced halt for rein back, bit running diagonal, nice transition to passage, good expression passage, good piaffe but a few uneven steps hind, nice transitions, good walk tour, nice transition to passage, very nice springing passage, good 2nd piaffe nice balance, error 2 times, good zigzag, nice 1 times, good pirouettes slightly hurried, good transition to trot, nice final, becomes a bit uneven hind for final passage.
4th - Bakkely’s Onandt DEN - Nice halt, power diagonal, super flow/go for half passes, becomes spooky at C for halt, power diagonal, nice flow passage, piaffe, passage with active piaffe, super walk tour, nice transition to passage, super sit 2nd piaffe, nice transitions, super 2 times, bit hind aides for zigzag, full risk extended canter, good 1 times, lack bit more clear canter for 1st pirouette, small issue into final piaffe.
Not much to say, just enjoy Nanna Merrald and the 8 year old HANN stallion Blue Hors St. Schufro performing their first international Prix Sct. Georg. They really look like a sharp card for the prestigious Nürnberger Burg-Pokal competition.
Blue Hors St. Schufro DEN - smooth uphill, active, supple trot tour 78%!, nice walk pirouettes, good collected walk, good relaxation for extended walk, WAUW sit and control 1st canter pirouette! small tensions for series but well managed.

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.

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).
