Queenparks Wendy and Jameson RS2 in a special league

Home soil favorite Jameson with Marieke van der Putten did not disappoint the sharp audience, but the big difference between him and Queenparks Wendy was the walk.

Jameson showing a bit limited walk while Queenparks Wendy shows top relaxation through the body walk. Jameson shows extraordinary extensions for both trot and canter, while the collected canter with turns and counter canter lacking a bit more clear rhythm of the ground. Here Wendy becomes a bit hurried for the trot extensions, but super balanced for all the canter work no matter if it is collected or extensions. Both horses were presented in a lovely 100% steady frame.

Queenparks Wendy 🇩🇰 / Andreas Helgstrand - good halt, top motivated active trot tour in good balance, bit hurried extensions, good halt small tensions for rein back, super nice walk tour with good relaxation and nice over track, super well balance canter tour including very nice simple change and nice balance for counter canter, nice stretching for longer reins. Super presentation.A very correct presentation from Dorothee Schneider with Dante´s Hit placed them as overall 4th. Dante´s Hit is well balanced in all three gait, but lacking bit more strength to make the picture more powerful.

Jameson RS2 🇳🇱 / Marieke van der Putten - active light footed trot tour, super nice extensions uphill, bit tense halt with rein back, good walk but could show bit more over the back, bit tensions for collected canter, super extensions, nice simple change, good transition to trot, nice stretching for longer reins.

Dante´s Hit 🇩🇪 / Dorothee Schneider - good trot tour nice balance, lack bit more push for extensions, tense halt with rein back, today's best walk tour so far, good canter tour lack bit more over all power, but very correct presentation.

First part of 5 year old qualifier

Espe and Eva Möller - photo credit: Lily Forado

Stefanie Wolf and For Gold in the lead with a super presentation, but with the sharp perspective glasses the hindlegs are just missing more push under the body for all gaits.

A clear medal horse is Espe with Eva Möller and it seems very harsh with 6,5 for the walk, as the walk itself is with super quality and rhythm, but yes not 100% relaxed but not for just 6,5! From H2R point of view this must be reflected by the submission where they correctly were scored with 7,8.

Espe 🇩🇪 / Eva Möller - light-footed power trot, bit high tempo, super balance, good halt with rein back, tense start walk but active good power walk tiny unsteady search for the bit, power canter uphill active, superb transition to walk, super counter canter and transition to trot, super presentation.

Springbank II VH with Severo Jurado Lopez showed a strong test, but for some moment the big stallion lacking a bit more clear self carriage and push from hind, becomes tiny unsteady in the contact.

Springbank II VH 🇸🇪 Severo Jurado Lopez - bit unbalanced halt, lot of power for trot bit unbalanced moments in the contact, super halt with rein back, active walk with good relaxation, super power for canter tour, late transition to trot.

Both Danish horses Eleverhøjs Raccolto with Meike Lang and Skovens Tzarina with Betina Jæger were showing super nice qualities, but lacking more relaxation and suppleness for the walk tours.

Everhøjs Raccolto 🇩🇰DEN (GER) - super nice supple forward trot tour in a nice frame, unfortunately very tense halt with rein back, good rhythm for the walk tour, could show more over track, lovely uphill well balanced canter, super from behind every single stride, simple change to close to the fence becomes unbalanced, nice trot with longer reins in good balance.

Skovens Tzarina 🇩🇰/ Betina Jæger - light and easy trot tour in good balance with nice expression, bit tense halt with rein back, need bit more let go for the walk tour good, good rhythm, good quality in the canter, small tension for simple change.

For both Solo Mio presented for USA by Emily Miles and Hawtins Lirica with British Lucinda Elliot they became a bit unbalanced during their tests. Both horses with super nice qualities but lacking a bit more support from their riders to be able to show their top potential.

FEI Press Release - Gigantic medal haul for Germany at FEI Youth Dressage Championship in San Giovanni

Only a Dutch double stood in the way of a total German whitewash

Team Germany almost completely dominated the FEI Dressage European Championship 2019 for U25, Young Riders, Juniors and Children staged at the fabulous Horses Riviera Resort at San Giovanni in Marignano, near Rimini in Italy (23-28 July).

They claimed nine of the 11 gold medal placings on offer, with only a Dutch double standing in the way of a total German whitewash. High temperatures in the early part of the week were followed by rain on the final day, but nothing could get in the way of sparkling sport filled with great promise for the future in this demanding equestrian discipline.

With its six floodlit arenas, top-class stabling and extensive hospitality areas the venue, which lies on the Adriatic Sea, was something of a paradise for the record number of young athletes from 26 countries who turned up with their support teams, families and friends. As Maria Schierholter Otte, team leader of the German Junior and Young Rider squads said, “it is essential for the teams to be able to compete in all four categories in the same place so, from this point of view, San Giovanni is the ideal solution!”

Juniors

It was triple-gold for Jana Schrödter and her stallion Der Erbe who, along with her German team-mate Anna Middelberg partnering Blickfang, posted the two leading scores on the opening day of the Junior team test last Wednesday. When compatriot Valentina Pistner posted the biggest mark of the entire competition with Flamboyant the following day, then the Junior Team title was in German hands. Henriette Schmidt and Rocky’s Sunshine were the fourth combination in the winning side, and such was the quality of the German performances that her strong score of 74.182 was the discard. 

The final leaderboard showed the gold medallists on a team total of 76.081, with The Netherlands’ Pam Verbeek (Fernando Torres), Annemijn Boogaard (Fullspeed TC), Sanne van der Pols (Excellentie) and Marten Luiten (Fynons) in silver medal spot on 73.485. Denmark took the bronze when the average score for Sofie Hansen (Dieu D’Amour 3), Frederikke Gram Jacobsen (Ryvangs Zafina), Maria Mejlgaard jensen (Uno lV) and Sara Aagaard Hyrm was 71.959. 

Awarded a massive 77.971, 18-year-old Schrödter then went on to win the Individual title ahead of The Netherlands’ Luiten in silver on a mark of 75.588 and Schrödter’s team-mate Pistner in bronze (74.794). And these three horse-and-rider combinations remained on precisely the same steps of the podium when the Freestyle medals were awarded on Sunday. It was an extraordinary series of results for the new triple champion who was originally a reserve for her team but who was called into action at the last moment to substitute for Lucie-Anouk Baumgurtel.

A total of 78 athletes and teams from 19 countries contested the Junior medals.

Young Riders

The Netherlands’ Daphne van Peperstraten and Greenpoint’s Cupido topped the Young Riders team scoreboard with a mark of 74.265 after the first day, but Germany’s Semmieke Rothenberger demoted her to runner-up spot when the second tranche took their turn the following day and, like her Junior squad-mate, went on to score a hat-trick of victories.

Rothenberger’s strong score of 77.559 with Dissertation was backed up by Paulina Holzknecht (Wells Fargo), Alexa Westendorp (Four Seasons) and Lia Welschof (Linus K) to ensure the German average mark of 74.745 for the gold. Once again the Dutch had to settle for silver when Paperstraten, Kimberly Pap (Vloet Victory), Thalia Rockx (Verdi de la Fazenda) and Esme Donkers (Chaina) rounded up their results to an average of 73.030. Sweden’s Linnea Williamson (Tabasco), Elin Mattsson (Beckham), Cecilia Bergakra Berglund (Primavera) an Evelina Doerstrom (Weihenstephaner) claimed team bronze on 69.687.

In the Young Riders Individual, Rothenberger’s impressive mark of 78.941 pinned The Netherlands’ Pap into silver and her German team-mate Welschof into bronze. It was closer in the Freestyle, with just over half a percentage point separating her from team silver medallist Donkers, and the Dutch were particularly strong here, Pap clinching the bronze just ahead of van Paperstraten.

Success is no stranger to Rothenberger whose family are steeped in Dressage history. She already had eight European gold medals in the bag by the end of her career in ponies, highlighted by brilliant partnerships with both the wonderful Golden Girl and the delightful Deinhard B. She won three more at Junior level with Geisha and Dissertation, and although she has claimed two Young Rider golds with Geisha in recent years, she pulled out Dissertation, who helped her become double Junior champion at Oliva (ESP) three years ago, to do the hat-trick this time around.

"It couldn’t have been better - I am particularly proud of these results obtained against very strong opponents. And I really like the system here, this is a perfect place to both train and compete!"

Semmieke Rothenberger (GER)

A total of 57 horse-and-rider combinations battled for the Young Riders medals, and 13 countries were represented in the team competition.

Children

Allegra Schmitz-Morkramer’s big score of 78.385 with Lavissaro led Germany to the Children’s team title. Clara Paschertz (Belvedere), Kenya Schwierking (Dinos Boy) and Lisa Steisslinger (Havanna Negra) helped secure the winning average of 74.667 and The Netherlands’ Maura Knipscheer (Amaretto), Senna Evers (Happy Feet), Lara van Nek (Fariska) and Anniek van Dulst (Isala’s Arielle) took the silver with 73.833. Russia’s Arina Makhileve (Titanie), Stefania Mechetina (San Calida), Yanina Frantsuzova (Flitslampje) and Karina Zakhrabekova (Ein Stern) pushed Team Belgium off the podium for the bronze when putting 69.859 on the board. 

And continuing the overwhelming German theme, 13-year-old Schmitz-Morkramer went on to scoop the Children’s Individual title. An impressive score of 78.607 clinched it, and it was Dutch girl Lara van Nek who earned the silver with a great score of 75.786 while Denmark got onto the podium when Annabelle Rehn and Aros A Fenris posted 74.893.

Double-gold medallist Schmitz-Morkramer put in excellent preparation for this year’s Championship with a series of great results at the Olympic test event in Hagen (GER) where she pinned team-mate Steisslinger into second and van Neck into third in the Children’s Individual competition.

A total of 50 competitors and nine teams lined out in this division. 

U25

The only category in which the Germans were thrown off-course was in the U25 in which The Netherlands’ Jeanine Nieuwenhuis broke their stranglehold. However even though she posted the top score in the Intermediate ll which decided the team medals, it was Germany who claimed the team title here yet again when Jill-Marielle Becks (Damoris Delorange) finished second, Bianca Nowag (Sir Hohenstein) finished third and Raphael Netz filled fifth place. Fourth member of the gold-medal-winning German side was Ann Kathrin Lindner (Gunfire).

Nieuwenhuis had to settle for team silver along with Dutch team-mates Carlijn Huberts (Watoeshi), Jasmien de Koeyer (Esperanza) and Denise Nekeman (Boston STH), while Denmark’s Nana Gajhede (Overgaards Lowell), Emma Skov (Cracker Jack), Soren Wind (Diego) and Josefine Hoffmann (Hoenerups Driver) stood on the third step of the podium.

But 24-year-old Nieuwenhuis and the 14-year-old TC Athene reigned supreme in both Friday’s Grand Prix and Sunday’s Freestyle, pinning Nekeman into silver and Germany’s Becks into bronze in the former, and Germany’s Nowag into silver and Denmark’s Hoffmann into bronze in the latter. She first stood on a Championship podium when helping claim European Junior team gold in Bern (SUI) in 2012, and with TC Athene also won the Young Rider Individual title at Oliva (ESP) in 2016.

A total of 34 horse-and-rider combinations, and teams from seven nations, lined out in the U25 division.

Den gode ridning giver ikke kun medaljer her og nu

Er succeskriteriet medaljerne?

Et veloverstået EM for juniorer, children, ungryttere og U25 er netop afsluttet. Og ja, det blev til flere flotte danske medaljer i alle kategorier, så målsætningerne bliver nået, når man repræsenterer sin nation ved store mesterskaber ✅

H2R har i flere år fulgt ungdommen, dog lidt moderat fra sidelinien, men synes efter det her mesterskab, at der er god grund til ros, når vi snakker ungryttere og U25 (hverken kan eller vil naturligvis kommentere på blot procenterne hos juniorerne og children, da det ikke var muligt at følge med via live stream, men naturligvis også flotte resultater der.)

Kvaliteten i ridningen giver det rigtige afsæt i sporten

For de danske ungryttere, og U25 ekvipager, var fællesnævneren uden ´men´ alle red nydeligt og velbalanceret med super godt overblik. Og med nydeligt menes der også effektivt og blødt, men andre ord grundlæggende super god fornemmelse hos den enkelte rytter for hvad der sker under dem, og hvordan de agerer, korigerer og indvirker lettest muligt hele vejen, og måden de formår at komme videre på, også selvom der måske opstår uoverensstemmelser. Selvfølgelig medbringer de alle en større eller mindre portion erfaring, men det bringer bare ikke alene de gode resultater.

De unge mennesker som repræsenterede de danske farver hos både ungrytterne og U25 repræsenterer alle kvalitetsridning med den rigtige fornemmelse inde på banen, flot attitude og fin opstilling - det skal Danmark huske at dyrke endnu mere.

Opbakningen giver mulighederne

Bag alle ekvipagerne står naturligvis et super vigtigt team. Forældreopbakningen er altafgørende, og ikke mindst den træner og mentor, som de unge mennesker får deres hjælp fra. Træneren til hver enkelt af de unge ekvipager kan være pavestolt - uanset medaljer eller ej, de unge ryttere her har alle fået en uvurderlig værktøjskasse med fra det niveau de nu er nået til, og er uden tvivl både motiveret og nysgerrige for at tage springet videre - tak til trænerne for at formidle den gode ridning hele vejen.

Man sidder faktisk med fornemmelsen, efter sådan et mesterskab, at her er basis bygget for fremtidens seniorer, når Danmark skal ud i den store verden, og følge i fodsporene på bl.a. Cathrine og Daniel.
