In 2015 as many as 11 foals were born at stud farm Atterupgaard by Kristine Munch Sinding. One of the foals died at a young age, but the other 10 have grown and were all participating at Danish Warmblood qualifications in 2019 for the Young Horse Championship in Herning 2020, but one did not show due to a hoof abscess. The remaining nine have all participated at the ability test, and no less than six have been qualified for Blue Hors Young Horse Champion at the Danish Warmblood Stallion in Herning in week 10/2020.
Four of these nine Atterupgaard horses from 2015 are by former own bred champion stallion, Atterupgaard's Seebach by Sandro Hit / Caprimond (now successful at Inter I level with Rune Willum). The dam of Atterupgaard´s Seebach Dicte is fullsister of Atterupgaards Cassidy and also the dam of three licensed stallions: Fassbinder by Fürst Heinrich, Atterupgaards Botticello by Benetton Dream and Atterupgaards Barcelo by Bon Coeur.

An evening with top stars and World Champions
After watching this spectacular presentation of one top stallion after the other, you were in doubt that the partnership between Helgstrand Dressage and Schockemöhle gave a clear picture of Helgstrand Dressage dominating the Dressage scene, while Schokemöhle dominating the Jumper scene.
Best dressage stallion from Schockemöhle and HP Horses, was Nürnberger Burg-Pokal winnerand World Championship bronze medalist Total Hope OLD with Isabel Freese in the saddle as their absolut juvel. Every time your watching Total Hope he is doing his job effortless, without tensions, fully focused and with high qualities - just a pleasure to watch.
The impact and qualities of both Danish Warmblood stallion Sezuan as a sire, and Oldenburger stallion Sir Donnerhall I as damsire in the breeding were really shown this night.
The best other younger stallions from Schockemöhle were:
Fürst Zonik PS (2017) by Fürstenball / Zonik, champion stallion from Mecklenburger licensing, nice well moving expressive stallion
Sezuan´s Donnerhall (2015) by Sezuan / Sir Donnerhall I, clearly a long legged still young looking stallion with good qualities.
Donier (2015) by De Niro / Totilas, not the most obvious stallion but look like a horse for the future top sport.
VIDEOS from H2R favourites: (Videos captured by Stefanie Löhmann)
3 year old - Rockabye by Revolution / Belstaff. An impressive young stallion showing three very good basic gaits without any weaknesses.
3 year old - Total Maclaren by Totilas / De Niro, latest purchase just arrived from the KWPN stallion licensing. Long legged super modern stallion which showed himself with top qualities at the licensing including a super well balanced presentation by lunging.
3 year old - My Vitality by Vivaldi / D-Day (full brother of Vitalis). Selected for Danish Warmblood licensing in March. Another top offspring by Vivaldi, and with his very short time under saddle he is showing superb balance and qualities in all three gaits.
8 year old - Total Hope OLD by Totilas / Don Schufro. This stallion always brings the positive effortless attitude and showing huge abilities with top qualities.
4 year old Fynch Hatton OLD by Formel Eins / Sir Donnerhall I, 2019 OLD saddle licensing Champion. Impressive big framed stallion type with lots of quality, power and top rideability.
7 year old Revolution by Rocky Lee / Rouletto. Two time World Championship medalist. Revolution was showing enormous basic gaits when he was 3 and 4 year old, and for the doubters those gaits are still very impressive, and at the same time the angle and balance for the very difficult exercises like passage and piaffe are just spot on.
3 year old So Perfect by Sezuan / Sir Donnerhall I. 2019 OLD reserve champion (video from stallion show Vechta 2/2-2020). Elegant, well moving and light footed Sezuan son.
3 year old Westfalian Champion Dynamic Dream by Glock´s Dream Boy / Sir Donnerhall I. Long legged very modern type, showing impressive qualities in both canter and walk and with good balance in the trot.
6 year old Jovian by Apache / Tango. World Champion for Young Horses 2019. Yet again Andreas Helgstrand was in the saddle to present Jovian, unfortunately his headset did not function short after he started. No panic as Helgstrand was just handed over the microphone, and likely riding with the phone he just placed it under the helmet and showed Jovian. Enjoy the video here below.

First Vechta stallion show of the year was yesterday afternoon
A huge collection of top stallions were shown for the audience, as many of the spectators from around the world which just attempted the KWPN Stallion Show, and of course went to Vechta to add more exciting stallions at the list for the upcoming breeding season.
A lot of top stallions were shown from mostly Helgstrand Dressage and Schockemöhle, and a few others also impressed from the Videos captured during yesterday afternoon.
World Championship silver combination 2019 now 7 year old Revolution with Andreas Helgstrand showing top qualities - also for the future. Incredible angle for some piaffe work.
World Championship bronze winners and Nürnberger Burg-Pokal winner 2019, now 8 year old Total Hope OLD with Isabel Freese, also showing some impressive work for the future, with super expressive passage steps and a few one times.
3 year old Dynamic Dream by Glock´s Dream Boy / Sir Donnerhall I - first public presentation, also showing his super qualities under saddle.
3 year old Von und Zu (NRW Premium stallion) from Landgestüt Celle by Vitalis / Floriscount with his first public presentation - and he did definitely not disappoint.
Results decided before the finals
Stallion competition finals at Den Bosch are mostly like presentations classes, or should turn into a pure presentation class, as the results obviously are decided before going into the finals.
H2R favourites by this years 5 year old were Glock´s King Karim by Glock´s Toto Jr / Painted Black presented by Hans Peter Minderhoud and Kjento by Negro / Jazz presented by Charlotte Fry.
During the preliminary rounds this year Glock´s King Karim has shown some various performances, while Kjento has been on a steady strong line all the way. For the finals Kjento and Lottie Fry stood out, while Minderhoud was struggling a bit with the fully focus and balance from King Karim. No doubt the winner was Kjento, unfortunately not on the scoreboard.

Jameson RS2 by Blue Hors Zack / Negro with Marieke van der Putten is just developing every time they are presented, and they have been sovereign over the year and well deserved winners by the 6 year old.

Like also the 7 year old Imposantos by Wynton / Krack C with Bart Veeze has been in a league of his own for the stallion competitions during the autumn.
New concept for the KWPN licensing in 2020
Before this years licensing the lunging part was added as an extra day to the pre-selection at 21 January, but without consequences for the already selected stallions for the licensing, only as a part of the consideration when making further selection at the licensing. With this years experience going into the licensing, the lunging must for sure be part of the 2021 edition of the KWPN Stallion Show, as it is a very valuable tool in order to evaluate the balance, self carriage, elasticity and contact.
The “CHAMPION” was missing
6 Premium stallions were named, but the traditional excitement for the ranking at the final presentation was missing - no Champion named. Out of the 6 new Premium stallions, H2R picked 4 of them (already after the lunging) as they were showing obvious qualities.
314 by Bordeaux / Florencio (H2R)
342 by Desperado / Jazz (H2R)
362 by Dream Boy / United (H2R)
464 by Glock´s Toto Jr / Jazz
516 by Johnson / Negro
547 by Totilas / Krack C (H2R)
Another 13 stallions selected today - a total of 35 stallions invited for the performance test
