Less than 3 days to go - 3 FOCUS foals for Danish Warmblood Online Auction
Cantering like a World Champion
The very rideable KWPN stallion Glamourdale, World Champion for Young Horses as 7 year and top scores at small tour level as 8 year in Aachen, now ready for Grand Prix under British Charlotte Fry has stamped this boy with his outstanding canter, and well moving in both trot and walk. Interesting with another top foal producer Franklin as dam sire which seems to be a very good cross with Glamourdale.
Franklin power
Franklin will again make his entry for this auction with another powerful offspring. The way this colt can push himself up from behind will for sure be valuable when performing the dressage arena later.
Performance pedigree
Without exception Vitalis is also represented by this exclusively selected collection, and combined with Grand Prix stallion Apache and further out the pedigree with valuable Sir Donnerhall I. This filly brings very nice format combined with 3 expressive gaits - a future very interesting filly for both sport and breeding.
Remember to sign up for online bid starting June 25th at 5 pm and with final bids at June 28th at 3 pm.
Streaming will be live at Clipmyhorse.tv.
Tre debut ture i toppen af dagens "procentklasse" i Karlslunde
Procentklasser er kommet for at blive
Til distriktsstævnerne har rytterne rig mulighed for at øve sig på de sværeste niveauer, og det giver selvfølgelig nogle spændende klasser med mange forskellige ekvipager som prøver kræfter med ex. Svær Intermediaire, Intermediaire II og Grand Prix.
Speciel top 3 i dag
Tre rutinerede ryttere, Anne Troensegaard, Joachim Thomsen og Selina Vittinghus var alle på “ukendt” grund med deres heste idag.
Dagens vinder med 72,632% Anne Troensegaard med verdens bedste Traki, som Anne kalder den 10-årige vallak Kipling TSF e. Hofrat / Hohenstein debuterede i Intermediaire A idag. Om turen siger Anne “Han var virkelig fin og afslappet på banen. Han mangler stadig styrke til passage turene, men det kommer. Jeg er så glad for min lille Traki”, fortæller Anne.
Dagens nr. to var den 10-årige hoppe Bonnaquiqui e. Bonifatius / Rotspon med Joachim Thomsen I sadlen. Det var ikke Grand Prix debut til Bonnaquiqui, da hun havde gået turen tidligere med Rune Willum, men sammen med Joachim Thomsen var det debut, og samtidig også deres første start nogensinde sammen. “Turen gik ok, men vi havde alt for mange små fejl undervejs. Det var tydeligt at mærke at det var lang tid siden hun havde været til start, så hun var noget ukoncentreret under vejs. Vores træning hjemme inden starten i dag har været super god, så nu skal vi bare have det med på banen, og lige nu tænker jeg vi er klar til start igen i næste weekend for at få koncentrationen tilbage på rette spor”, fortæller Joachim Thomsen som sluttede som nr. 2 med 68,900%.
Første uplacerede var Stutteri Atterupgaard rytter Selina Vittinghus med den 10-årige hoppe Atterupgaards Ophelia e. Belissimo M / Gribaldi. Det var parrets debut i Intermediaire II og første store skridt på vej mod målet Grand Prix. Efter turen fortæller Selina: “Vi havde ingen øvelsesmæssige fejl, men kunne godt mærke jeg ikke havde hende helt hvor jeg gerne ville have hende i mine piaffe ture, da hun er i brunst. Og under vejs med lidt spændinger der går ud over form og kontakt, men ellers er jeg rigtig godt tilfreds med vores debut,” siger Selina. Parret fik 68,816%

VIDEO - Another exclusive ticket for Isabel Freese for Nürnberger Burg-Pokal final - this time with HANN stallion Fürsten-Look
Fürsten-Look and Isabel Freese - photo credit: H2R
Today Isabel Freese and 9 year old HANN stallion Fürsten-Look ones again showed their strenght and won the 1st qualifier for Nürnberger Burg-Pokal final in Herbergen, Essen today with 74,585%.
Even more sharp today over all, super flow and power from letter to letter in a very nice harmony all the way. They really suit each other, as Freese obvious enjoy the way of attacking each exercise when she has a horse like Fürsten-Look, as he just plays along all the way.
Today the judges totally agreed about the winner!
In general the performances today were shown with more quality than for the “warm-up” test.
Australian Simone Pearce have had a very busy weekend so far with nearly starts in all classes on “home soil” at Sprehe, the host of the event this weekend. For the Nürnberger Burg-Pokal she brought another black well moving stallion Montevideo by Millennium / Sancisco, a pretty short partnership, but very well presented by Simone, and most of all she managed to improve her ride from yesterday, with among other much better timing for the transitions from halt to trot. They finish as no 5 in today’s test.
Here you find the entire results.
Enjoy the winner combination here below:
Patrik Kittel takes both 1st and 2nd place today at national German event in Herbergen
32 starters in today’s national Inter II at Herbergen, Essen
The huge field was also counting international top riders like Isabell Werth, Patrik Kittel, Therese Nilshagen, Fabienne Müller-Lütkemeier and Annabel Balkenhol.
Kittel was at start with two horses the 13 year old stallion Rocky Lee (sire of World Champion Revolution) and 9 year old 9 year old Amplemento by Ampere.
Smooth and effortless tests
It was competition debut together with Rocky Lee, and they showed an easy test without any technical issues, the passage and piaffe tours were just lacking a bit more power and expression.
With the young Amplemento Kittel made his debut back in December at national event in Ankum with victory in both Inter I and Inter II, and today they just succeeded with another winning performance. Super smooth and relaxed test, in a super steady round and beautiful uphill frame all the way. No exercise wise difficulties, and all the way with smooth nice overview for the young GP horse.
Werth and Nilshagen
Both Werth and Nilshagen had some challenges today. Werth was at start with Fairmont 11 year old gelding, which seemed not 100% balanced all the way and missing a bit more clear stable contact. Nilshagen was at start with the highly frequented stallion For Romance OLD, and they showed a bit conservative test, and For Romance lacking a bit more clear accept of the contact, but without any technical issues.
Here you find the full results.

Nürnberger Burg-Pokal, a bit like Isabel Freese´s competition
Isabel Freese and the 9 year old HANN stallion Fürsten-Look by Fürstenball / Londonderry, bred by Johannes Sabel and co-owned by HP Horses and Schockemöhle showed a strong winner test today. Freese was also at start with the 8 year old OLD stallion Top Gear by Totilas / Don Frederico, owned by Schockemöhle. They were placed 3rd.
Both test were very accurate and powerful performed, and it is obvious that Isabel Freese with her great experience is able to collected valuable points all the way. Fürsten-Look is a stallion with 3 huge supple paces, and it is kind of challenge to keep it all together, but Freese shows him with super timing and power all the way, she clearly knows where to give and where to take. Lovely frame, super power for extensions, supple half passes, very good walk tour, unfortunately Fürsten-Look lost the balance and rhythm for the 2nd walk pirouette, and showed some tensions for the rein back at the final centerline. Very nice performed canter pirouettes where Fürsten-Look shows huge ability to collected and sit, and also very nice series.
They definitely look like the ones to beat for the final qualification Friday evening, even though there was huge judging disagreement today.
Freese has become kind of Mrs. Nürnberger Burg-Pokal, as she is previous winner with both Vitalis in 2016 and last year with Total Hope OLD, both stallions also co-owned by HP Horses and Schockemöhle.
Here you find the full results from today.
Helgstrand and Zibrasport Equest in a new partnership
PRESS RELEASE AT HELGSTRAND DRESSAGE

The community that live streams from some of the largest equestrian events and creates inspiring video content, articles and lots more is in enormous development. The ambition of the partnership is to create new digital solutions to the equestrian world and new ways to engage the community and then of course the opportunity to invite people behind the scenes in one of the world’s leading equestrian companies – Helgstrand.
Up close in the equestrian world
Zibrasport Equest has been streaming equestrian events in Denmark since 2016 and in December 2019 the company expanded to become an equestrian community – zibrasportequest.com. The ambition is to create a community with a broad variety of relevant content that gives the equestrian world the opportunity to engage themselves and become inspired to even more engagement in their sport. The opportunity to come closer and think in new ways are also part of the ambitions that Helgstrand has for the future.
- We have been ambitious from the start and has created an internationally leading company in the equestrian world. To secure our ongoing growth, we have a strong wish to become more visible and create more openness about our company and the equestrian world in general and therefore we have chosen to invest in Zibrasport.

That is the philosophy of Zibrasport Equest, where you already at this stage can find numerous videos from the largest events, get closer to the leading profiles and riders and find inspiration and be fascinated from the variety of the equestrian sport. The community has an ongoing development and believes that the best development is created together with the users.
- A community is created by both the users themselves and their engagement and from the editorial content. We are constantly thinking out of the box and are not afraid to explore new and creative ways. Therefore, it is also a very good reason that we are teaming up with an innovative partner such as Helgstrand to create the worlds best and most innovative equestrian community. We share the ambition to create a healthy company and the passion to create something that strengthen and develop the equestrian sport. In fact, we are already in the middle of creating our next digital solution together with Helgstrand, says Niels Zibrandtsen, the chairman and owner of Zibrasport.

Helgstrand shares the ambition to create value for the equestrian sport and find new collaborations to develop new and innovative solutions and therefore we believe that together we can create a strong and engaging community. It is also fantastic that we can invite the users into the world of Helgstrand because we know that the interest is enormous, says Rikke Højgaard, editor in chief at Zibrasport Equest.
