VIDEOS - 5 KWPN Premium stallions in 2021

Only 5 premium stallions named at KWPN licensing 2021

The clear “Champion stallion” from H2R point of view was nr. 426 by Geniaal / Hotline. He was one of three stallions from the lunging part which stood out - a real stallion type showing power and balance with sharp hindlegs with power from first step.

The two other top stallions from the lunging were 417 by Franklin / Zack (not approved) and 507 by Jerveaux / Dream Boy (approved).

Here below you will find videos of the Premium stallions by the lunging. Click at the photo to watch the lunging.

Helgstrand Dressage stallion presentations online February 19th

NEWS AT HELGSTRAND DRESSAGE 3 FEB 2021

We had indeed looked forward to inviting you all to the stallion shows here in Denmark and abroad during the spring, to really get the new breeding season going, but unfortunately, the situation does not look all too bright. Instead, we have decorated the indoor arena, just as we do when hosting the stallions shows and is preparing to film the whole collection of stallions 2021, so that you will get the chance to experience both the new stallions, but also get an update on the older stallions, who have had a fantastic development.

You can look forward to experiencing the stallion collection 2021 already Friday the 19th of February at 14:00, where our website will be updated with the new presentation videos of the stallions.

However, we are still working on hosting our live stallion shows during the spring, both at Helgstrand Germany in Syke and in Denmark. However, due to the corona pandemic, the situation is still uncertain. We know how much the live presentation of the stallions means to the breeders, and therefore we will do everything to complete our stallion shows if the situation allows it.

Last year’s presentations videos of the stallions were very popular, and we therefore knew that we should repeat the success, which we announced at the end of 2020. The thousands of views around the world has led many new breeders to Helgstrand and has also functioned as an important tool for our loyal breeders. We have experienced that many breeders find the comments from Andreas, about which mares that is suitable for each stallion, very useful. Therefore, you can not only look forward to this year’s stallion collection but also hear the good advice Andreas shares.

This year we have again added several Champion and Premium stallions to the collection, like Forever Love by Fair Game/Destano, who was selected as Premium Stallion at the Westfalen Licensing, and the Oldenburg Premium Stallion Fortunate by Foundation/Quaterback, who is an ultra-modern stallion and can, with his movements and type, bring the breeding a step further. Very importantly we must not forget the 4 Premium Stallions from Hannover; Zoom In by Zoom/Waterland, Salissimo by Secret/Bellisimo M, Bonjour by Bon Coeur/Fürst Nymphenburg and Be Sure by Benicio/Scuderia.

Unfortunately, there is not a long list of results from 2020, but luckily our stallions participated at the prestigious German Bundeschampionate, where Fynch Hatton (Formel Eins/Sir Donnerhall I), Global Player (Kastel's Grand Galaxy Win/Don Schufro) and Rockabye S (Revolution/Belstaff) achieved amazing results. Even though many shows where cancelled, we are still very proud that our stallions qualified to both danish and foreign Championships and also to the recognized Young Horse World Championship. These breeding stallions have really developed, and we look forward to show Revolution (Rockey Lee/Rouletto), Jovian (Apache/Tango), Springbank II VH (Skovens Rafael/De Niro), Franklin (Ampére/Ferro), just like we look forward to show the upcoming stars such as So Perfect (Sezuan/Sir Donnerhall I), My Vitality (Vivaldi/D-Day), Iron (Asgard’s Ibiza/Hohenstein) and the newly arrived Hesselhøj Downtown (Hesselhøj Donkey Boy/Zack).

Put a mark in the calendar Friday, February 19th and visit Helgstrand’s website to see the new stallion presentation!

DSP top price stallion sold for 630.000 euro will be available via Böckmann Pferde

Drama by DSP online auction as the server crashed after just finishing one deal

Very unfortunate as the DSP auction stopped Thursday evening when huge activity caused that the server suddenly went down and the auction stopped. Therefore the auction was resumed Saturday with unchanged bidding and full activity again from the buyers.

Until today the future for the DSP champion stallion by Benicio / Don Diamond has been unknown. DSP writes today at Facebook that Best Future will be available via Böckmann Pferde and will be educated by Dressurstall Schöffner in Löningen, but the new ownership is still unknown.

2nd most expensive was the super well moving stallion by Asgard´s Ibiza / Sunny-Boy sold for 300.000 euro to Helgstrand Dressage, and the only deal finished before the server went down Thursday.

Premium stallion for Gestüt Pallerhaff

Gestüt Pallerhaff in Luxemburg also aquired a super well moving Premium stallion, no 39 by Diamond Hit / Johnson for 80.000 euro. Both owner of Gestüt Pallerhaff Jens Thorsen and rider Kristine Möller are very excited about their new top quality stallion. The stallion will be available for the breeders, but it is not yet decided from which stallion station he will be available.

Here you find the entire auction results.

Mens vi venter på de første føl - Stutteri Vilard og Serupgård Horse Breeding

Årets hoppeføl 2019 Vilard's Frina e. Franklin / Sandro Hit - foto: Lonnie Nordstedt, Equine Photo.

Stutteri Vilard beliggende i Ishøj havde i 2019 årets hoppeføl i Dansk Varmblod, nu venter de samme kombination, og drømmer naturligvis om samme super kvalitet.

“Vi venter to føl i 2021, men først i slutningen af maj. Der er ikke en af de to vi glæder os mest til, men ønsker blot to raske føl. Først og fremmest venter vi dog en helsøskende til årets hoppeføl i 2019, en Franklin / Don Romantic og håber selvfølgelig på at lave en med samme kvaliteter. Derudover venter vi en D'Avie / Sandro Hit, på Don Schufros hoppestamme.”

“Med hensyn til hingstevalget i 2021, så er vi, ganske atypisk, slet ikke kommet i gang med overvejelserne endnu, men vi har heldigvis også flere måneder til hopperne foler. Vi forventer at ifole 2-3 hopper.”

3 års hoppe e. Sezuan / Sandro Hit - privat foto.

“Vi er i gang med at tilride en sezuan-hoppe efter Sandro Hit hoppe, og er meget tilfreds så langt. Så en D'avie på hende skal nok blive godt. Nu ser vi frem til hun skal kåres. Det er et par år siden at vi sidst har haft en hoppe til kåring”, fortæller Lars Arndt

Serupgårds Sangria e. Blue Hors Romanov / Idocus / Michellino

Hos Serupgård ventes føl nr. 17 efter elitehoppen ERDH Samantha

“Hingsten Iron er far til føl nr. 17 på vores 22-årige elitehoppe ERDH Samantha født 1999 efter Michellino/Pion. Hun er fit for fight og har passet sine føl perfekt, så når hun forhåbentlig leverer endnu et velskabt føl først på sommeren, og så er det tid for et velfortjent otium sammen med resten af flokken her hos os. Hun har givet os så mange dejlige afkom og oplevelser i årenes løb, så det er selvfølgelig en lidt underlig fornemmelse at det nu er hendes sidste føl, men vi føler os priviligeret som avlere at have taget imod 16 føl og nu snart det 17. og sidste fra Samantha.”

“BRDH Serupgaards Sangria efter Romanov/Idocus/Michellino er drægtig med Blue Hors Livius, mens DS Daiquiri efter Jazz/Rotspon/Chablis venter Confess Color.”

Serupgårds Sauternes efter Asgard´s Ibiza/Blue Hors Romavov/ Idocus - privat foto.

“Planen for 2021 er lige nu at vi for første gang siden 1997 ikke vil i fole nogle hopper i år. Alle 3 hopper foler ret sent, og vi har derfor valgt at spring over, også selvom vi egentlig har en super spændende og velgående 3 års hoppe efter Ibiza/Romanov/Idocus som vi gerne vil have i folet.”

“Vi forsøger at holde økonomien omkring vores hestehold fornuftig, og med sene i folinger synes vi risikoen for at hopperne løber om, eller slet ikke kommer i fol, er for stor i forhold til de omkostninger der er forbundet med i folingerne. Derudover har vi også et par gode ungheste som vi vil have tilredet og solgt, og så er vi klar til 2022 sæsonen med i foling i foråret,” fortæller Heidi Bickham.

Næste “Mens vi venter på de første føl” er med Stutteri Worre.

VIDEO - Peters and Suppenkasper winner of CDI4 Grand Prix and debut for Tinne Vilhelmson Silfvén with Devanto in CDI3 Grand Prix

Strong technical performance from Steffen Peters with Suppenkasper in today’s CDI4 Grand Prix, even though the scores seemed very positive for the passage tours as they were mostly lacking more clear fluency.

For Kathrine Bateson Chandler and Alcazar some tensions crept in during the test, and unfortunately the trot half passes were lacking more forward flow and carriage.

Charlotte Jorst and Nintendo showed a good start, unfortunately error by the one times.

Debut for Tinne Vilhelmson Silfvën with Devanto in CDI3 Grand Prix

Tinne has brought her new Grand Prix horse Devanto, as she recently purchased from Germany Juliane Brunkhorst. They show a good trot tour, nice piaffe and passage tours with a bit forward flow but nice timing, bit limited walk tour, for the canter tour they still need more security together, as Tinne seems to rely a bit to much on Devanto and some small changes creeping in for the zigzag, and the same for the two times, while they lost the rhythm and balance for the one times.

From today with live stream CDI3 small tour and big tour and CDI4 big tour at Wellington, Florida
