Just seven times Fry and Glamourdale scored a 9 today

Charlotte Fry is really showing her horses in super form each time she is entering the centerline, and today with another top performance with the still “green” Grand Prix stallion Glamourdale.

When watching the test today you just get the feeling that more 9´s were missing and also worth a couple of 10´s. The control and power combined with suppleness makes the outstanding overall picture. It is a pleasure to watch correct frame, steady contact and 100% “yes hat” all the way - this is dressage at it´s best.

Lorenzo back in the arena after nearly 3,5 years - placed 2nd today

Lorenzo made his name at the international top level together with Spanish international rider Severo Jurado Lopez and together they came 5th at Rio Olympics freestyle final in 2016.

Last time Lorenzo was at start with Severo was back in January 2017. After a short stay at Charlotte Jorst in USA he came back, and “disappeared” with an injury. Today the now 15 year old Lorenzo was back at international level together with Swedish Helgstrand Dressage Grand Prix rider Jeanna Högberg. They showed a very solid and strong performance and they suits each other really well and makes a nice over all picture.

With today’s performance they secured their first Olympic qualifier and looks like a valuable card for the Swedish team for the Olympics.

Yesterday both MSJ Freestyle and En Vogue became spooky and was spinning at the 2nd piaffe tour in the Grand Prix, and today both lost the balance and jumped into canter for the first extension, En Vogue in Grand Prix Special and MSJ Freestyle in the Grand Prix freestyle - very weird coincidences.

Huge start list for today’s international Grand Prix at Wellington, UK

Dujardin again with two strong performances and even though with a few glimpses she is still outstanding. Today with best performance and win together with Gio and MSJ Freestyle second. Into 2nd piaffe Freestyle moves her focus to outside the arena and she tries to spin around and also affected at the subsequent transition to canter. With Gio Dujardin showed a power test and at the end of the 1 times it was just about to “stay there” as Gio nearly lost the two final changes but Charlotte was just ahead of his intentions - nothing less than a world class rescue!

Carl Hester and En Vogue looked overall much more harmonious, for sure not the plan not just showing 13 one time temps.

Only British top rider not at start was Charlotte Fry based in The Netherlands. She already showed her horses with top placements at both Exloo and Hagen and will also participate at Compiegne.

Nogle af søndagens highlights fra landsstævnet i Frederiksværk

Berider Rune Willum var også på plads i Frederiksværk for at hjælpe nogle af sine elever i weekenden - Foto: H2R

Både vejret og stemningen var i top

Berider og daglig leder i Frederiksværk Rideklub Karin Nissen var super tilfreds med weekendens stævne. “Der var simpelthen så god stemning, alle var nærmest euforiske over at komme ud igen. Vi havde perfekt vejr og banen var helt super. Alle var rigtig gode til at overholde corona restriktionerne der var i forbindelse med afviklingen af stævnet. Om søndagen specielt synes jeg rytterne var tilbage i gamet, for dem som ikke har kunne ride internationalt var det jo nærmest første stævne i små 6 måneder, og det kunne man godt se de første dage, men alle kom godt igennem, og søndag var der virkelig rigtig meget god ridning, så det var skønt,” slutter Karin Nissen.

Søndagens klasser i Frederiksværk bød på flere highlights

MB2-A

Blue Hors Touch of Olympic L / Nanna Merrald -Dejligt flow og balance i trav turen, super skridt tur, skridt pirouetterne mangler lidt mere energi, det første changement efter kontragaloppen bliver med lidt samlede bagben. Dejlig billede og den lidt kort hals på Touch of Olympic får Nanna virkelig vist optimalt. 77,698%

Atterupgaards Cooper / Sara Hyrm - Dejlig hest med erfaren ung rytter, som under vejs i dag virker lidt grøn og der indløber lidt spændingsfejl. Masser kvalitet for fremtiden med 3 rigtig gode gangarter, flot model med udtryk. 71,777%. Ekvipagen slutter som nr. 3.

MA2-A

Atterupgaards Delorean / Selina Solberg Vittinghus - Trend efter travturen 77% (kunne sagtens have været +80%), god skridt tur, i galoppen indløber der desværre spændingsfejl, i bl.a. omstilling i traversade og serier.

Parret gentager deres sejr 73,421%

Bundgaard Byg

Küren bliver vundet af Sara Hyrm med Skovborgs Romadinov som leverede en flot kür, mens den samlede sejr gik til Nadja Sloth med Favour Gersdorf der lidt spændt under vejs specielt i galopturen i küren.

Grand Prix Special

Grand Prix klassen var med suveræn “træningssejr” til Cathrine Dufour med Vamos Amigos, mens Specialen gik til Quater Boy og Nanna Merrald.

Placeret som nr. 2 var det Joachim Thomsen med Aarø´s Ghandi som jo debuterede i Specialen og som jo blot gik sin 3. Grand Prix om lørdagen. “I går havde vi tre mega dyre fejl og jeg kunne også mærke på ham at det var lang tid siden han havde været ude, mens han i Specialen var med mig hele vejen og vi havde en rigtig fin debut,” fortæller Joachim Thomsen.

Aarøs Ghandi / Joachim Thomsen - Super parade, god diagonal I god balance med power, god traversade til venstre med fint flow og go, skarp op i passage ved C, good passage, power fri trav, kommer fint tilbage, godt flow traversade til højre, god overgang til passage C, god fri skridt kunne godt strække sig mere, god samlet skridt, fin første piaffe, gode overgange, 2 piaffe også flydende og gode bløde overgange, godt overgang til galop, gode traversade spændt changement, super flotte 2ere over hele diagonalen, super 1ere uphill og over diagonalen, god fri galop, mister galoppen lidt ind i første pirouette, fine ettere, lidt stort anlagt anden pirouette, god overgang til trav, flot øgning, god midterline, lidt fremadgående sidste piaffe, flot parade. 71,601%

Landsstævnet var med live streaming via Zibrasport Equest både lørdag og søndag, som giver en super mulighed for alle dem som ikke står på sidelinien, til også at kunne følge med.

CDI Wellington, Heckfield Great Britain starts tomorrow

The entries for CDI Wellington is with all British top combinations except Charlotte Fry.

Fiona Bigwood will make her international debut with Hawtins Delicato (former ridder by Carl Hester). Also Super Nova II with Spencer Wilton are ready.

And of course both Charlotte Dujardin with her two top horses MSJ Freestyle and Gio, and Carl Hester with En Vogue.

Huge entry list for CDI3 at Wellington, UK:

Atterupgaards Delorean og Selina Vittinghus vinder af MA1 til landsstævnet i Frederiksværk

Smuk kulisse til landsstævnet i Frederiksværk i nærmest forårsagtigt vejr, som gav ryttere og heste super betingelser til første udendørs landsstævne efter corona nedlukningen.

Atterupgaards Delorean shinede sammen med Selina i deres MA1 tur i dag. Bemærkelsesværdig skøn og blød kontakt hele vejen i en flot form.

Indridningsparade bliver lidt ubalanceret, super udtryk i trav turen med flotte øgninger, versaler og traversader i flot balance, op ad bakke og med skønt sving - generelt øvelser som mest af alt lignede 9-taller. I den anden volte springer Delorean lige i galop men Selina fanger hende super hurtigt og får lavet øvelsen færdig, god skridt tur, hvor den frie skridt er lidt fedtet bedømt med 7 - 7 - 6,5. En øvelser hvor Delorean lægger sig flot til på tøjlen strækker sig og går afspændt med god overtrædning. Den første galop pirouette mangler lidt mere balance og samling mens den anden bliver med fin kvalitet. Serierne er gode hvor man godt kunne ønske sig den sidste afspændthed.

Super udtryksfuldt sidebillede med masser kvalitet for fremtiden.

Elvive and Lyndal Oatley - photo @clipmyhorse

International debut victory

Such a please to watch this outstanding mare Elvive by Tuschinski / Blue Hors Don Schufro together with Australian Lyndal Oatley.

This mare is very special to Lyndal, and watching them from the “side line” is also very special. Lovely balanced and supple all the way, and it looks a bit like all the exercises are executed in slow motion, not that any of the movements are slow at all but so much harmony and balance even though with some tiny issues today.

Super exciting young horse for Dutch Thamar Zweista with her just 8 year old impressive grey stallion Hexagon´s Ich Weiss by Rubiquil / Negro. No weaknesses, lot of expression and mechanic in the movements. They already made their debut back in February in Le Mans.

Unfortunately Patrik Kittel was eliminated together with his top horse Well Done de la Roche, as judge at C stopped them after final halt and apparently found traces of blood.
