VIDEO - “Olympic Fever”
Let’s start the “Olympic Fever” with the BEST
When all the teams are on their way to Aachen for the quarantine before leaving for Tokyo we just need to get into the Olympic mood and the best way is to start with the BEST.
The strongest team for the Olympics
The announcement of the Spanish team for the Olympics has not been published yet from team trainer Rudolph Zeilinger, but a closer look into the latest results, current form and experience shows a clear picture of top 3 from the Grand Prix yesterday at Grote-Brogel in Belgium, with Beatrice Ferrer-Salat, Claudio Castilla Ruiz and Severo Jurado Lopez and then it may look like a reserve spot for either Jose Garcia Mena or Juan Matute jr.

H2R har fanget Joachim Thomsen til en lille update om turen indtil nu
“Turen herop var utrolig lang, første stop var travbanen i Stockholm hvor vi havde pause inden vi sejlede til Åbo i Finland. Selve sejlturen var frygtelig varm, så vi var nødt til at have blæsere osv tændt under det meste af turen, men heldigvis klarede alle danske heste den næsten 24 timers rejse super flot. Hestene har været friske fra vores første træningsdag heroppe og vi er kommet fint på plads. Vi har været heldige at få bokse indendørs, selvom det er lidt begrænset med plads og vi derfor har fået tackbokse udenfor i teltstalden. Vi hygger og har det sjovt sammen i vores lille team, og er gode til at hjælpe hinanden.
Vejret klager vi ikke over da termometeret siger omkring 27 grader. Fredag aften var der træning på opvisningsbanen, dog kun med 15 minutter til hver nation. Alle hestene er gået gennem vetcheck og vi er nu klar til hold Grand Prix klassen imorgen,” fortæller Joachim Thomsen.

VIDEOS - extra observation event for Danish young horses for World Championships in Verden

Due to the very tight schedule this year the planned observations dates 13 & 14 July at Vilhelmsborg unfortunately were at the same time as Falsterbo Horse Show and the selection commission were ready with extra dates this weekend for combinations or riders going to Falsterbo Horse Show.
It was a small group of horses but nevertheless some very interesting candidates.
From H2R point of view two very clear candidates:
6 year old Sweetnes by Blue Hors St. Schufro / Tailormade Lancelot ridden by Silje Bakken and bred by Lisbeth B. Andersen
And by the 7 year old candidates Atterupgaards Cooper by Charmeur / Gribaldi ridden by young Sara Aagaard Hyrm and bred by Stud Atterupgaard also showed a strong and high quality performance.
Candidates at start this weekend at Blue Hors:
Intermediaire I sejr til Anders Hoeck med Blue Hors Zwobber
Toppen af dagens Intermediaire I med god ridning og god kvalitet.
Lidt indtryk fra hver enkelt ekvipage:
UNO Day Sun - flyende tur i god balance med godt udtryk og god form, gode serier, mister balance i 2. pirouette.
Svalegårds Dear One - korrekt tur uden tekniske fejl, den samlede skridt bliver lidt spændt. Generelt virker kontakten lidt forholdt hele vejen.
Sullivan - flotte øgninger, spændt tilbagetræning, mangler lidt mere afspændthed i skridtturen, spænder i changementer, mangler lidt mere kontrol og balance i begge pirouetter.
LL Korsbjergs Domestic - overordnet billede savner mere løsgjorthed og smidighed.
Stensgaard Chrush - billedet er præget af en ofte meget stærk kontakt, og det kniber med at kunne komme rundt i en korrekt form i dag.
Blue Hors Zwobber - super flow i trav turen, fin parade med tilbagetrædning, god skridt tur, fine fremadgående serier, mister minimal fremadsøgning ind til den første pirouette, rigtig god kvalitet hele turen.
Baunehøjens Carpaccio - god travtur, momentvis lidt dyb i formen, lidt spændt tilbagetrædning, lidt kort i skridten ønskes mangler lidt mere afspændthed over ryggen, pirouetter med fin kontrol, god serier.
Fie H - godt flow og udtryk i travturen, lidt kort og spænder i skridten, lidt spændinger i galopturen, skal sætte sig mere i pirouetter og der indløber fejl i 2ere.
Blue Hors First Choice - snæver form i trav turen, rytter forsøger at justere under vejs med noget uro på hånden, god skridt tur, fejlridning glemmer øgning, god kvalitet i galopturen.
Mintebjergs Online - generelt mangler der mere balance og bæring i turen i dag.
Quintus - mangler lidt mere samling og kontrol, der indløber et par tekniske fejl i slutningen af turen.
Fabius - god power i traven men mangler generelt lidt mere kontrol pg bliver momentvis uens bagi, lidt kort i skridten, pirouetterne mangler mere forberedelse og kontrol, lidt spændte serier.
Søren Pedder - dejligt udtryk og power desværre momentvis lidt store øjne, spændt og kort skridt tur, tekniske spændingsudfordringer i galopturen.

VIDEO - So many 10´s for top 3 today at Kronberg
Bella Rose, Showtime and Dalera - team Germany without any discussion
Top qualities worth top scores but towards the Olympics the international judges also seems to be kind of extra positive as the 10´s sometimes are getting a bit to easy at the scoreboard.
For the first piaffe tour for Werth today this was not a clear 10 as Bella Rose started out a bit looking but after a few steps she was fully focused at the job. Christoph Umbach judge at C today was the only one just rewarding 2 x 10 for the transitions and also finishing at 82.500%. Also for extended walk Umbach was at the best level with a 6,0 as you don’t need to be an expert to see that the rhythm is far from clear and actually at a level more around 5,0. The one times today are just executed by the master herself as Bella Rose becomes quite tense but Werth manage without errors.
Showtime and Schneider were showing a strong test, their piaffe tours are not fully at the spot, like also their series are with some tensions today.
Dalera has to go to the toilet for the first half pass to the right and loosing the trot and forward search and after the extended canter the flying change are not totally clean, also their series are with tensions, but still manage to finish +81%.
Here you find the entire results with detailed scores.
