VIDEO - 9 year old Destacado FRH with Matthias Alexander Rath winner of Grand Prix Special today at Mannheim

Just 9 year old HANN stallion Destacado FRH winner of today´s CDI4 Grand Prix Special in Mannheim

Lovely expressive supple test. Nice frame and with lots of natural go and obedience - a pleasure to watch. The critical eyes want Destacado to be more closed from behind, but with the package of three supple super gaits and the right attitude and willingness, there is absolutely no need to try to find the weak points.

At the prize giving Destacado was absolutely stunning - totally relaxed and enjoying the atmosphere.

Here you find the detailed results.

VIDEO - Total Hope OLD and Isabel Freese winner of international Grand Prix debut at Mannheim

Great international debut

10 year old Total Hope OLD with Norwegian rider Isabel Freese took yesterday´s CDI4 Grand Prix victory with impressive 75,957%. Lots of quality throughout the entire test, where Isabel shows a very obedient, powerful and supple Total Hope. It is nice to watch a debut with such quality and surplus and without any moments of tensions or insecurity, just a small unbalanced moment for the 2nd piaffe. Freese is able to “ask” during the test where she has him nicely in front of her aides and Total Hope is never in doubt about the “questions”.

Destacado FRH only 9 year old with Mathias Alexander Rath. Another young stallion with the “yes” hat. Lovely “I want to work” attitude all the way, lot of suppleness and quality, still some moments where the strength is missing a bit. Tension for halt with rein back, bit swinging back at begin of 2 times and 1st pirouette lacking more clear canter rhythm.

A closer look into the detailed scoring for Isabell Werth with Superb, where German top judge Katrina Wüst with 71,527%. Wüst is really using the scale throughout the test which also give the clear picture of the test 🙌

VIDEO - Dinja van Liere and Hermes Dutch champions 2022

The big tour championship became really exciting for the Grand Prix yesterday, as Emmelie Scholtens was back with KWPN stallion Desperado. They haven´t been showing since Aachen last year due to an injury for Desperado and a baby break for Emmelie. They showed a strong Grand Prix and brought themself into the top of the field just in front of Hermes and Dinja van Liere. And Emmelie also showed her young stallion Indian Rock with a great performance in the Grand Prix and really interesting for the future.

As Desperado was Emmelie´s obvious first horse for the championships, Indian Rock was ready for the small final (Grand Prix Special), but unfortunately Desperado was not fit to compete for today´s Grand Prix freestyle. A very unfortunate situation for Emmelie and the Dutch team, as it might be a goodbye for the World Championships in Herning in August.

The champion 2022 was well deserved Hermes and Dinja. They showed a strong freestyle and with 4,5% ahead for Thamar Zweista with Hexagon´s Ich Weiss, and with Danish Warmblood Tørveslettens Titanium and Marieke van der Putten on bronze position. Must be first time ever with a Danish Warmblood at the podium at the Dutch Championships.

  1. Dinja van Liere (Uden) – Hermès (v. Easy Game), 77,956%-83,155% 161,111

  2. Thamar Zweistra (Schore) - Hexagon's Ich Weiss (v. Rubiquil), 73,304%-78,670% 151,974

  3. Marieke van der Putten (Apeldoorn) - Tørveslettens Titanium RS2 (v. Totilas), 73,978%-77,950% 151,928

ZZ-zwaar (small tour) championship with super qualities

Interesting to watch the up-coming horses with top riders. Winner became Bart Veeze with Kyton by Ferguson.

But runner up was Marieke van der Putten with a very interesting son of Glamourdale, Kuvasz RS2 (dam sire De Niro), a super nice truly copy of Glamourdale with lots of power, expression and qualities. Only the half pirouettes in canter is lacing bit more balance.

Bronze medal for Renate van Uytert with Johnny Deep.

Diederik van Silfhout with the super nice son of Dante Weltino, Dante U.S. out of same dam line as Total US. Today placed 2nd, but just outside the podium for the total score.

Høj kvalitet i toppen af dagens Grand Prix klasse i Frederiksværk

Frederiksværk kunne igen i år byde på smukt vejr i en smuk kulisse, til dagens Grand Prix klasse, hvor der var 18 ekvipager var klar til start.

Hvis ikke man havde taget turen til Frederiksværk, kunne man følge med via livestream på Zibrasport Equest.

Dagens vinder blev Anna Zibrandtsen med den 11 årige vallak Quel Filou OLD. Parret viste en flot tur uden tekniske fejl. Quel Filou er virkelig en wauw hest med masser udstråling, og en hest man tænker “hvad er det for en?” når den kommer rundt om banen.

Flot form og udtryk hele vejen, eksplosive fri trav tur men stadig i flot balance og masser frihed. Alle 3 gangarter med kvalitet, god passage mens der stadig mangler lidt mere sikkerhed i piaffeturene og de tilhørende overgange.

Michael Søgaard har igen produceret en Grand Prix hest, denne gang den smukke 12-årige Fürstenball søn Fredensdals Fountain avlet af Linda Falensteen og Martin Strande. Det er en hest som passer super flot til Michael, og man mindes sidst Michael succesfuldt red skimlen Faisal. Power og udtryk hele vejen, flotte vinkler i passage og piaffe, super flotte gennemsprungne serier, og heller ikke nogen hverken øvelsesmæssige eller kvalitetsmæssige svagheder.

Joachim Thomsen tager sig flot af to placeringer i dagens Grand Prix, som nr. 3 med Aarøe´s Ghandi og nr. 5 med Vichy Pax, begge heste velforberedte og med Vichy som jo stadig er helt grøn på Grand Prix niveauet men viser rigtig fine kvaliteter.

Blue Hors sælger Zatchmo

Nanna Merrald - foto: H2R

Nanna Merrald har gjort det nærmest umulige - hun har gang på gang formået at sætte sig i sadlen på allerede uddannede og succesfulde heste på Blue Hors, og fået det optimale ud af samarbejdet med hver enkelt hest. I rækken af heste er naturligvis også den 13-årige Blue Hors Zatchmo, hvor det igen er blevet til et succesfuldt partnerskab.

Parret debuterede internationalt sammen tilbage i februar i Le Mans med 2 sejre til +75% og igen succesfulde i Herning i marts med +75 i den 5-stjernede tur.

Lige nu har Nanna to heste til rådighed frem mod VM, 17-årige Atterupgaards Orthilia og 18-årige Blue Hors Zack, derudover har hun jo både Blue Hors Don Olymbrio og Blue Hors St. Schufro som desværre pt. ikke ser ud til at være aktuelle på konkurrencebanerne.

Salget af Blue Hors Zatchmo kommer på et tidspunkt med VM på hjemmebane i august, hvor selv Isabell Werth har udråbt danskerne til "dem der skal slåes".

Hvis man kigger lidt længere frem til OL i Paris om 2 år, så ville Blue Hors Zatchmo til den tid være 15 år, og stadig en uhyre vigtig og værdifuld hest for både det danske team og for Nanna.

Nanna har naturligvis flere talentfulde heste på vej mod den store sport, men desværre nu uden Zatchmo til at holde hende seriøst inde i gamet efter Orthilia og Zack, som formodentlig begge takker af i topsporten indenfor en overskuelig tid.

Set fra et sportsligt synspunkt er det super ærgerligt, at Blue Hors vælger at sælge en oplagt team hest netop nu.

Hesten er opdrættet af Steen Bo Larsen. Den dobbelte UVM-verdensmester Jovian får ligeledes international debut i stor tur med Andreas Helgstrand sammen med guldmedaljehoppen Quensparks Wendy (Sezuan/Blue Hors Soprano) opdrættet af Kurt Gosmer.

Flot sejr til UNO Day Sun med Kenneth Damgaard til det internationale stævne i Norge i dag

Kenneth og UNO Day Sun stod øverst i dagens CDI3 Prix St. Georg i Norge

Parret får ikke den allerbedste start da der indløber en taktfejl i den første øgning, men derfra leverer de en skarp tur i flot balance og uden tekniske fejl. Ekvipagen blev belønnet med 71,941%.

Placeret som nr. 2 lige efter er det Carl Henin med Dante Weltino sønnen Davalerian. Parret starter ud i den første øgning med nogle spændinger ud af hjørnet, men udover den frie skridt som er ubalanceret viser ekvipagen en fin og skarp tur.

Norske Cathrine Rasmussen blev placeret som nr. 3 med hendes hjemmeavlede hoppe Kleppenhus Jazzoline. Det var parrets internationale debut, og de viste en velbalanceret tur, hvor kun den frie trav var lidt mat og den 2. skridt pirouette som ikke lykkedes så godt. Flotte halvpirouetter og flotte gennemsprungne serier.

Se resultatet af hele klassen her.

VIDEO - Vogue by Vitalis / Fidertanz winner of 2-days stallion performance test with 9,33

3 year old

Again the pilot project proved itself. Very nice way of testing the young stallions were they all look very comfortable (of course more or less fresh), but this way of testing gives a really good picture of each stallion.

Vogue stood out for the 2 days stallion performance test yesterday and today at Münster-Handorf. Light and easy, lovely forehand, nice moving over the back, nice contact, uphill frame and three really good gaits. Nicely presented by Leonie Richter and looked fresh and supple body wise. With a total score of 9,33 Vogue well deserved won the testing for the 3 year old.

2nd placed was Escaneno by Escamillo / Veneno with a total score of 9,05 - light and easy and very rideable.

4 year old

From both yesterday and today Imperial MT by Asgard´s Ibiza / Davignon I showed himself very nicely. Supple rideable and obedient - winner with a total score of 8,72.

2nd placed with quite high score was Zumba by Zoom / Rocky Lee with 8,70.

Secret Lover and Fabiano from Van Olst Horses started their KWPN 35-days stallion performance test

Secret Lover by Secret / Fürstenball

KWPN spring performance test

Yesterday the KWPN stallions were inspected at the first day of the 35-days performance test.

From Van Olst Horses both stallions selected at the KWPN licensing are ready for testing. Fabiano by For Romance I / Diamond Hit and Secret Lover by Secret/Fürstenball who already did his 2-days performance test in Germany with a total score of 8,14. At the German performance test he showed himself as a very rideable and well balanced stallion with three really good gaits.

Van Olst Horses also presents the 3-year old stallion OO Grolloo by Glamourdale / Uptown for the performance test as part of optional testing.

4 year old

Unfortunately is the 4 year old stallion Next Level not among the participants approved for starting their 21-days performance test 9 May. Next Level withdrew from the autumn test last year.

Do you need to be German to win the freestyle in Hagen?

From watching the top of yesterday evenings CDI4* Grand Prix freestyle, Dinja van Liere with Hermés showed a very well balanced, light and easy test, always with a nice steady light contact. Lovely closed frame supple over the back from active hindlegs. Unfortunately an error for the 1 times and not with a joker line. Clear winner from H2R point of view again for the freestyle. Only judge at E, Germany´s Henning Lehrmann saw Dinja and Hermés as winners.

Winner Frederic Wandres with Duke of Britain in the judges top spot light. Good flow and go all the way, but for more moments Duke need some more clear push and power from behind. An error creeping into the two times but manage successfully to repeat at the joker line.

Placed 3rd again Danish Daniel Bachmann Andersen with Danish Warmblood 10 year old Marshall-Bell. Showing power and more relaxation in the body with lots of highlights and just two smaller issues during their test. For sure Daniel and Marshall has brought themselves into the Danish team for World Championships at home soil later this year.

Strong performance from Spains Jose Antonio Garcia Mena with his championship mare Divina Royal. Super flow and go without major issues. Effortless performance.

Unfortunately British Lottie Fry is struggling with her long time partner Dark Legend to relax in the arena also for yesterday´s freestyle.

Here you find the entire results.
