Which stallion is a sport horse producer? The 2025 horse for dressage is for sure different from what clients/riders were asking for in ex 2020.
Are we looking for the individual stallion or do we have to focus even more on the dam line?

On Saturday, December 28, at 10:30 AM, the FEI Dressage World Cup kicks off with the Grand Prix, followed by the Freestyle on Sunday, December 29, at 10:45 AM. The line-up is stronger than ever, featuring international stars and beloved Belgian riders. According to Jeroen Van Lent, responsible for dressage at Mechelen, this is “the best line-up in years.” He adds: “The Netherlands is bringing an incredibly strong team, including three former winners of the FEI Dressage World Cup in Mechelen. Fans are also looking forward to stars like Nanna Skodborg Merrald, Bianca Nowag-Aulenbrock, and Dorothee Schneider. Our Belgian riders make it extra special: Jorinde Verwimp is back after some time away, Domien Michiels returns after an injury, and Larissa Pauluis is riding for a top position this year. We also shouldn’t forget Isabel Cool and newcomer Justin Verboomen, who have shown great form in recent competitions.”

Hvis man i forvejen ikke er 100% hjemme i DRF´s reglementer, kan det være en stor mundfuld at forsøge at tygge sig igennem hver enkelt punkt, men ikke desdo mindre alligvel vigtigt.
For fælles bestemmelserne er det tydeliggjort med markering af ændringer - LINK til opdaterede fælles bestemmelser.
Et kig på det nye dressur reglement gældende fra 1. januar 2025, indeholder bl.a. et nyt punkt:
PISK: Pisk må udelukkende benyttes til at touchere hesten med, og aldrig som straf. Det er aldrig tilladt at anvende pisk fra jorden.-
LINK til opdateret DRESSUR reglement med tydelige rettelser.
Det er fra 1. januar 2025 ikke længere tilladt at starte en 8 års hest i sværhedsgrad 8. Mindste alder i sværhedsgrad 8 er nu 9 år. (Her er Inter II nu også en del af sværhedsgrad 8)
Thank you for following and supporting H2R during the years.

Hvordan kommer vi godt fra start med vores heste?
Vigtigheden af at kunne lave små delmål, både for hesten, men også os selv, så vi i sidste ende når helt i mål i træningen af den unge hest.
Hvad er den mest rigtige måde? Hvilke værktøjer er de bedste?
Oplev hvordan Anne Søndergaard griber tingene an fra første møde med den unge hest, eller hesten som ikke har haft den bedste start på livet som kommende ridehest.
Der bliver rig mulighed for at stille spørgsmål under vejs, med måske de udfordringer du lige nu står med sammen med din unghest.
Hvad var OL?
“OL var en virkelig speciel størrelse, det var noget helt helt anderledes, på den fede måde. Der er mange der har sagt når du kommer til OL første gang bliver du overvældet. Du kan også blive overvældet negativt, for der er så meget presse på, og der er så meget normal presse også, der er helt andet tryk på. Så du er ikke bare i konkurrence for dig selv, men du er i konkurrence sammen med resten af Danmark - FOR DANMARK.
Det gav bare mig noget mere motivation, det gav mig så meget blod på tanden, så meget go og stemning og holdspirit - vi havde hele pakken. Det hjalp selvfølgelig også at jeg havde to med som havde prøvet det, altså Cathrine flere gange og Nanna en gang, det var virkelig fedt at være med de to afsted, de er mega seje. Vi er rigtig gode sammen, og spiller hinanden vildt gode på alle punkter.”
The wonderful venue at London’s ExCeL centre was transformed into a Christmas wonderland, extending to the crowd’s lively enthusiasm. Spectators clapped along to the music during the final lines of many routines, and Fry’s home performance alongside Glamourdale (owned by the athlete and Van Olst Horses) drew the loudest cheers. “I cannot thank the audience enough for their support,” Fry said. “Not just now, but also throughout our journey to Paris and during the Olympic Games. It’s emotional to be riding here in England again.”
Van Liere sets the bar high
Earlier tonight, Dinja van Liere (NED) had set the bar high with an energetic freestyle aboard the chestnut gelding Hartsuijker (owned by Jan Pieter Dalsem). The Dutch athlete delivered a precise routine free of errors, with the passage, flying changes, and pirouettes particularly shining. Her 80.225% score elevated her from sixth in the Grand Prix to third in the Freestyle rankings.
Fellow Dutch athlete Marieke van der Putten rode Torveslettens Titanium RS2 N.O.P. (owned by Jacques Lemmens and Saskia Lemmens-Reijnen) directly after the break, but couldn’t catch up with Van Liere’s score: their polished piaffe- and passage tour made them finish seventh with 77.615%. Their Dutch compatriot Hans Peter Minderhoud and Glock’s Toto Jr. (owned by Glock Hpc NL B.V. and Nicole Werner) did not surpass the 80% they achieved earlier this season in Lyon. The duo settled for sixth place with 78.900%.
Nanna Skodborg Merrald (DEN) also displayed technical precision aboard the active Blue Hors St. Schufro. Despite a spirited ride, the black stallion could settle down a bit more in the environment. They scored 79.910% for fifth place.
High expectations for Moody and Jagerbomb
The crowd’s anticipation peaked when Becky Moody (GBR) entered the arena with her home-bred gelding Jagerbomb. Smiling broadly, Moody began her Beatles-themed freestyle with high expectations after their Grand Prix win. However, her smile faded when Jagerbomb faltered in the canter pirouette, breaking into trot while riding out and taking a moment to recover. Despite this, they delivered a lovely trot tour, with their beautiful connection and steady contact earning them 80.160% and fourth place.
Isabel Freese (NOR), riding Total Hope OLD, entered the arena as the last competitor. The black stallion has an extraordinary pedigree: sired by Totilas and out of Isabell Werth’s former champion Weihegold OLD. Their piaffe and passage were executed with metronomic precision, and despite an error in the two-tempi changes, the pair’s dynamic Sher-freestyle earned them a personal best of 83.270% and second place.
“This exceeds all my expectations,” said an emotional Freese after the ride. “I am so proud. It has always been a dream to compete here. I’ve just been eight weeks out of the saddle after a surgery, which made this result even more special. My groom took exceptional care of Total Hope, and perhaps the break was beneficial for both of us. He is in fantastic form.”
Van Liere was equally pleased with her ride on Hartsuijker. “He felt amazing, though he was a bit tense during the warm-up due to the noise. But once we entered the arena, he settled and gave me a wonderful ride,” she reflected.
Glamourdale Feels Like Flying
It was, however, Charlotte Fry who had the most to celebrate. The reigning World Champion and Olympic bronze medallist was competing in London for the first time since the Olympic Games in Paris. After mistakes in the double-counting pirouettes during the Grand Prix, Fry was focused on delivering a flawless Freestyle. The 28-year-old guided the imposing Glamourdale through their ‘Best of Britain’ freestyle, set entirely to British songs, which delighted the home crowd. Glamourdale’s piaffe and passage were rhythmic and light, and his canter tour, as always, was breathtaking. A minor error in the one-time changes and a touch of tension in the two-time changes were mere blips in an otherwise stellar performance. Their score of 86.645% was more than enough to secure victory.
“This was the perfect end to the year for Glammie and me,” Fry beamed after the prize-giving ceremony. “It’s a feeling I’ve never experienced before. He was absolutely on fire, and performing like this on home soil is incredible. Riding him feels like flying.” Fry revealed that Glamourdale had enjoyed a short holiday after Paris before being trained up again with London in mind. “He was a little tense yesterday when we entered the arena, but his excitement is a good thing. He’s fresh and still improving,” she explained. Looking ahead, Fry remains undecided about her plans for the rest of the FEI Dressage World Cup™ season.
The next FEI Dressage World Cup™ qualifier takes place in Mechelen, Belgium, on 28-29 December. So don’t miss a hoofbeat…

What more can you ask for?
Their Olympic freestyle Paris theme not only makes great memories but also has a very special mood, also reflected with 2 x 10 for "music and interpretation of the music" from judges at M, British Peter Storr and at B, Czech Republic Gabriela Valeriánová.
High degree of difficulty combined with top qualities for piaffe and passage tours, rewarded with lots of 9´s and a few 10´s (A question: Is it possible to ask for any better in order to get at 10? "Regularity, taking weight, self-carriage, activity, elasticity of back and steps. Specific number of diagonal steps"), soft contact and top expression. Only tiny technical things were tense entering halt, small error for 1 times at curved line, successfully repeated for the joker line with combo of two times to one times, tensions for collected walk, but clearly more relaxation for the extended walk tour.
They just leave the picture of dressage joy!
2nd placed Kittel and Touchdown only 0,6% ahead of of Bachmann Andersen and Marshall-Bell. Kittel is the master of freestyle and showed a strong performance.
Daniel and Marshall-Bell showed actually their best ever freestyle yesterday, not fully reflected by the scores, but they are also pretty “new” back on the scene together. Strong technical performance without any issues, well balanced hind, nice piaffe tours, good series, good pirouettes, relaxed walk tour, overall nice expression and nice form. Former PB made back in March 2022 with 83,795%.

Even though their competition record does not show any 5-star starts, it was actually their 2nd CDI5 Grand Prix, as the Olympics of course also is at 5-star level.
Most of the dressage world already knows about this very special 8 yr old mare by Millennium / Christ and her rider Sandra Sysojeva. Today they did not dissapoint. So much power, ease, expression and power in one gorgeous black coat. The judges were not fully in line for the clear victory as the placements was: 2 - 1 - 4 - 1 - 1, and scores from 71,7% from judge at C Thomas Lang til 77,3% from judge at B, Peter Storr. Looking into the detailed scores Peter Storr looked very much on point from H2R point of view. A lot of nines, but also 6,5 for halt with rein back, like also 6,0 and 6,5 for the walk tour and 2 x 5.0 for the two times and extended canter.
Today´s performance was also rewarded with 2 x 10 - the first piaffe and the first part of passage at final centerline.
With today´s Personal Best score of 74,913% there is still room for improvement. The halts were all with a bit of tensions, like the walk tour also need more relaxation, additionally with the two technical issues.
Such a pleasure to watch this combination and follow their already great development.
Sandra told after her test that her normally cool Maxima Bella wanted to look up and was clearly afraid of the people “walking above her head”.
Bit ubalance halt, power expression diagonal, go flow and uphill crossing half passes, not steady halt for rein back, super extension, nice back to big expressive passage, easy into super active of the ground piaffe, easy out, power passage, bit tense walk need more let go, bit unbalanced collected walk, super passage, super piaffe, super smooth transitions, good into canter, small error 2 times, good extended canter, good zigzag, good 1 times, good pirouettes, good into trot, power diagonal, super final centerline WOW! unbalanced halt.
Placed 2nd today the reunited combination Danish Daniel Bachmann Andersen and Marshall-Bell. Last weekend they were entering at Lövsta Top 10, but unfortunately Marshall got the tongue over the bid, and Daniel withdraw from the competition. Today they were back on track with a super solid performance, and where Daniel after his test also was very satisfied, with a small reflection over the zigzag and one times, where he didn´t manage to keep as focused and balanced as the rest of the performance.
Good halt, good balance for diagonal, active half passes missing bit more suppleness right, not square halt but nice rein back, good power diagonal, nice into passage, good passage, nice transitions, active well balanced piaffe at the spot, good passage, nice extended walk with good relaxation, bit tense collected walk, good into passage, nice into and out of 2nd piaffe, tiny bit forward, good angle, good into canter, good big 2 times full diagonal, good extended canter, good change, good zigzag dropping pole slightly, ok 1 times becomes bit short in the neck bit swinging, good balance and quality for both pirouettes, 2nd best, good diagonal, good into passage, nice final piaffe, easy out, good passage, super halt.
Touchdown and Kittel finish as no 3 today.
Bit unsteady halt, good diagonal well balanced, good half passes, unbalanced halt front nice rein back, nice power diagonal, good into passage, small unbalance hind by passage turn, good into nice piaffe, bit big out, nice passage, good extended walk, nice collected walk active balanced, good into passage, nice piaffe at the spot, bit big out, nice into canter, big 2 times, power extended canter, change hind into collection, nice zigzag, good 1 times, good pirouettes, best control 2nd, nice into trot, power diagonal, good final centerline bit big out of piaffe.
