The young stallions were ready for their final day at 35-days performance test today
For the last day at the performance test the young stallions were ridden by test rider Allan Grøn. All the stallions were fresh, motivated and good condition. All stallions with more than a total score of minimum 800 points are invited for the main licensing, between 700-800 points the stallion has passed the test and can be invited for the main licensing. (Here you find more information about the rules)
For the absolute top we saw 4 stallions, all 4 owned by Helgstrand Dressage:
Performance test winner My Vitality by Vitalis / D-Day, bred in the Netherlands. Throughout the testing and also from former appearances My Vitality showed his super supple gaits in a nice balance and not least with a mindset made for dressage.
Placed 2nd Iron by Asgard´s Ibiza / Hohenstein, bred by Nedergaard Dressage 🇩🇰. Quick and easy of the ground always in the right angle from behind, showing great expression and very nice contact and self carriage.
3rd Rockabye S by Revolution / Belstaff, bred by Flemming Schultz 🇩🇰. Super well moving, supple and obedient showing good power.
Also the stallion In My Mind by Asgard´s Ibiza / Fidermark from Helgstrand Dressage has been doing the Danish Warmblood performance test. He showed super attitude with quality gaits and developed nicely.
From test rider Allan Grøn it was a great experience testing testing the young stallions again. “It was really nice being back in the saddle of the young stallions. I also did the mid way testing and of course it was an advantage that I knew each stallion before today, and for me both the mid way test and today’s final test provides the basis for each scoring. The testing it is of course always a challenge, and for me it´s about things like how does the horse carry you, the self carriage of the horse, the contact, the balance and of course the regularity of the gaits, and not least that I can try to make the frame a bit larger being able to get the feeling of the potential,” tells Allan Grøn.
