Strandagergårds McCloud by My Vitality / Sezuan - screenshot/Clipmyhorse

Another huge program for Helgstrand Dressage stallion show Saturday afternoon in Vodskov.

H2R highlights

3 yr old Danish Warmblood Strandagergårds McCloud by My Vitality / Sezuan has until now shown himself with great overview, confidence and natural movements, and from H2R point of view already at the pre-selection with extra qualities.

3 yr old La Paix by La Vie / Sir Donnerhall. Easy going, natural closed frame, basic gaits with suppleness with eyes for further education.

4 yr old Danish Warmblood Invictus IWE by Iron / Quaterback. Best Iron son from H2R point of view presented for licensing so far, with suppleness and extraordinary canter.

Mette Sejbjerg Jensen showed three 5 yr old stallions all with WCYH qualities, Straight Horse Leonardo by Lord Europe / De Niro. From being a nice young stallion he has now developed much more strength body wise and look like a top candidate for Danish Warmblood in Verden this year. But Mette and Helgstrand definitely has a luxury problem as both Proud James by Jameson RS2 / Johnson and V-Power by Viva Gold / Fidertanz also are clear WCYH candidates.

New at Helgstrand was 3 yr old Danish Warmblood EVO Fernandez by Fynch Hatton / Franklin, he has recently moved to Vodskov (still owned by Stutteri EVO) and will be available for the breeders. Longlegged stallion with good attitude and very nice basic gaits.

Less is more also with top stallions

All stallions were clearly more affected from the set-up than usual. From the “side line” it was actually more like a natural picture of the young horses not being extra prepared for high music and applauding audience.

Notes from H2R

Why no Dynamic Dream sons and Bronzite among H2R highlights.

About Dynamic Dream offsprings most of them has a huge canter like himself, but will it be suitable for the future? From H2R eye they mostly missing more strength from behind, but lovely types and also look very rideable.

Bronzite is drop-dead gorgeous, but H2R missing to see Bonds offspring in the sport.

Secret himself is a top riding horse producer whether they will make to GP level only the time will show.
