A great day at Helgstrand Open House & Stallion Show 2024

april 6. 2024

Saturday afternoon, we held our annual Open House and Stallion Show here at Helgstrand Dressage in Vodskov. And as always, it was a fantastic day where our guests had the opportunity to explore Helgstrand Academy, and after the show, the stables at Helgstrand Dressage were open for visits.

The stallion show featured 16 exciting stallions from our 2024 stallion collection, which includes both new young stallions and our more established ones - each with their own qualities and strengths. This variety means that we can meet breeders' different wishes and needs when selecting the right stallion for their mare.

And we can only say that we are so proud of our breeders for the results they achieve, which also meant that this year, a total of 36 breeder awards were handed out!
