We are very pleased to welcome you to an exciting stallion show at Helgstrand Dressage.

This year, we have an extremely interesting stallion collection, counting stallions of very high quality. Among others, the 4-year-old Champion Stallion from Danish Warmblood Zonik, the 3-year-old Champion Stallion from the German Oldenburg Verband, Fürstenstein, and the 3-year-old Eclectrisch, who has just been approved as Champion Stallion in Holland, and naturally Sezuan, the top-notch stallion, everyone in Europe talks about. All stallions will be shown under saddle. During the presentation of each stallion, the audience is welcome to ask questions about the stallions. In addition to the stallion show, Andreas will have a clinic with one of his top horses.

The stallion show takes places on Saturday, April 14 at 1.00 p.m.

We look forward to welcoming breeders, riders and everyone with an interest in top horses to Møgelmosegaard. 

Sezuan

Last weekend, Helgstrand Dressage and Cathrine Rasmussen from Kleppenhus in Ebeltoft, Denmark acquired the 2012 Champion Stallion of the German Oldenburger Verband. The 3-year-old stallion, Fürstenstein, has Fürst Romancier as sire, Hohenstein as dam sire and the legendary Donnerhall as great grand sire. At the licensing, he achieved e.g. 9.0 for trot and 9.5 for rideability.

Helgstrand Dressage also bought the 3-year-old Champion Stallion of the Dutch AES. This stallion, Eclectisch, is by Zenon with Olivi as dam sire.

In addition, the premium stallion from Danish Warmblood's Stallion Show, Atterupgaards Sastre, is now owned by Helgstrand Dressage and Henrik Hansen. Sastre has just finished Danish Warmblood's 10-day test, and is now available for breeding.

Eclectisch will be presented at Danish Warmblood's licensing on April 12 2012.

Today, Sezuan has passed the 10-day test at Vilhelmsborg. He obtained the following remarks from the breeding and training management.

Behavior in stable: No remarks.

Behavior under rider/motivation: Very good rideability, a co-operative stallion which is unimpressed by the surroundings.

Walk: Clear rhythm and with good impulsion.

Trot: Supple, clear rhythm with good impulsion and good self-carriage. Good knee and hock action and a good up-hill tendency.

Canter: Huge, well-balanced and supple with a good up-hill tendency.

Conclusion: 1-year breeding approval for the year 2012.

Sezuan was energetic and ready today, when he arrived for the 10-day observation test at Vilhelmsborg. He was showing off, but balanced with a cool overview in the huge arena with his rider Emma Ahlberg.

We are crossing our fingers for at successful 10-day test, and look forward to having him home afterwards for a well-deserved vacation.

Today, Zonik received the final licensing in Danish Warmblood and the title Champion Stallion of 4-year-old dressage stallions. Moreover, he was awarded a breeder's silver medal and the Aage Ravn's Challenge Cup. Zonik did really well during all the tests at the stallion show in Herning. We have huge expectations for this stallion and look forward to following his future progress and results. 

The national stallion show in Herning is off to a good start. Zonik and Sir Donnerhall II obtained the final licensing in Danish Warmblood on Thursday. Our fatastic young stallion Sezuan was also licensed yesterday. Today, Sunday, he will compete against the other 3-year-old stallions to become premium stallion or champion stallion. 

In the championship for young horses, Andreas recorded yet another victory, winning with Møllegårdens Pas Partout with impressive 943 points. They obtained e.g. 10 for trot and rideabilty and 9.5 for capacity. In addition, Marianne and Shakiro Pilekær made a great performance, placing 4th and scoring 900 points. They also obtained an impressive 10 for walk, and 9.5 for canter and capacity.
