This year's World Championships for young dressage horses have come to an end - finishing on top winning one gold medal and one silver medal. We brought 6 horses, and the 5 went straight into the finals. Today, we finished with two medals in the 6-year-old final, with Global Player and Eva Möller claiming the World Championship title, and the 2021 World Champion, Downtown took silver with Jeanna Högberg.
We are heading home after some amazing days in Ermelo, The Netherlands full of great memories. Both Eva onboard Global Player and Jeanna with Downtown delivered top performances, but in the end, Global Player by Helgstrand's former breeding stallion, Grand Galaxy Win (damsire Don Schufro), claimed the title of best 6-year-olds. A fantastic ride today, which earned a total score of 9.76 and two 10s for submission and perspective respectively. In addition, 9.8 for trot, 9.5 for walk, and 9.5 for canter.
Last ride for Jeanna and Downtown
It was an emotional moment as Jeanna and Downtown rode down the centerline for the last time to the sound of cheers and loud applause. But what an amazing way to end a fantastic time by earning a silver medal on one of her favourite horses, Downtown (Hesselhøj Donkey Boy/Zack), after winning the preliminary round. They achieved an overall score of 9.38 with 9.3 for trot, 9.3 for walk, 9.0 for canter, 9.5 for submission and 9.8 for capacity.
From Helgstrand we wish Jeanna all the best for the future!
