This weekend, the Danish Warmblood Elite Show took place at Vilhelmsborg, where the best foals, mares, and, for the first time, geldings from this summer's Mare and Foal Shows competed against each other for the titles of the year.
Once again, it was a strong field, with many offspring by Helgstrand stallions represented.
No fewer than 14 mares by our stallions were selected – among them the best Danish Warmblood mare of 2025 was Ravenna Klint, sired by Revolution (Stallion of the Year in DWB) - awarded with a gold medal.
Also in the final were:
- Just Me Majlund, by Jovian – Secret, bred by Stutteri Majlund – awarded a silver medal.
- Dizzy, by Donkey Boy – Zack, bred by Stutteri Hesselhøj and owned by Helgstrand – also awarded a silver medal.
