2011 CDN Herentals

There is no stopping the train of Chopin, Bon Bravour and Don Massimo. With three victories at the CDN Herentals on 12 June 2011, this trio of horses has won their fourth consecutive Belgian young horse qualifier which counts as selection trial for the 2011 World Championships for Young Dressage Horses in Verden, 3 - 7 August 2011.

Dominique Mohimont and her Dutch warmblood Chopin (by Jazz x Zep) led the 4-year old division with a 74.855 score. Stefan Hollanders was closely on their heels aboard Frans van Hove's stallion Sir Classic (by Sir Donnerhall x Classiker). This duo received 73.829 points from the judges and referred Ronny Coenraerds on the Rhinelander bred Let's Rock VL (by Lord Loxley x Rubin Royal) to a third place with 72.658.

In the 5-year old division Tom Franckx-Goen and the Dutch warmblood stallion Bon Bravour (by Painted Black x Chronos) reigned supreme with their 78.088 score which left all competition leagues behind them. Dominique Mohimont and the Dutch warmblood Botticelli (by Vivaldi x Koss x Pion) were second with almost 10 points less on 69.863. Toby Horstin and the Dutch warmblood Bizzkit Lusan (by Sandreo x Osmium) were third with 67.875.

"I'm super happy with my ride on Bravour today. We won," Franckx commented. "There will be champagne for sure tonight."

Larissa Pauluis and her Oldenburg stallion Don Massimo (by Don Larino x Santander H) were rock 'n rolling in the 6-year old division, winning the trophy with 76.012 points. Stefan van Ingelgem and the Belgian bred Oldenburg Ariane's Razotti (by Romanov x Dream of Glory) were the runners-up with 74.000. Simon Missiaen and the Oldenburg stallion Rousseau's Topas (by Rousseau x Rohdiamant) were third with a fraction of a point less, 73.976.

With these string of victories both Bon Bravour and Don Massimo are certain of a Belgian spot at the 2011 World Young Horse Championships.
