2011 Danish Pony Championships

Victoria Vallentin and her temperamental palomino mare Natalina reigned supreme at the 2011 Danish pony championships held in Middelfart, Denmark, on 19 - 21 August. In a very tight duel with Caroline Bording Smidt, Vallentin beat her to the finish and won the overall championship.

Victoria is trained by her parents Søren and Mette and has been competing the 12-year old Natalina for one year now. She has competed very successfully internationally this 2011 show season, but the Danish chef d'equipe and team trainer decided not pick her for the Danish team that competed at the 2011 European Pony Championships in Poland. At the 2011 CDIO-P Hagen Natalina gave testimony of her fiesty character by exploding in the team test.

Vallentin, however, proved her worth at the national championships and scored 69.352 in the first round and 71.474% in the kur to music to finish on a total of 1408.260. Caroline Bording Smidt and the liver chestnut Campari were second overall with 1403.520 points. The pair tied on first place in the first round but were second in the kur with 71.000%. The bronze medal went to the new pair Kristine Koch Bejtrup on the seasoned campaigned Dornick Son. She scored 68.056% (4th) in the first round and 67.158% in the kur.
