German Dressage News
German Olympian Helen Langehanenberg has secured the ride on the 14-year old Hanoverian Grand Prix stallion Damsey, which is owned by American Louise Leatherdale.
The licensed breeding stallion Damsey (by Dressage Royal x Ritual) has previously trained and competed by Steffen Frahm under the supervision of Jonny Hilberath.
Frahm and Damsey made their international Grand Prix debut at the 2013 CDI Wiesbaden and also showed in Rotterdam and Lingen that year. The pair did not compete at CDI's in 2014 and only did one international in 2015 at the CDIO Rotterdam.
When Frahm left stallion station Meyer, where Damsey is based, to work at Hof Kasselmann he lost the ride on the stallion. Damsey stayed in training at Hilberath's and was briefly on the market, but today Stallion Station Meyer announced that Helen Langehanenberg has obtained the ride on the horse.
"We've been connected privately and on a friendly, sportive level with Helen Langehanenberg for years," said Susanne Meyer. "Therefore we are happy that she has taken over the training of the horse. The next weeks it will show how well these two will connect."

Emmelie Scholtens on the tall, long legged Estoril (by Zhivago x Gribaldi). The horse got quick and unbalanced in the trot lengthening and broke into canter, but the walk was well regulated

Emmelie Scholtens on the PRE stallion Genciano BCN (by Datil VII). He's a big mover in trot but needed to show more bending in the body. The rhythm in walk was underwhelming but the canter uphill.

Danish Nana Berg Christensen on Lady Gaga (by Quaterback x Landwind). The trot has a very good cadence but in canter the horse is not so supple. The walk was active and ground covering

Yvonne Osterholm on the talented Quarton (by Quaterback x Don Schufro). The chestnut gelding was tense and disobedient but also showed much potential in his elastic trot. The walk was poor today but the canter had an active hindleg

American Matt Johnson on the Danish bred Petersborg Qasanova (by Quaterback x Calypso II). The horse is very talented but clawed in the halt and the simple change was not properly executed. Matt is set to improve his act in the consolation final

Belgian Tom Heylen on the Dutch bred El Capone (by Tuschinski x Camus). The horse is a big mover for sure, but was unbalanced in trot. He was ridden slightly overtempo and could benefit from a bit more collection.

Juan Matute Guimon, a U.S. based Spanish junior rider and at age 16 the youngest Verden participant ever, rode Jamaicano de Ymas III. The horse was not entirely through in the bridle and lost balance. The walk was very nice
