The dressage filly Hojgaardens Miss Magnifique was named 2-year old filly champion of the 2013 Danish Warmblood Elite Mare Show held in Vilhelmsborg, Denmark, on Saturday 7 September 2013. One of six fillies in the final, the judges chose this daughter by Tailormade Temptation as winner.

The well attended Danish Warmblood Elite Mare Show usually features the stars of tomorrow as some of the strongest dam lines of Danish Warmblood are represented in the collection of the young mares competing.

This year the judges chose six fillies for the final: Nørregårds Famous (by Don Romantic) bred by Ruth Knudsen, Straight Horse Rozina (by Jazz) bred by Straight Horse, Overgaard's Zappa (by Zack) bred by Tove & Ove Møller Nørgaard, Avlum, Højgaardens Miss Magnifique (by Tailormade Temptation) bred by Brian Jensen, and Tiko (by Tailormade Temptation) bred by Stutteri Hove.

"This morning we saw 22 very well-moving, elegant, and feminine fillies and for the finals the collection has been reduced to only the best in the country. And it is among these six splendid young mares that we will choose the Dressage Filly of the Year," said breeding consultant Karina Christiansen.

After a short description of each filly she revealed that the judges had chosen Højgaardens Miss Magnifique as the 2-year-old Dressage Filly of the Year. She is by Tailormade Temptation x Bernstein x Heling and is owned and bred by Brian Jensen.

"It is an absolutely beautiful leggy model with a perfect outline. She has a very good walk, where she works supple through her body," said Karina Christiansen about Højgaardens Miss Magnifique, which also received praise for her impressive balance and uphill tendency.

"It is actually a mare that is complete in every sense. She is a wonderful model; she is well-functioning with three correct and rhythmic gaits."
