Denoix PCH On Form for the Louisdor Cup

Schmidt and Finken are 1 and 2 in the Louisdor Warm Up

Hubertus Schmidt has only just become a grandfather to little Kian, and it seems to have filled him with a lot of motivation for this weekend’s return to the competition arena. Schmidt took three horses to the dressage event at Hof Kasselmann in Hagen a.T.W., Escorial, Denoix PCH and Beryll.

With the latter two, he started in today’s qualifying round for the Louisdor Prize Final qualifier and immediately showed that he is ready to claim his ticket to Frankfurt. In the end, 77,500 percentage points were on the protocol for the riding master and the Oldenburger Denoix PCH (by Destano). The atmosphere at the Borgberg venue seems to suit the eight-year-old chestnut stallion; last year the combination already won the Intermediare I at Horses & Dreams meets France. Denoix PCH is owned by American Nancy Gooding, a long-time sponsor of Schmidt, and shows great talent for the Grand Prix movements, particularly piaffe, passage and one tempi changes.

Second place went to Holga Finken and the 11-year-old KWPN gelding Gino, who scored 75,877 percent. Finken is located at Sudenhof in Hagen a.T.W. and had probably one of the shortest travel times to the event. Dr. Annabel Frenzen and her 9-year-old Rheinländer SilberStern, a horse she bred and trained herself and with whom she was already successful at the Bundeschampionate and Nürnberger Burg-Pokal Final, finished in third position.

Hof Kasselmann riders Nicole Wego and Frederic Wandres competed Budhi (by Bordeaux - Likoto xx) and Hot Hit (by Hotline - Diamond Hot) for fifth and sixth place respectively.

The Louisdor Prize Final qualifier will be held on Sunday from 9:30 am, with the short Grand Prix test on the programme.
