Susanne Barnow's rising small tour horse Åtoftens Dancing Memory has been sold to a Danish pony rider as her future junior horse. The 7-year old will continue his sport career under Anna Munkebo.

Åtoftens Dancing Memory is a Danish warmblood gelding by ERA Dancing Hit out of ERA Brilliant Dream (by Benetton Dream x Lauries Crusador xx x Weltmeyer).

Susanne Barnow

The black gelding is bred by Annette Bugge and Claus Hansen. For the past three years they have owned the horse in partnership with Susanne Barnow and Steffen Kristensen.

Danish professional Susanne Barnow developed and competed the horse up the levels. They made their show debut in 2020.

In 2021 they were sixth in the consolation finals for 5-year olds at the Danish Young Horse Championships. A year later at the 2022 Danish Young Horse Championships they won bronze in the 6-year old finals.

Anna Munkebo

The black has now sold to Danish pony rider Anna Munkebo who is in her last year on ponies.

The 16-year old made her international show debut in march 2022 at the CDI Lier with Tackmann's Cookie (by Can Dance x Neckar) and she has also been campaigning Lyngdal's Mira Puella (by Daugaarden's Boombay x CJ Chargon Bredager) along the way.

This year Munkebo kicked off her 2023 CDI tour in Sint-Truiden, Belgium, with Mira Puella as well as the 9-year old Danish Sport Pony Lykkehoejs Bodypaint (by FS Calimero x Melli's Dornik).

"Bamse's new owner Anna is an incredible talented and skilful rider who has also started international competitions on her ponies," Barnow stated. "She has one year left as pony rider and therefore Åtoftens Dancing Memory will remain in training at Barnow Dressage for 2023."
