The Danish equestrian federation and Danish warmblood society have announced the long-list of horses that are eligible to move on to the second team selection trial for the 2023 World Championships for young dressage horses in Ermelo, 3 - 6 August 2023.
The Danish WCYH selection trials kicked off yesterday, 31 May 2023, with the first observation and selection at the DWB headquarters in Vilhelmsborg.
The selectors in charge of picking the Danish crop were judges Jens Holm Kristensen, Gunilla Nyman, Birthe Lyder Nielsen and Christine Winther Prip, assisted by DWB committee members Lisette Berner, Ane Marie Jensen and Kristian Bech. They assessed the horses who had to perform the finals test, while rider Jens Holm Kristensen shortly worked with the pairs on the problem points in the test.
Ten 5-year olds, eight 6-year olds and eight 7-year olds were long listed for the second trial on 27 - 28 June 2023. Of the 26 horses that move to the second round, no less than 9 come from Helgstrand's barn.
The best represented sire is once again Hesselhøj Donkey Boy with six offspring through to the next rider, while five Frankins have been selected. Secret and Revolution both have three offspring through.
