The 3-year old Quick Dream, the 4-year old Verdesse II VH, the 5-year old Vive la Reinne II VH, the 6-year old EmmyLou, and the 7-year old Diploid became the winners of the 2023 Swedish Warmblood Young Horse Championships held in Flyinge.
The annual SWB Young Horse Championships feature a packed programme of classes for dressage and show jumping horses spread out over two weeks, as well as a Swedish warmblood elite foal auction, which took place on 29 September 2023. Dressage took centre stage the first week from 24 September - 1 October 2023.
The 3-year old champion's title was won by Quick Dream, a gelding by Quaterhit x Benetton Dream, bred and owned by sisters Anita Hernodh Hassel and Anki Hernodh and presented by Camilla Axelsson. The dark bay was a league of his own, scoring 9.5 for trot, 8.8 for walk, 9.3 for canter, 8.8 for suppleness and 9.3 for general impression. With a total of 91.40 points he stayed well ahead of runner-up Devin Franco GJ (by Vivino x Bon Coeur) who scored 84.40 under Minna Telde. Axelsson also picked up bronze aboard Ninnis Seabank (by Springbank II x Zack).
The highlight for the spectators is each year the 4-year old finals as a celebrity rider gets invited to test ride the youngsters. This year that was Benjamin Werndl who turned the finals into a masterclass. He chose the Vastra Hoby's mare Verdesse II (by Valverde x First Wish) as the winner. Under Jacob Norby Sorensen the mare was third in the first round with 86.60 points but was favoured by Werndl in the test rider finals with a 9.5 for rideability and 10 for potential.
The 5-, 6- and 7-year old finals followed the FEI format in which the "Finals Test" decided the winners. The 5-year old champion is Vive La Reinne II (by Revolution x De Niro), owned by Vastra Hoby and ridden by Danish Maria Anita Andersen. The bay mare got 8.8 for walk, 9 for trot, 9.3 for canter, 9 for submission and 9.5 for perspective. In the 6-year old finals Mikaela Alderin rode mare EmmyLou (by Furstenball x Emmerton) to the title with a 90.40 total. The mare got 8.5 for walk, 9.5 for trot, 9 for canter and submission and 9.2 for perspective. In the 7-year old finals Vendela Eriksdotter Rubin and her long-time partner Diploid (by Hesselhoj Donkey Boy x Topaasch) took their third, consecutive SWB Young Horse Champion's title. They scored a total of 79.429% for the victory.
