Valentina Remold

Championships in Millstreet

The palomino stallion sold to Italian pony rider Valentina Remold in 2012.

With the help of coach Nicolette van Leeuwen and Vanessa Ferluga, Valentina trained him to FEI pony level and started competing him internationally in 2013. They premiered in Vidauban (FRA) and competed for two years at major CDI's in Stadl Paura, Caselle di Sommacampagna, Radzionkow, Arezzo, Vienna, Lipica, Roosendaal, and San Giovanni in Marignano.

The pair finished fifth with the Italian team at the 2014 European Pony Championships in Millstreet, Ireland. Individually he ranked seventh in the Kur to Music finals.

Hansen Family

Prince of Glory then sold to Denmark to the Hansen family. He was intended for the then 13-year old Sofie Hansen.

Sofie made her international debut on the palomino at the CDI Stadl Paura in April 2015. She competed him through 2017 and her efforts got rewarded with Danish team selection at the 2017 European Pony Championships in Kaposvar (HUN), where they won team silver and placed 6th in the Kur to Music Finals. At the Danish Pony Championships the pair was fifth in 2015, fourth in 2016 and won silver in 2017.

In 2018 younger sister Cecilie K Hansen took over the ride and competed him at four CDI's over two years, their last being Vilhelmsborg in June 2019. Cecilia showed the pony at a few more national shows, their last being in February 2020. They were eight at the 2018 and 2019 Danish Pony Championships

Return to the Arena

After an almost four year absence, Prince of Glory is set to return to the arena with a new rider, Ingeborg Schou.

"I am so much looking forward to the future with this super star of a pony stallion," said Ingeborg. "Thank you so much for making this adventure possible and for giving me this opportunity."

Ingeborg was member of the Danish team at the 2023 European Pony Championships, where she won team silver aboard the smaller pony, FS Calimero.
