Dynamic Dancer, High Scorer of the 2024 Danish Autumn Stallion Performance Test

Breeding

Danish Warmblood

The liver chestnut Dynamic Dancer became the high scoring horse of the 2024 Danish Warmblood Autumn Stallion performance test in Tørring.

The 35-day test concluded on 23 November 2024. Originally eight stallions began the testing, but Moricello III (by Morricone x Floricello) was pulled. The remaining seven all passed.

Test rider Allan Grøn assessed the colts at the half way point and during the final exam day, noticing that several of them felt tired after the 35-day performance test.

Dynamic Dancer

The high scorer was the Westfalian Dynamic Dancer (by Dynamic Dream x Dresemann x Florestan). Bred by Simon Kohlenbrenner and presented at the testing by his previous owner Helgstrand Dressage, the liver chestnut scored the highest total of 888 points.

Dynamic Dancer was a premium licensed stallion at the 2023 Westfalian licensing, after which he was also accepted at the Danish Warmblood licensing in March 2024. He has been sold to American investors Mike and Lauren O'Donnell Fisher, who support U.S. dressage rider Rebecca Rigdon.

Top Three

The second best scoring stallion was the DSP registered stallion Veniro (by Va Bene x De Niro), with 855.5 points. Bred by Gabriele Eder, the bay is already Westfalian and Hanoverian approved.

The third highest score was achieved by Chicago Majlund (by Vivino x Tailormade Temptation), bred and owned by Annika Pagård of Stutteri Majlund. He got 820 points.

Nordentoft's Jerome (by Jovian x Revolution), bred and owned by Nordentoft Equestrian, got 801.5 points

Under 800

Stallions needs to score over 800 points to be automatically invited to complete the licensing process for Danish Warmblood. A minimum of 750 points needs to be scored to pass. Those scoring between 750 and 800 points are welcome to be presented for licensing in March, but the committee might not accept them.

The Danish warmblood Sarai L (by Secret x For Romance x Belissimo M) scored 781 points. His walk proved to be an issue in the testing (6.5) despite his fabulous canter (9). He is owned by Stal van de Sande and L Horses and has also been invited to do the KWPN performance test for Dutch warmblood licensing.

The Hanoverian bred Bernie (by Bernay x Livaldon), passed the test with 759 points. He is bred by Bernhard Gärtner and owned by Ib Kirk and Per Thybo.

First Testing, Then Approval

The Oldenburg bred Global Amour (by Global Player x Furstenball) was entered in the testing voluntarily without having first been licensed at the Danish Warmblood licensing. He scored 846 points. He is bred by Britta Budeus-Wiegert and registered as owned by Helgstrand.
