Heidi Degele and Lakota HD to Compete at Markel/USEF Developing Horse Grand Prix Dressage National Championships

From Training Level to Grand Prix:

Photo Credit:Joanna Jodko Photography

 

 

Loxahatchee, FL (August 11, 2013) – USDF Gold, Silver, and Bronze medalist Heidi Degele has always set lofty goals for herself and her dressage mounts, and is now seeing those goals achieved with her ten-year-old American Warmblood gelding Lakota HD. Degele and Lakota HD have officially received their invitation to compete in the Grand Prix Developing Horse division of the 2015 Markel/USEF Developing Horse Dressage National Championships at Lamplight Equestrian Center in Wayne, Illinois on August 19-23.

The partnership between Degele and Lakota dates back to the gelding’s arrival at her facility just outside of Wellington, Florida as a ‘barely broke’ three-year-old. Degele states, “I’ve trained him from his first time going down center line in Training Level all the way to the Grand Prix.”

This past season, Degele consistently earned high scores in the Intermediare II and Developing Grand Prix classes. Recently, Degele and Lakota won High Point of U.S. bred horses at White Fences Equestrian Center in Loxahatchee, Florida, with a score of 73.16 percent in the Intermediare II. The pair’s hard work and impressive results paid off in receiving the official invitation to compete at the Young Horse National Championships. Degele competed at the Young Horse Championships with Lakota in 2013 at the Developing Prix St Georges level, and she is overjoyed to return this year at the Grand Prix level. The competition is part of the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF)’s initiative to recognize up-and-coming dressage talent for High Performance— not only in riders, but also in their equine partners.

Degele was thrilled when her official USEF invitation arrived in the mail. “It was one of the greatest feelings ever, really a dream come true!” For Degele, one of the best parts of her success is sharing the achievement with Lakota. “Lakota HD is all heart— he may not be bred like most of his competition, but he wants it. He wants to do well just as bad as I do! He can be really silly in the barn or in the warm-up, often times squealing when he is excited. Yet when it comes to the center line, it’s ‘Game On!’”

Degele credits other top trainers for their help in her journey bringing Lakota up through the levels. “I’ve worked with Lars Peterson since the start, and he truly helped me ‘make’ this horse. I have also had the privilege of riding at a clinic with Steffen Peters, who actually rode Lakota.” Patrick Burssens and Hubertus Schmidt have also helped to polish Lakota’s Grand Prix movements. Degele has most recently been training with Danish Olympian Bent Jensen, who she states has done a tremendous job— especially with the challenging one tempi lead changes.

Always full of personality, Lakota is a true performer. “Once the braids go in, he can’t stand himself— jumping around on the crossties, crossing his legs, pawing, whatever it takes for us to get him in the trailer as soon as possible and into the arena,” smiles Degele. “He has made me cry a few times this season. Tears have run down my face at the shows, not because I was sad, but because I was so proud of him. There are so many other horses I’ve ridden throughout my career that may have had twice the gaits, athletic ability, and superior bloodlines than he has, but I have never ridden a horse with as much will and heart.”

With the Young Horse Championships quickly approaching, Degele plans to continue her training routine that she developed during her three years in Germany riding with Olympic Gold Medalist Hubertus Schmidt. “Lately, Bent Jensen has been helping me at the shows and that has been great! Lakota loves him, and Bent allows me to keep my program.” Degele states that as long as she remains calm, cool, and focused in the ring, then the rest is easy.

Degele owns and operates HeidiDressage LLC, and is focused on continuing up to the FEI level and competing in the CDIs with Lakota and her 9 year-old KWPN gelding, Benson HD. Degele is also concentrated on growing her training and sales business of upper level dressage horses. She thanks her sponsors Custom Saddlery, Dressage Sport Boots (DSB), Cavalor, and Premier Equestrian for their continued support.

FEI European Championships Aachen 2015: Narrow Lead for the German Dressage Team at Half-time

After two team riders each have competed in the Lambertz-Prize, the Grand Prix team classification of the FEI European Championships Aachen 2015, the German quartet is narrowly in the lead. The defending champions are heading the rankings with 150.100 points ahead of the team from the Netherlands on a score of 148.214 points and the team from Great Britain on a score of 145.743 points.

 

 

The national coach of the German team, Monica Theodorescu, is extremely satisfied: “Jessica (von Bredow-Werndl) had a great ride right at the start and we were really happy with Johnny (Don Johnson) too. It was a shame about the mistake in the one-tempi flying changes, because they count double so we paid dearly for the mistake.” Theodorescu is thoroughly enjoying the half-time lead: “This is super!”

 

 

Jessica von Bredow-Werndl rode first for the German team. The 29-year-old is the only member of the team that was in the squad for the first time. Her conclusion: “It was a successful ride with calculated risk and a few small mistakes,” commented von Bredow-Werndl. “The reception in the stadium with the thundering applause was very impressive. It really motivated me, but it unnerved Unée a bit.” With an error in the flying changes, the pair didn’t quite manage a faultless round, but the rest was harmonious, even if I didn’t risk everything. Chef d’equipe Klaus Roeser was full of praise: “It was a respectable round. Considering the pressure, she really did a good job!” The European Championships debutante reported that she hadn’t really been nervous before her first European Championships appearance, just happy: “The fact that I was able to ride here is like a gift I awarded myself. I didn’t put any pressure on myself. I have reached the point I wanted to get to.”

 

 

Aachen is Isabell Werth’s twelfth European Championships participation. The first time she competed at a European Championships was in 1989 with Weingart. After her ride with Don Johnson, the self-appointed ‘Team mama’ was rather disappointed. “Johnny did a good job apart from the mistake in the one-tempi flying changes. I am still trying to comprehend why the scores ranged between 72 and 77 percent.”

 

 

The national coach of the Dutch team, Wim Ernes, is “very satisfied” after the first day in Aachen!”  ”Our first rider, Patrick van der Meer with Uzzo, is on the team for the first time and he put in a very satisfying performance. And Diederik van Silfhout with Arlando did justice to his reputation as the ‘shooting star’. “Ernes had given both riders a ‘tip’ before competing: “I told them to ride like they always do. It is the same competition, the arena is simply somewhere else – namely in Aachen.”

 

 

Fiona Bigwood with Atterupgaards Orthilla were the strongest pair of the day for Great Britain. They were awarded a score of 75.800 percentage points, which meant they are lying just 0.014 percent behind the best rider of the day, the Dutch rider Silfhout. The last time that the 39-year-old took part at Championships was in 2010, but she now has a top-class horse again, which had only competed in five Grand Prix prior to the competition here today in Aachen.

 

 

The competitions here in Aachen are also qualifiers for the Olympic Games. Three teams have already qualified for Rio de Janeiro next year: Germany, the Netherlands and Great Britiain, the three teams that are currently leading after the first day at the FEI European Championships Aachen 2015. Three further teams could also redeem their tickets here in Aachen. After the first half of the team classification, the teams from Sweden, Belgium and Spain rank fourth to sixth and would thus qualify for Olympia. But everything is still wide open, the teams from France and Denmark are close at their heels.

 

 

Tomorrow, on Thursday, the second half of the Lambertz-Prize begins, the Grand Prix team classification. Tomorrow the strongest pairs will compete, including the reigning Olympic gold medallist and World Champion Charlotte Dujardin with Valegro for Great Britain, Kristina Bröring-Sprehe with Desperados and Matthias Alexander Rath with Totilas for Germany.

FEI European Championships Aachen 2015 – Dressage Day 1

Aachen (GER), 12 August 2015

Photo Caption: A super test from Diederik van Silfhout and Arlando NOP placed them top of the individual rankings and put The Netherlands in temporary silver medal spot when the first of two days of competition to decide the team medals at the FEI European Dressage Championships 2015 took place in Aachen, Germany today.

Germany holds the advantage after Day 1 of Dressage

by Louise Parkes

 

Germany holds the lead after the first of two days of competition to decide the team medals at the FEI European Dressage Championships 2015 in Aachen, Germany today. It certainly isn’t unexpected, as the host nation and defending champions are bidding to clinch the title for the 23rd time. Jessica von Bredow-Werndl got them off to the perfect start when posting a score of 75.200 when last to go before the lunch-break. “I had two little mistakes, but I’m really pleased…I think 75 percent is a good base for the rest of the team” the 29-year-old said.

 

However the Netherlands are in hot pursuit thanks to a super test from Diederik van Silfhout and Arlando NOP that put them top of the individual rankings. Fifth-last to go this afternoon, the dark bay stallion was smooth and rhythmic, maintaining a great shape to earn 75.800. And when added to the 72.400 earned by team pathfinders Patrick van der Meer and Uzzo, the Dutch score of 148.214 leaves them only 1.886 percentage points behind their hosts at the head of affairs. Van Silfhout was delighted that his young stallion showed such composure under pressure today. “He’s only 10, and how he has improved in one year, I couldn’t be happier! He’s a horse with a lot of potential and a big future if he stays safe and sound.” And he knew he needed a good result. “Patrick did a very good test but his points were a bit disappointing, so then you know you have to do a good test otherwise the medal is gone, so there was a little pressure” said the 27-year-old rider.

 

Really challenged

 

Great Britain lies third, another 2.471 points further adrift after Fiona Bigwood really challenged for the individual lead when posting 75.800 with Atterupgaards Orthilia. The 39-year-old wears a patch over her right eye which was damaged in a fall from a young horse last year. As a result she has double-vision, and the patch helps her to focus.  “It’s harder to judge the bend to the right, and I can’t always see where the horse’s neck should be” she explained. It hasn’t affected her competitiveness however. “I knew I had to pull out a mark to get a medal. It’s only the sixth international for this horse, she’s not that experienced, so how much do you ask? She was really worried the last few minutes before going in, so we are over the moon with her result!” she said. Added to Michael Eilberg’s 69.943 with Marakov, Bigwood’s score brought the British tally to 145.743, more than five percentage points ahead of Sweden in fourth place.

 

Swedish chances took a blow when their star partnership of Minna Telde and Santana had to settle for a relatively modest score of 68.714. The much-loved 14-year-old stallion lost an eye some years ago but has been enjoying one of the best seasons of his long career, taking three medals at the Nordic Championships and playing a key role on the winning team in the FEI Nations Cup™ at Falsterbo (SWE) this summer. “A big insect landed on his neck and I had to knock it off, but he was confused by it and then put his tongue over the bit” Telde explained. Like Evelyn Haim-Swarovski whose mare, Dorina, also had her tongue stuck out during the test, marks were much more difficult to get as a result. The 60-year-old Austrian, whose competition hat is beautifully adorned by Swarovski crystals, said “I’m disappointed, I know we lost of a lot of marks, but that’s the sport!”

 

Surprised

 

The last rider of the day was Germany’s Isabell Werth, who was surprised to receive a mark of 74.900 with Don Johnson FRH. “ I was really disappointed when I heard my result because I expected more – the horse was in really good shape, just a mistake in the one-tempis, but I think all the others I have seen they had mistakes as well. I was here to ride 76/77 percent!” said the most medalled competitor in the sport. However her country is in the driving seat going into the second half of the team competition tomorrow when the two most talked-about dressage horses of all time will be in action – the black stallion, Totilas ridden by Germany’s Matthias Alexander Rath, and the record-breaking British partnership of Charlotte Dujardin and Valegro. Dujardin’s mentor and fellow-team-member, Carl Hester, talked today about the excitement and anticipation just hanging in the air.

 

“It’s what everyone’s been waiting for! Unfortunately with Totilas’ injuries during the year these two horses don’t get the chance to come together as the two greatest horses in the world at the moment…they look like they really will have a good head-to-head, and that’s what people have been wanting to see. I feel sorry for the two riders, it can’t be easy and it can’t be nice to have to face each other like that in front of everybody, but that’s sport isn’t it? They’ve both had world records, Valegro holds them at the moment, but it was Totilas that first really brought dressage to the world. Even people that didn’t understand it could appreciate what this horse is doing for the sport, so it’s great. We all wanted to see him here, it doesn’t matter who really wins – it will be the best one, and I hope they both go well because then we really will know what the judges think, who they like the best. I think they already know who it is, but we just have to wait and see!!” Hester said.

 

Score to settle

 

And of course there is a score to settle too. “It’s going to be quite fun because we have something to lay to rest here”, Hester said. “Probably 15 years ago I did my first Aachen and I’ve never had a good Aachen, I’ve never done well here and as everyone knows the only time poor Charlotte has been beaten was in Aachen as well. So both of us have come here very positive and pulled ourselves together and said it absolutely makes no difference that its in Aachen this year, we will do it!” However his lack of luck at the German fixture struck again yesterday when he had a fall from his gelding, Nip Tuck.

 

‘I finished my training and I thought I’m gonna go walk round the big grass field over there with the eventers and have a little chat with them. And, being a wimpy dressage horse, a waiter dropped a tray of glasses in front of me and my horse spun round and came down on top of me on the grass, left me flattened on the floor! And he shocked himself so much he didn’t even bother to run off which was the great news, because if he got out in that field I don’t think we would ever have caught him….so you could quite safely say I haven’t had the best start to the week!” He’ll be hoping his luck takes a turn for the better tomorrow as the final stages of the FEI European Team Dressage Championship plays itself out.

Quotes:

 

Fiona Bigwood GBR: “My goal was a mistake-free test and to try and not have any lower marks. At the end (of the test) I could ask for the extended trot, it’s a little bit like – do you go for the 9 and then end up with a four or do you go for a 7/8 – so in the end I just let her go.”

 

Diederick van Silfhout: “I was really happy because last year was his (Arlando NOP) first big championships, he was only nine and now – this year he’s really strong enough to be here.

 

Jessica von Bredow-Werndl GER (when asked if she was nervous before competing today): “Actually I was for the last few days,  but today I just felt happy to be allowed to go in there because it’s the result of so many years of hard work, and it’s an honour to be able to represent your own country in your own country.”

 

Patrick van der Meer NED: “I made one mistake in the flying changes, it was my mistake. To beat the Germans, that will be a hard job, but we will do our best. I had a very good season with a lot of good results. I was here in Aachen before, in May, so that was already a good preparation and I had some nice other shows. Aachen is the most wonderful show to ride at!”

 

Emilie Nyrerod SWE: “It was so much fun, the audience was fantastic. (Coming into the test) “I was quite cool, more cool that I thought I would be! Of course I was a little bit nervous when I walked in here, but when I got to the arena it all disappeared!”

Triple gold for Pony Team from British Dressage

August 11, 2015 15:02

Triple gold for Pony TeamBritish quartet Phoebe Peters, Isobel Berrington, Clare Hole and Rebecca Bell have made history at this year’s FEI European Pony Dressage Championships (5-9 August) by taking our first ever team gold medal in a close fought battle with Germany and Denmark. Held in Malmö, Sweden, the Championships also proved a very happy hunting ground for Phoebe (16) who took two further golds in the individual and freestyle sections riding her mum Tracy’s SL Lucci, giving Great Britain a clean golden sweep of medals.

The competition got underway with the team round on Thursday with debutante Isobel Berrington (15) acting as pathfinder with her pony, DHI Langar, owned by her mum Penny. A score of 70.615% gave the team just the start they wanted by breaking the magic 70% barrier.  Second for Britain was Clare Hole (13), also making her team debut, with Rembrandt, who was in the team in 2011 and ’12 with owner Maisie Scruton.  They kept Britain in the medal hunt with an excellent 71.718% to leave us in bronze position overnight.

Day two was over to the ‘veterans’ of the team; headed by Rebecca Bell (15) with mum Caroline’s Valido’s Sunshine who made their third, and final, team appearance.   Rebecca put in a polished performance to score 71.077%, bringing a medal a step closer.  Then it was down to our anchor-duo, Phoebe and Lucci.  With two individual gold medals from 2013, a freestyle silver from 2014 and a bronze and silver team medal, the pairing has a great amount of experience but had set high goals for this, their final pony championships together.  With amazing skill and ability, the duo simply blew the competition away with a score of 79.974% to promote Britain to gold, overtaking the Danish team.  It was down to the final competitor of the class from Germany to know our fate.  The calculators were out and they needed a score over 76.4% to snatch victory.   75.769% was the score and gold was Britain’s.

Overnight, Phoebe’s score was amended to 80.077% which made the final winning team margin 0.641% and took the first step to achieving her championship aim of posting three plus 80% scores.

All four riders qualified for the individual test and again scored well to finish top 15; Rebecca was 13th, Clare 14th and Isobel 15th. But the top honours went to Phoebe with a stunning performance to add a fourth gold to her medal collection.  The five judges were unanimous in their scoring to end on 81.39%, a new personal best for this test, and the only rider to break the 80% barrier. Another tick off Phoebe’s championship target.

On to the final test, the freestyle.  All four British riders qualified but the rules only allow three to compete so sadly, Isobel had to sit it out with Langar.  Clare scored 70.278% to finish 14th overall with Rembrandt, a real credit to post three 70% plus scores on a team debut.  Riding in her final ever pony championship test, Rebecca threw caution into the wind and scored a fabulous 73.925% with ‘Sunny’, which held the lead for much of the class, to finish eighth.  Then the focus turned to Phoebe and Lucci; could they end their three year pony career on a high?  Of course they could!  Another test, another 80% plus score, another personal best and therefore another record score, and another gold medal.  85.825% was their final score.

The team performed beyond all expectations and the three golds were a great send off for team chef d’equipe Liz Mills, trainer Peter Storr and selector Sarah Pidgely, who are standing down from their roles.  British Dressage Chief Executive Jason Brautigam commented; “The team and individual performances were nothing short of spectacular.  These four riders met the challenge head on and rode with exceptional skill and flair, all while keeping a cool head and we could not be more proud of them all.  Of course behind every performance is a great support team and while the riders have to perform in the arena, a great deal goes on behind the scenes to get them there.  I’d like to thank the riders, their families, the grooms, the officials, sponsors and supporters who made this team possible.  We’ll be very sad to see Liz and Peter go; their input over the years has helped the pony team to this status and it’s testament to their hard work that the team is now reaping the rewards.  They’ll be hard to replace and I’m sure the pony squad will join me in wishing them well in the future.”

Phoebe told British Dressage; “I just can stop smiling! Lucci was absolutely foot perfect all week; any mistakes we had in our three tests were completely mine – he was with me every step of the way. The team atmosphere was the best ever which made such a difference to our confidence.  The support team was amazing; the grooms worked so hard and Peter and Liz just kept us focused.   It was simply the best week I’ve ever had!”

Equestrian Team GBR is supported by the UK Sport National Lottery funded World Class Programme; the British teams are very grateful to the support they receive from official Team GBR suppliers Dodson & Horrell, Equi-Trek, Land Rover, NAF, NuuMed, Point Two Equine, Tagg Equestrian and Toggi.
