Valiant effort from Brits at Vidauban

Posted on by

July 09, 2015 10:48

 


Britain’s Junior team kept their cool under the scorching Provence sun at the FEI European Dressage Championships for Juniors and Young Riders, Vidauban, 1 – 5 July 2015.

The quartet of young Brits, including two riders making their European Championship debut, achieved a creditable eighth place out of fourteen teams from across Europe. Erin Williams (17) and Bolsan B, her mother Clare’s impressive Sandro Hit nine-year-old were best of the Brits in the team test earning a personal best score of 69.62%.

European Championship newcomer Amber Barton (18) and her 11-year-old stallion Labiat, an attractive son of Le Primeur, thrived under the pressure of their first European team appearance, scoring 67.83%. The new partnership has achieved good results since coming together last year, and they’re looking great prospects for the future.

Chloe Vell (17) and Kaja Di Valentina achieved a solid team test result of 67.67% despite some tension shown in the walk, in an otherwise mistake-free round. The pair’s last European team call-up was in 2013 for the Europeans at Compiègne in France, and they drew upon this experience to show some lovely highlights.

The youngest of the four, Charlotte Dicker (16), and her relatively new ride, Sabatini, are in the early stages of their partnership so their best is yet to come. They scored 63.86% yet showed glimpses of the brilliance they’re capable of. Charlotte and Sabatini, a talented 10-year-old mare by Stedinger and owned by Ian Mcrobbie, look to have successful times ahead.

Germany dominated the team championship, headed by Semmieke Rothenberger aboard Geisha, a 13-year-old Danish-bred mare by Gribaldi, scoring an outstanding 76.35%

In soaring temperatures reaching highs of 40 degrees, all four riders gave their all in the Junior Individual Test. Once more, Erin and Bolsan B lead the Brits with another assured performance. Erin expressed her delight via Facebook: “Another incredible day! ‘Sonny’ and I scored 68.31% in the individual test this morning! We managed to be best Brit yet again despite two large mistakes! I’m so proud of him this week. He’s been so grown up and coped with this heat amazingly.”

Amber and Labiat scored 67.21%, Charlotte and Sabatini 65.57% and Chloe and Kaja Di Valentina, 64.23%.

The individual championship test went to Germany’s Hannah Erbe and Carlos 609, an eight-year-old Rhinelander gelding by Carabas, out of a Weltmeyer mare. The pair scored 78.02%. None of the British riders qualified for the freestyle championship which was won by Spain’s Juan Matute Guimon aboard Dhannie Ymas, an eight-year-old Hanoverian gelding by Don Crusador. Juan scored 81.60% to make history as the first Spanish youth rider ever to win an individual medal.

It was a team of firsts for the young riders heading out to France for the Championships at Vidauban. With the competition marking 18-year-old Becky Edwards and 19-year-old Robyn Smith’s first ever Europeans, the girls were reliant on the previous experience of team mates Charlotte Fry and Claire Gallimore who, although enjoying the championships for the first time as young riders, have gained great exposure to the competition as junior and pony riders.

First, to decide the team honours, were the team tests and it was Glaswegian, Robyn Smith who was first to go for GBR. Riding Gail Smith’s 17-year-old British-bred gelding, Foold Uz in a sweltering heat of 35 degrees, the pair scored a solid 68.13% – a strong start for the team. Originally first reserve for the young rider team, Claire Gallimore – who is currently based with the Bartels in the Netherlands – stepped up to the plate just two weeks before the competition as Anna Lawson withdrew her horse, Bryan, from selection. Riding her mother’s ten-year-old Scandic-sired mare, Annette Ballerina, she notched up a score of 66.78%.

“Bella felt amazing in the warm up and I was really excited to go in,” announced Claire from her Facebook page. “When we went into the arena she was a little bit spooky. The trot work was strong resulting in us being on 69% when I went into the walk however the work was too tense so I lost a lot of marks. The canter work was good but a few of expensive mistakes, resulting on us ending up of 66.7%. I was so proud of how Bella coped in the heat and feel that it was a positive first performance.”

Despite some costly mistakes, Becky Edwards and Dr Margaret Cox’s 14-year-old Portugese stallion, Ufano gave their all in the team test to score 66.52%. Last to go, Charlotte Fry and her partner, Rosemary Shewen’s athletic 11-year-old Flemmingh-sired gelding, Z Flemmenco (pictured) showed their experience at the championships – the pair competed last year as a junior combination – posting a personal best of 69.21%.

“Dinky [Z Flemmenco] and I posted a personal best in the Young Rider team test of 69.21% at the European Championships!” exclaimed Charlotte via her Facebook. “I had an amazing ride and Dinky felt awesome, even though I was riding in around 36 degrees he coped so well!”

A strong result for GBR in the team test but the immense standard of the competition meant that it was not high enough to claim a medal, placing us into seventh. Gold went to Germany, closely followed by the Netherlands in second and Sweden in third.

Over the further two days of individual tests, all four young riders improved on their previous days’ percentages. Despite the raising temperatures (40 degrees!), Becky and Ufano jumped eight places, landing in 27th with their score of 68.34% with Robyn and Foold Uz following behind, scoring 68.31%. Claire and Bella were also on the up, showing great scope for the future with their mark of 67.78%. However, it was Charlotte and Dinky who were the star performers, notching up another personal best of 70.07% to claim 15thand a place through to the freestyle where they scored 68.87%.

Spectacular Opening Ceremony….Aachen 2015

Posted on by
July 7, 2015

Uwe Brandt would have preferred not to reveal anything at all, he said the people should come and see for themselves. But, then, he decided whetting the appetite is totally okay and briefly outlined the highlights of the show: “Lots of faces from Aachen, its history, some of the top equestrian athletes are going to be there and we are betting on spectacular effects,” explained Brandt. On Tuesday evening, , August 11th, the European Championships will open in Aachen with an exceptional show.

The history of equestrian sport in Aachen dates back to the year 1898. It is Uwe Brandt’s job to convey this fantastic tradition in unforgettable images in the Main Stadium. In his position as Director of the Aachen Grenzlandtheater, he is responsible for the dramaturgy of the Opening Ceremony at the European Championships. “It is super that we have him on board,” said Frank Kemperman, Chairman of Aachen-Laurensberger Rennverein (ALRV), organisers of the event. Work on the concept for the big show started months ago. In the meantime, everything that is going to happen on the evening of August 11th, has been finalised, but the organisers don’t want to reveal too much.

Nevertheless, they did disclose a few snippets for example that the history of Aachen will be enacted in a colourful manner. 1,000 people will be involved and over 300 horses. Old disciplines such as pair jumping or side-saddle riding will be presented in historical costumes and of course not to forget horse racing, after all that is what it all started with almost 120 years ago. The riders of the big Quadrille of the state-run studs will be clad in historical costumes. The heroes of the equestrian sport will also play a major role, for example, Hans Günter Winkler will be present, together with Paul Schockemöhle and Nelson Pessoa. And how will they be involved in the show? “No comment”, smirked Brandt. Once this summer evening starts getting dark, light effects will also come into play. Of course, a prominent guest will officially open the European Championships, the participating nations will be presented and the five European Championship disciplines illustrated. Supported by drummers, mounted on horseback the four elements will race into the surely most famous equestrian sport arena in the world at a breath-taking speed. “It is going to be spectacular,” said Uwe Brandt, “but also really emotional too, in short: an unforgettable evening at the Soers.“

By British Dressage

The Pavo Cup pre-selection is back for a fourth year, taking place during the Festival of Dressage at Hartpury College, Gloucestershire on 10 July 2015. The most prestigious young horse competition in the Netherlands, the Pavo Cup is a competition for talented four and five-year-old dressage horses,.

Together, KWPN and Hartpury Festival of Dressage have organised the Pavo Cup pre-selection giving the opportunity for riders/owners to show off their gifted youngsters to the Pavo Cup judges on home ground, with the best qualifying for the semi-finals, held at the KWPN Championships in Ermelo, the Netherlands.

Horses are evaluated in groups of two as they perform various dressage movements in front of an experienced panel of KWPN judges. Four-year-olds are required to show the walk, trot and canter in both directions, as well as a few strides of medium trot, medium canter and leg yield. Five-year-olds must show the basic gaits, plus extended trot, extended canter and shoulder-in. Horses are judged in their basic gaits, carriage & elasticity, overall impression and functionality & correctness of conformation.

The most successful studbook on the WBFSH rankings, many breeders and riders in the UK have fallen for the charm, rideability and quality of KWPN horses. With Valegro, Uthopia, Totilas, Parzival and Undercover all bred under the KWPN flag, the Pavo Cup pre-selection is a must-see event to catch potential future superstars.

For more information on the competition, including eligibility, requirements and tests, visit the KWPN website.

Tori Colvin Tops Hunterdon Cup on Day One of U.S. Junior Hunter National Championship East Coast

Posted on by

July 7, 2015
By: Emily Riden

Tori Colvin topped 76 other entries to win the Hunterdon Equitation Cup Classic
Tori Colvin topped 76 other entries to win the Hunterdon Equitation Cup Classic

Devon, PA – July 6, 2015 – On Sunday, Tori Colvin was earning major jumper victories in Tryon, North Carolina. Fast-forward less than 24 hours and one drive through the night with her mother, and the 17-year-old from Loxahatchee, Florida was winning every class she was entered in at the 2015 U.S. Junior Hunter National Championship East Coast, hosted by the Brandywine Valley Summer Series.

Colvin arrived at the Devon Horse Show grounds, home of the 2015 Junior Hunter Finals, at 4 a.m. Monday, and by the end of the day she had claimed three victories, including an impressive win in the 2015 USHJA Hunterdon Equitation Cup Classic presented by Intermont Equestrian at Emory & Henry College.

A starting field of 76 entries competed over Skip Bailey’s first course in the unique class that combines the precision of equitation with the handiness of the hunters. Following the conclusion of the classic round, the top 20 riders advanced to the handy round.

At the end of the first round it was Ashton Alexander who held the lead position, having earned a first round score of 89 as just the second to go in the class, but in the second round, it was Colvin’s time to shine.

The handy course presented riders with a large number of options, including options for the directions from which they took the first two fences. Following the first two fences, riders were asked to move up to a strong hand gallop to the third fence before quickly being forced to collect to clear a skinny gate and continue over the six additional remaining fences.

Colvin and her mount, Dr. Betsee Parker’s Clearway, maneuvered a very handy, direct approach to the first two fences and turned in a beautiful trip that would shoot them to the top of the leader board with a score of 98 and a two round total of 186.

“Since I was coming in second, only by one point, we thought we should just go for it,” Colvin said. “We know he’s a very handy horse. We knew that once we landed [off of fence two] we could just gallop and go as fast as he can, and he collects easily for the gate. We made a plan for him in the handy, and it worked out well.”

Judge Jack Towell said, “I thought [Ashton Alexander] was one point better than [Tori Colvin] the first round, but the second round when [Tori] came in I was waiting on [her] do to that. That worked out perfectly, and it was over with after [she] did that. When you have a handy course, Ronnie Mutch always taught me, walk the handy-est then see what you can do. She knew she could do that.”

Alexander would hold on to a strong second place spot with a two round total score of 181. At the end of the handy round, the top ten were as follows:

1)     Tori Colvin
2)     Ashton Alexander
3)     Coco Fath
4)     Shannon Hogue
5)     Annabel Revers
6)     Thea Chafee
7)     Samantha Cohen
8)     Victoria Pres
9)     Hayley Iannotti
10)   Gabrielle Bendall

Following the completion of the second round, judges were to bring back between four and 10 riders for a third round of testing. Judges Towell and Rachel Kennedy elected to bring back the top four to jump fences one through eight again but with a twist – they were asked to swap horses.

Hogue and Fath swapped, giving Hogue the ride aboard Fath’s mounth, Carte Blanche, owned by Hillside Farm LLC, and Fath the ride on Hogue’s Wrigley. Alexander picked up the ride on Clearway, and Colvin rode Don Stewart’s Fernway Park. Each rider was given two minutes in the schooling ring and the opportunity to jump just two fences before going into the show ring.

Hogue and Fath both executed the first eight fences well, and it came down to Alexander and Colvin. Alexander was the first to come back, following receiving a little bit of advice from Colvin.

Colvin said, “I told her that he’s really tired, but he’s also really handy. His lead change she practiced in the schooling ring. That’s his only little quirk is his little hop through his change.”

Alexander handled the mount well, but she saw a long distance to the hand gallop fence and Clearway landed playful bucking off the other side. Then it came down to Colvin.

“In the second round, it just worked out where all you had to be was just careful enough,” Towell said to Colvin.

And Colvin was more than careful; she turned in another beautiful round.

“I don’t really know that horse – I hadn’t really watched it do the equitation,” Colvin said. “[Ashton] said to me that he’s kind of a bit sensitive, and he would probably buck after the jumps. I thought ‘let’s not use leg!’ When I got on him in the schooling ring, he felt sort of like a big pony. I love ponies, and I have a lot of experience with ponies, so when I went in there I sort of just marched along. You just march and turn him, and he was really easy for me to ride. So that was a fun ride to get.”

As Colvin cleared the final fence it was evident that the victory should be hers.

“You’re dealing with super stars,” Towell said. “It’s just nice to judge these shows. It’s an honor, and it’s fun. It was a lovely class to judge. All of the riders were great. I saw some really nice horses. It was a good experience judging.”

Third place went to Hogue while fourth was awarded to Fath, and Annabel Revers rounded out the top five.

“It’s always an honor to watch Tori, and it’s always an honor to watch Ashton,” Kennedy said. “It was my pleasure to pin that class today. It was nice to see kids and hear names that I haven’t ever heard before, beside Tori and Ashton and the usual top kids in the top ten. It was really, really nice and really good training and the kids were ready.”

Prior to her Hunterdon Cup victory, Colvin’s day had already gotten off to a winning start. Throughout the morning, junior hunter riders completed their classic rounds, which account for 40 percent of their overall Junior Hunter Finals scores.

Colvin topped both the $4,000 Small Junior 16-17 Classic and the $4,000 Large Junior 16-17 Classic. Colvin’s wins came aboard Dr. Betsee Parker’s Ovation and Way Cool, in the small and large division respectively. Other classic round winners in the 3’6″ divisions included Daisy Farish and Bill Schaub’s Carasco in the $4,000 Small Junior 15 and Under Classic and Emma Kurtz and Frederick, owned by David Gochman, in the $4,000 Large Junior 15 and Under Classic.

In the 3’3″ divisions, 79 total entries competed in the $2,000 Junior Hunter 15 and Under Classic and the $2,000 Junior Hunter 16-17 Classic. Coming out on top in the 15 and Under class were Sophia Pilla and Piccolino Farm LLC’s CC Cool, while the victory in the 16-17 Classic went to Autumn Janesky on her own Temptation.

Riders return to the Dover Arena Tuesday morning at 7 a.m. to compete under saddle and over the handy round course. Under saddle scores will account for 20 percent of each horse’s overall total, while the handy round accounts for the remaining 40 percent.

PAN-AMERICAN GAMES 2015 – DRESSAGE PREVIEW

Dressage gets equestrian events underway at 2015 Pan-Americans

By Louise Parkes

 

With definite entries now confirmed, a total of 44 horse-and-rider combinations from 16 nations will line out in Dressage when the equestrian action gets underway at the Pan-American Games 2015 in OLG Caledon Pan Am Equestrian Park in Toronto, Canada next Saturday, 11 July.

 

The Pan-American Games are the world’s largest multi-sport event apart from the summer Olympic Games, and take place on a four-year cycle leading up to each summer Olympics. The Pan-Ams provide Olympic qualification opportunities for athletes in FEI geographical regions D and E – North America and Central/South America.

 

Approximately 6,135 athletes from 41 nations will compete in 36 sports at this 17th edition of the event which runs from 10 to 26 July. And a record 45% of competitors are expected to be female, the most ever for any multi-sport event. The Games will also be the largest multi-sport event ever held in Canada, with double the number of athletes that competed in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

 

The equestrian programme also includes Jumping and Eventing. The deadline for definite entries for these two disciplines is Monday 13 July.

 

Single qualifying spot

 

A total of 10 nations – Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, USA and Venezuela – will line out in the Dressage Team competition, but only four will be eligible for the single qualifying spot on offer for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. With teams made up of a combination of Big Tour and Small Tour pairs, only Argentina, Canada, Mexico and the USA can make the cut directly, as they are armed with the required Grand Prix-level partnerships.

 

However, apart from the single team spot up for grabs, countries can also qualify if three strong individual performances provide them with the option of creating a “composite” team.

 

The American record at the Pan-Americans has long been outstanding, and at the last edition staged in Guadalajara, Mexico in 2011 they returned a record-breaking fourth consecutive team victory and filled all three steps of the individual Dressage medal podium as well.

 

Cruised confidently

 

They cruised confidently into pole position in the team event ahead of the silver medallists from Canada, while Colombia claimed the bronze. And Steffen Peters set a new Pan-American Games record when posting a mark of 80.132 with Weltino’s Magic in the team competition before claiming individual gold ahead of Heather Blitz with Paragon in silver and Marisa Festerling and Big Tyme in bronze. It was a thoroughly convincing performance at all levels, and anchorman Peters was the linchpin of the US side.

He will fill that role once again this time around, partnering Legolas, the horse that gave the home fans so much to cheer about when the pair finished third in the Grand Prix at the Reem Acra FEI World Cup™ Dressage 2015 Final in Las Vegas, USA in April.

Ones to beat

The 2011 result brought the US tally to seven team and eight individual Dressage Pan-American titles, and there is little doubt that they are the ones to beat. Peters will be joined by Laura Graves (Verdades), Kimberly Herslow (Rosmarin) and Sabine Schut-Kery (Sanceo) in the bid to further improve the already-impressive US strike-rate.

Canada sends out Brittany Fraser (All In), Megan Lane (Caravella), Beldina Trussell (Anton) and Chris Von Martels (Zilverstar), while Argentina will be represented by Cesar Lopardo Grana (Tyara), Micaela Mabragana (Granada), Maria Florencia Manfredi (Bandurria Kacero) and Maria Juliana Ugalde (Caquel Cautivo). The Mexican side consists of Jose Luis Padilla Moreno (Donnersberg), Jesus Enrique Palacios (Wizard Banamex), Bernadette Pujals (Heslegaards Rolex) and Mariana Quintana Rivero (Guapo).

Meanwhile the Brazilian team includes Joao Victor Marcari Oliva whose mother, Hortencia Marcari, is a sporting icon in her home country and Vice-President of the Brazilian Olympic Athletes Commission. The Basketball legend was a member of Brazil’s winning team at the 1994 FIBA World Championship before going on to clinch Olympic silver two years later in Atlanta, USA, so her son is following in a strong sporting tradition.

Taking to the stage

Individuals from Bermuda, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Honduras, Puerto Rico and Uruguay will also be taking to the stage as Dressage gets the 2015 equestrian events underway at 09.00 local time next Saturday morning.

“We are thrilled with the development of Dressage in the Americas”, FEI Director Dressage and Para-Equestrian Dressage Trond Asmyr said. “For the first time at the Pan-American Games some of the riders will compete at the same level as in the Olympic Games. This also makes the qualifications for the Olympics more in line with the rest of the world.”
