The best of Danish breeding is exhibited at the Danish Warmblood Elite Show at Vilhelmsborg where regionally selected foals, 2-year-old fillies and saddle-graded mares compete to win the champion titles in the breeding categories dressage or show jumping. Saturday afternoon four foal champions have been appointed.

Among the show jumping foals the champion filly title was granted the elegant grey filly Clarima by Clarimo x Carmargue bred by HH Horses, a breeder that is also known for his exceptional dressage horses. Clarima excelled with a supple, practical and powerful canter. Her dam is a former winner of the Danish Warmblod championship for show jumping horses, and the dam as well as the grand dam are mothers of approved stallions.

Champion colt foal among the show jumpers, Ain’t He Special S by Action Man Ask x Cassini I from the breeders Sally-Ann & Flemming Schultz. This sporty, masculine and large-framed colt with a powerful and well-balanced canter is out of an exceptionally successful dam line and his dam, Coco Chanell S has for a number of years been the highest ranked show jumping mare in the DWB breeding values.

A noble and light-footed foal named Vilard’s Frina took the title Dressage Filly Foal of the Year. She is by Franklin x Blue Hors Don Romantic, bred by Stutteri Vilard, and is out of the same damline as the international champion stallion Global Player. Frina danced her way through the finals to win her champion title.

An exceptionally attractive and and very elegant dark chestnut earned the title Dressage Colt Foal of the Year. This tall, noble and large-framed foal with very supple and ground-covering, rhythmic gaits is a full brother of the premium stallion Giovanni Bell. He is name Grand  Quest-Bell and is by Grand Galaxy Win x Blue Hors Don Romantic and is bred by Tina & Nicolai Jepsen.

Sunday at the Danish Warmblood Elite Show is totally devoted to the evaluation of 2-year-old fillies and young saddle-graded mares.
