Intet VM i Ridesport i Herning uden et stort antal af frivillige. Der er et utal af opgaver, som skal løses, og de frivillige er klar hvad enten det gælder at tjekke billetter eller indsamle citater fra de deltagende ryttere – og de laver alt derimellem.
Herning2022’s maskot Henri har lagt navn til vores gruppe af frivillige, Henri’s Heroes, og sammen med hans ven Hugo samlede han i dag en stor del af de frivillige til fællesfotos.

There would not be World Championships in Herning without the volunteers. There are many tasks to solve, and the volunteers are ready. They are checking tickets; they collect quotes for the press from the riders and everything in between.
Herning2022’s mascot Henri has named the volunteer group, Henri’s Heroes, and together with his friend Hugo he gathered a big part of the group for a team photo.

The prize podium once again filled up with new rising stars on young extremely talented horses. The future of dressage looks bright as both riders and horses are very gifted for the sport of dressage. Gold to British rider Charlotte Fry, silver to home rider Cathrine Laudrup-Dufour and bronze yet again to Dinja van Liere from the Netherlands.
Dressage supernovas danced under the full moon in floodlight in the Blue Hors FEI World Dressage Grand Prix Freestyle Championship Wednesday evening. A clear sky and a warm summer breeze filled Stutteri Ask Stadium with expectations right from the start. Close to 10,000 spectators listened and watched fifteen combinations do a dressage dance to tunes of their own choosing. And the crowd was on fire right from the start, their support would lift up a number of combinations but also prove to be too much of a challenge for a chosen few.
Many riders performed at their very best level during the last class in dressage of ECCO FEI World Championship in Herning. In total 13 out of 15 combinations scored over 80 percent and that speaks volumes about the quality of the whole class.
Swedish rider Patrik Kittel and Danish Daniel Bachmann Andersen took their 10-year-old horses to new heights finishing on 7th and 8th place respectively. They even overtook Isabell Werth on DSP Quantaz performing to classic pop tunes, doing a piaffe pirouette to “It’s a heartache” by Bonnie Tyler and finishing om 10th place.
Adrienne Lyle and stallion Salvino looked sharper and sharper day by day and really rocked the Stutteri Ask Stadium enjoying the interaction with the crowd. Gareth Hughes made his best ride to date with Classic Briolinca and finished 5th in the freestyle, his best placing as an individual.
Benjamin Werndl has gained a lot of praise for his smooth harmonious riding and even if he ended up in what some refer to as the worst placing, being number 4, he and Famoso have enjoyed their first taste of senior championships and will aim for more.
Gold medallist Charlotte Fry and Glamourdale rode to a very crowd-pleasing potpourri of pop songs, rocking every step down the centre line. The black stallion has a canter with immense lift and airtime, showing off in extensions and tempi changes as well as piaffe and passage and trot extension – the list of quality movement never end. The judged rewarded their ride with 90.654 percent.
Dinja van Liere and Hermés were performing to the cheer of the crowd and the stallion was coping like a really experienced dressage horse showing of his talent and quality gaits. When reaching the finishing line, Dinja threw her fist in the air; We really did it. With 86,90 percent it was enough for yet another bronze medal.
Last to go was Cathrine Laudrup-Dufour and her lovely pocket rocket Vamos Amigos. They rode their floorplan with really high difficulty to the theme from Les Misérables and showed their fluency, softness and perfect collection in movement by movement. The audience followed her last lines with rhythmic applause and if there had been a roof on the Stutteri Ask Stadium by her graceful last halt – it would have blown right off. A good ride, nearly perfect, 89.411 percent and a silver medal to bring home.
A supernova has risen in the sky in Herning, her name is Charlotte Fry and her steed is a black stallion named Glamourdale.

103 riders from 35 different nations and 22 team-nations started in the first competition of the championships, and what a competition. All the riders really did all they could to deliver a great round, and the reigning Olympic champions from Sweden ended doing best. With Henrik von Eckermann and Peder Fredricson delivering perfect clear rounds, and with Jens Fredricsons round added from the first part of the competition the Swedes once again manage to ride into the top of a championship.
“It was a really great start for the team, and we are in the lead position after today, but it is a long week so we will take one day at a time”, said Peder Fredricson, who is individual placed preliminary as number 4. The Swedes are for sure a top showjumping nation with a gold medal from Tokyo last year, a silver medal from the last world championships and lots of great results both individual and for teams.
It is also looking really good for the French team who is just behind the Swedes. Even though Kevin Staut was unlucky to fall of his horse during his ride, the team result ended up well. Just behind the French team we find Belgium, a very strong team where all four riders delivered almost perfect rounds today.
“I made my own plan since my horse has small strides, but today she had bigger strides than normal, so we went as fast as possible without going crazy fast”, Nicola Philippaerts said after his ride. He is the best placed Belgian rider after today, as number 7.
A Frenchman in the lead individually
It was not only the team results the riders were riding for today, because the competition is also a part of the individual championship. It was French Julien Epaillard who was the fastest today. With his horse Caracole de la Roque by Zandor Z he managed to stop the time at 79.08 seconds, just a bit faster than Scott Brash preliminary placed second and Martin Fuchs preliminary placed third.
“I had a good start and my horses felt super today. We had planned and I followed the plan, and my horse jumps everything with great scope. Sometimes she reacts to the audience, but she was felling super today”, Julien said after his ride.
British Scott Brash was also superfast today with his amazing gelding Hello Jefferson, who he finished 7 on at the Olympics last year. They were less than half a second below Epaillard and is therefore bringing only 0.23 faults into tomorrow’s competition. Within the fault-difference of one fence, 37 riders are placed, so everything can happen in the individual championship as well.

Home nation rode for a good start
It started out looking good for the home team starting with two clear rounds delivered by Lars Bak Andersen and Emil Hallundbæk. Unfortunately, Linnnea Ericsson-Carey had problems with the open water, and Andreas Schou had unluckily two fences down after such a great try around the course. The home nation is placed as number 16, but everything is open until after tomorrow, where we know for a fact if the home nation will get a spot in the top-10 final Friday. Emil Hallundbæk is best placed home rider with only 3.13 faults from today’s competition.
Lovely course
The course designer, Dutch Louis Konickx and his team of assistants, including the Dutch Quintin Maertens, did a great job building todays course. During the course, the riders had to jump three doubles, but no triple, as we often see in the championship courses. It was designed to make the riders ride forward and turn, exactly like a speed competition should work out. A lot of the riders gave their compliments for the building.
“It is a beautiful arena, and it was a great course today. The course designer did such a good job”, Brazil’s Pedro Veniss told today after finishing of a fast round with one rail down.
Tomorrow the team championships as well as the individual championship continuous. It is tomorrow we will find out which nations there will participate in the team final on Friday, which is open for the top-10 placed nations after tomorrow.
Preliminary result individuals.

After two days with Horse Inspections and familiarisation, today it was finally time for the first Para Dressage competitions and medals at the ECCO FEI World Championships.
Grade I – the DJ took a historic gold medal for Latvia
Rihards Snikus rode a flawless test in front of enthusiastic fans cheering on after his test. He is a DJ in his civilian life and rode his King of Dance to an amazing score of 78.535 percent in a really tight battle, only separated by few points, with Italy’s star rider Sara Morganti on Royal Delight. The bronze was a dream come true for Irish rider Michael Murphy, coming out of the arena very pleased with his Cleverboy, doing good on his name.
The competition had ten riders over 70 percent, so it was a really competitive grade and class under blazing sun at the beautiful BB Arena where spectators were flowing in and out of the stands during the day.

Several really experienced combinations entered in Grade II, and it was an extremely narrow battle for the top placings as less than one percent separated a bronze from a gold. Danish hope Katrine Kristiansen made all the wishes for a medal to the hosting nation come true.
Highly experienced and skilled multi medalist Pepo Puch from Austria took the lead with a good performance scoring over 75 percent. He was followed by fellow fierce competitor since many years Lee Pearson who really tried his heart out and nearly succeeded, just fractions behind in the scores.
The two seniors had to stand aside as Katrine Kristiansen put in a superb ride and overtook the lead. Pepo Puch said it all; “We need this fierce competition, it is sport”.

En fantastisk dag for dansk ridesport blev onsdag aften afsluttet med manér med Individual Grand Prix Freestyle under Floodlight i et tætpakket Stutteri Ask Stadium.
De sidste VM-medaljer i dressur ved VM i Herning skulle finde deres rette ejermand eller -kvinde.
Mens mørket faldt på, spidsede duellen om medaljerne til.
Og der skulle rides til høje procenter, hvis man ville gøre sig forhåbning om at blive en af de tre på podiet.
Den nykårede verdensmester i Grand Prix Special Charlotte Fry på kun 26 år og hingsten Glamourdale rockede stadion med musik af bl.a. Queen, Phil Collins og Robbie Williams. Dens kraftfulde galop fik dommerne til at kaste om sig med 10-tallene, og det samlede resultat endte på fænomenale 90.654 %
“Vi hyggede os begge i aften, selv publikum sang med på vores musik.”
Charlotte Fry
Fokusset lyste ud af Cathrine Laudrup-Dufours øjne, da hun red ind.
Vamos Amigos så tændt og klar ud, mens hans udførte udtryksfulde passager og piaffer. I skridtdelen viste vallakken, at han er en verdenshest. Afslappet og helt upåvirket.
Derefter fortsatte parret i galop, hvor kommentator Bjarne Nielsen synes, Vamos krøllede sig en anelse sammen.
Parret sluttede af med mere passage og piaffe, inden tilskuerne brød ud i jubel.
89.411 %, hvilket rakte til en velfortjent sølvmedalje. Parrets tredje medalje ved VM på hjemmebane.
“Han var hot, hot derinde i dag. Jeg har aldrig oplevet sådan et publikum som derinde. Det er fantastisk for sporten, at Chalotte red, som hun gjorde,” slog Dufour fast over for DR.
Hollandske Dinja van Liere og Hermes har haft et super VM, der blev kronet med en smuk kür. 86.900 % gav dommerne ekvipagen, hvilket udløste en bronzemedalje.

Danmark havde, ud over Cathrine, to kvalificerede rytter til den storslåede finaleaften, hvor rytterne selv havde sammensat et program til musik.
Se herunder, hvordan det gik danskerne:
Heiline’s Danciera og Carina red et Grand Prix Special-program til 75,426% i mandags. Og med en VM-guldmedalje for hold i bagagen oveni var de klar til at give den gas i küren.
Den 11-årige hoppe dansede sig gennem testen, hvor musikken ganske passende er fra forskellige dansefilm.
Bjarne Nielsen havde stor ros til overs for piafferne, der ellers har været parrets eneste “svaghed” under VM i Herning.
“Rummelig skridt med god funktion i ryggen,” indskød han endvidere.
Desværre indløb der et par fejl i changementerne, men det fjernede ikke fokus fra det dejlige helhedsindtryk af ekvipagen.
82.143 % blev resultatet – hvor især det kunstneriske indtryk trak op.
“Det var fuldstændig vanvittigt herinde i arenaen. Min hest kan godt tåle, at de klapper,” sagde Carina om folks eufori.
“Det er meget forskelligt, hvad ryttere foretrækker. Min hest elsker det, og jeg synes bare, vi skulle have en fest. Men det var mega irriterende, at vi lavede fejl i changementerne, men sådan er det.”
Den 32-årige berider og 10-årige Marshall-Bell gjorde sin entre efter pausen i den vibrerende atmosfære.
Med en ganske ny kür, der skulle symbolisere op-og nedture samt det gode og onde, kom parret energisk fra land.
Bjarne Nielsen var positiv over for Marshalls passage i dag:
“Det er virkelig fint, fordi for- og bagben hænger sammen”.
Selv om vallakken er sensitiv, slappede han alligevel godt af i skridten – på trods af de usædvanlige omgivelser på fodboldstadionet.
Galopdelen havde flere svære momenter med bl.a. galopøgning direkte over i en pirouette.
Det store smil afslørede Daniels kæmpe tilfredshed med küren, da han red op ad midterlinjen, mens publikum rejste sig og klappede.
83.464 % blev den flotte score fra de syv dommere.
“Det var fantastisk, bare fantastisk. Publikum var intet mindre end fantastiske.
Marshall var lidt træt i dag, denne uge har budt på en masse nye indtryk for ham, men han har været så god. Og at få chancen for at ride her, det er specielt. Et minde for livet,” sagde den sympatiske rytter efterfølgende.

Horsemanship, achievements and training
The award – a memorial silver plate and 25.000,- DKK – was presented by HRH Princess Benedikte, Lis Hartels grandchild Nicole Siesbye Surh and Vice President Carsten Lorentzen from The Danish Friends of Dressage Association Carsten Lorentzen said about Nathalie:
The Danish Friends of Dressage Association has the great pleasure of presenting the ‘2022 Lis Hartel Memorial Award’ to Nathalie zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg, in honour of her achievements in and promotion of dressage riding and good horsemanship.
Nathalie has attained worldwide respect for her achievements and sportsmanship. With many years of experience as international dressage rider, Nathalie won several Danish Championships and helped secure the team bronze medal at the Olympics Games in Hong Kong in 2008, Denmark’s first Olympic team medal. She also achieved great success in training her homebred horses up to international Grand Prix level.
As a board member of the International Dressage Riders Club, Nathalie has always actively supported riders and advocated for the welfare of horses. While training the Danish dressage team, she combined her in-depth knowledge and experience in dressage, and devoted her energy in providing reliable and trustworthy support to the riders.
A sincere advocate for well-educated horses, she stays true to her principle of “getting there, slowly”. Founded on a well-thought-out plan she always gives young and upcoming horses time to develop and mature, thus laying the foundation for a “happy athlete”.
It is fair to say that Nathalie has had a very positive influence on the success of Danish Dressage and has earned respect world-wide, as well as in Denmark. Many congratulations with this year’s 2022 Lis Hartels Memorial Award.
About The Danish Friends of Dressage Association
The association was founded in 2007 by HRH Princess Benedikte and aims to support Danish dressage at all levels. Every year, the Lis Hartels Memorial Award is given to a person who has made an extraordinary contribution to Danish dressage.
Horsemanship, præstationer og træning
Prisen – et sølvfad og 25.000,- kr. – blev overrakt af HKH Prinsesse Benedikte, Lis Hartels barnebarn Nicole Siesbye Surh og næstformand Carsten Lorentzen fra Dressurens Venner. Carsten Lorentzen sagde om Nathalie:
Dressurens Venner har den store fornøjelse at tildele “Lis Hartels Mindepris 2022” til Nathalie zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg for hendes dressurpræstationer, fremme af dressurridning og horsemanship.
Nathalie har opnået verdensomspændende respekt for sine præstationer og sportsånd, samt mange års erfaring som international dressurrytter, hvor hun vandt flere DM’er og var med til at sikre holdbronze ved OL i Hong Kong i 2008, Danmarks første OL-holdmedalje. Hun har også opnået stor succes med at træne sine hjemmeavlede heste op til internationalt Grand Prix-niveau.
Som bestyrelsesmedlem i ”International Dressage Riders Club” har Nathalie altid aktivt støttet ryttere og talt for hestevelfærd. Som landstræner for det danske dressurhold kombinerede hun sin dybdegående viden og dressurerfaring med sin store energi og blev en pålidelig og troværdig støtte for rytterne.
Hun er en oprigtig fortaler for veluddannede heste, og hun forbliver tro mod sit princip om “at komme dertil, langsomt”. Hun arbejder efter gennemtænkt plan, hvor hun altid giver unge og kommende heste den tid, de skal bruge til at udvikle sig og modnes, og dermed lægger hun altid grundlaget for at skabe en “glad atlet”.
Det er kun rimeligt at sige, at Nathalie har haft en meget positiv indflydelse på succesen i dansk dressur, hvilket har opnået stor respekt i både Danmark og udlandet.
Stort tillykke med årets 2022 Lis Hartels Mindepris.
Om Dressurens Venner
Foreningen Dressurens Venner blev grundlagt i 2007 af HKH Prinsesse Benedikte og har til formål at støtte dansk dressur på alle niveauer. Hvert år tildeles Lis Hartels Mindepris til en person, der har gjort en ekstraordinær indsats for dansk dressursport.
Intet mindre end 35 nationer er samlet ved verdensmesterskaberne i springning, som onsdag gik i gang i Herning.
Den danske team består af: Lars Bak Andersen, Emil Hallundbæk, Linnea Ericsson-Carey, Andreas Schou
Første konkurrencedags klasse foregår efter metode C – altså hvor tid og evt. fejl bliver omregnet til en samlet score.
Se hvordan de danske ryttere klarede sig herunder:
Lars Bak Andersen
Lars Bak Andersen og Carl-Heinz B var fejlfrie på den store bane. Efter klassen sagde han:
“Det var en fantastisk følelse at komme ind i arenaen – jeg havde en fantastisk følelse. Jeg havde en god opvarmning, og alt gik som vi havde planlagt det. Det var en god start for vores hold.”
Emil Hallundbæk
Også Emil Hallundbæk kom fejlfrit gennem banen. Sammen med Chalisco blev det til en fin tid på 85.33 sekunder.
“Det var en fantastisk følelse at komme ind i arenaen – det gav et adrenalinsus! Men det får dig også til at fokusere på grund af presset. Der er en vild stemning på stadion – bare vildt!”
Linnea Ericsson-Carey
Sammen med Skorphults Baloutendro var hun fejlfri indtil vandgraven. Her refuserede den 11-årige hest desværre, og der efter faldt to bomme. Resultatet blev omregnet til 135.06 sekunder. Efterfølgende blev de desværre diskvalificeret – ifølge Ridehesten.com fordi de havde overskredet maksimum-tiden.
Andreas Schou
Dagens sidste dansker var samtidig også klassens tredjesidste. Andreas Schou og Darc de Lux har haft en helt optimal opvarmning til VM. Parret har i løbet af foråret og sommeren redet nul flere gange i 160 cm-klasser – og i 2021 var de med til OL i Tokyo.
Desværre blev til to nedrivninger for dem i dag. Resultat blev derfor på 91.91 sekunder.
Se resultatlisten her
Sådan forløber springkonkurrencerne
Springkonkurrencerne starter onsdag den 10. august, hvor der rides første runde efter en metode C (tidsspringning), hvor fejl omregnes til tid. Vinderen noteres for 0 fejl, mens de øvrige rytteres placering og fejl afgøres efter, hvor meget langsommere de er end den hurtigste. Torsdag rides første runde i holdkonkurrencen, som også tæller i den individuelle konkurrence. De bedste 10 hold, efter de to første konkurrencer, mødes i holdfinalen fredag, hvor der uddeles medaljer til de tre bedst placerede nationer. De 60 bedste individuelle ryttere har adgang til fredagens runde, som også tæller i den individuelle stilling. De 25 bedst placerede ryttere efter tre dages konkurrencer, skal ride om de individuelle medaljer under Agria Super Sunday den 14. august.
VM i Nations Team voltigering blev afgjort efter de otte bedste lande duellerede mod hinanden med hver deres hold og to bedste atleter.
Danmark stillede med følgende hold: Iben Dines Pedersen, bronzemedaljevinder Sheena Bendixen og Team Bis 1.

Iben Dines Pedersen blev belønnet med 7.942, mens det blev til vilde 9.127 til Sheena.
Dermed var det op til teamet Bis 1 at afgøre Nations Team-placeringen for Danmark. Hele 8.939 fik holdet (dagens bedste), og den score var altså nok til at sikre Danmark en flot sølvmedalje.
Ingen kunne komme forbi overlegne Frankrig, der også har taget guld i individuelt for herrer og kvinder i voltigering ved VM i Herning.
Dagens medaljefordeling:
Guld: Frankrig
Sølv: Danmark
Bronze: Østrig
Se pointfordelingen her
Som forberedelse til højdepunktet for dressurkonkurrencerne ved VM i Ridesport – Kür, hvor rytterne rider et program, de selv har sammensat til selvvalgt musik – trænede rytterne i aftes under det kunstige stadionlys på Stutteri Ask Stadium. Det er de 15 bedste ekvipager fra de øvrige mesterskabsklasser, der har adgang til at ride kür.
Danmark er repræsenteret med 3 ekvipager, nemlig Carina Cassøe Krüth/Heilines Danciera, Daniel Bachmann Andersen/Marshall-Bell og Cathrine Laudrup-Dufour/Vamos Amigos.
Blue Hors FEI World Dressage Grand Prix Freestyle Championship presented by Helgstrand starter i aften kl. 20.00 og afsluttes med en festlig medaljeceremoni kl. 23.00.
Kür bliver ofte sammenlignet med den olympiske disciplin isdans, hvor skøjteløberne ligeledes sammensætter deres eget program og sætter musik til. I kür er det hest og rytter, der danser sammen, og når det gøres bedst, så vil det med garanti røre selv de hårdeste af os. Hertil kommer at det tiltagende mørke kombineret med lyset fra de 4 gigantiske stadionlys vil tilføre ekstra atmosfære og stemning konkurrencen.
Et udsolgt Stutteri Ask Stadium vil være på kogepunktet, når dressurens største stjerner fra blandt andet Danmark, England, Holland, Tyskland og Sverige funkler i det kunstige lys.
/Herning2022
Katrine Kristensen var onsdag eneste danske pararytter, der skulle på banen ved VM i Herning. Først i morgen, torsdag skal Tobias Thorning Jørgensen, Karla Dyhm Junge og Nicole Johnsen vise, hvad de kan.
Katrine har kun redet Quater i ganske få måneder – hør mere om deres samarbejde her.
I dagens obligatoriske program fik de vist flotte øvelser med god takt og overgange, hvor Quater var fint fremme og opmærksom på Katrine hjælpere.

“Hun gjorde intet forkert. Hun har på rekordtid fået omskolet denne hest,” sagde TV-kommentatorerne om ekvipagens flotte ridt.
75,788% var nok til, at Katrine strøg direkte ind på en foreløbig førsteplads.
Derefter manglede kun tre deltagere i den spændende VM-konkurrence grad II.
Men ingen kunne røre den danske kvinde, der bliver trænet af Cathrine Laudrup-Dufour – og Katrine Kristensen er hermed ny verdensmester i grad II. Stort tillykke!
“Det var fantastisk at ride herinde foran publikum. Quater var frisk, men stadig fokuseret inde på banen. Han gjorde sit bedste,” sagde Katrine, da VM-guldet var en realitet.
