Denmark: Hot for Hot Shot

10 March 2014

This year’s winner of the Blue Hors Young Dressage Horse Championship was popular with both the judges and test rider Carl Hester – both parties awarded 10.0 for Hot Shot W

After three days of testing the horses, Danish Warmblood has now found a new Young Horse Champion: Hot Shot W by Blue Hors Hotline/Kawango, bred by Lisbeth Holm, owned by Helgstrand Dressage, and ridden by Spanish Severo Jurado Lopez. The judges particularly praised the horse’s trot which they described as elastic and elegant – 10.0. Test rider Carl Hester was also impressed:

– It is a horse that moves uphill, is easy on the reins, and has a lot of self-carriage. The trot is fantastic, the walk correct and relaxed, and the canter uphill, even though you could wish for a bit more jump from the hindquarters. It is a lovely horse to ride, I love riding it, he said.

Carl Hester gave Hot Shot W 10.0 for rideability and 9.0 for capacity, making the Blue Hors Hotline son’s final score 928 points.

Gasolin by Blue Hors Doolittle/Tiberias, bred and owned by Munkedal Horses, was awarded 9.0 for trot and capacity from Carl Hester and placed second. In third place we found Lady Gaga by Quaterback/Solos Landwind. The mare is bred by Johannes Søndergård and owned by Team Møllen and she scored 8.0 for rideability and 8.5 for capacity.
