In 2018, Kadans achieved the title of Reserve Champion at the KWPN Licensing, where he was acquired by Helgstrand Dressage. Since then, he has been trained by our talented riders over the years. This year, as 8-years-old, our German rider, Leonie Richter, competed him in the S*** level class in Haftenkamp, achieving a score of 71.526% and winning the class.

He has for sure a bright future ahead, and we can't wait to follow his journey together with Annabella.

👀 Are you on the lookout for your next great dressage partner?

This is your chance to acquire a promising horse with great potential. Each year, we select and purchase between 100 to 150 foals. However, not all of them develop to meet the exceptional standards we aim for at the highest level, which is why we're offering these horses at auction.

All the horses up for auction are great horses with many commendable qualities. While they may not yet reach the same level as our elite horses, which we continue to train or match with our primary clientele, they are still high-quality horses that can fulfill the needs and desires of many riders 🐎

✨ We've got a variety of horses in different age groups up for auction, from 3+ - 4-year-olds that are just starting, and some that have reached the small tour level (Inter I/II).
Among these horses you will also find offspring sired by several of our renowned breeding stallions.
What's more, they come at a reasonable budget compared to our usual horses!

🐎 All auction horses come with X-rays and have undergone a thorough vet check. If you need updated X-rays, feel free to reach out to us. Our vets can provide new X-rays for a fee of 300 EUR.

🗓️ The auction starts on October 3rd – 9 am and bidup starts on October 8th – 7.30 pm.

This is your chance to become the proud owner of one of these wonderful horses 🌟

It's Friday, and that means we're wrapping up Groom Week 2023. Our grooms are absolutely fantastic, and we couldn't make our everyday life run smoothly without them. They all do a tremendous job, whether it's here at Helgstrand Denmark, in Germany, or the USA 🤍

It's also been incredibly exciting to follow our grooms on social media all week as they've taken over. Here, you could truly get a sense of how dedicated they are to their job and how much the horses mean to them – seeing everything from a groom's perspective 📲

So, thank you for following along. We hope you found it as exciting as we did, and that you've learned a bit more about what a groom does.

From all of us to all of you – Have a wonderful weekend!

Emma's role here at Helgstrand Dressage is a very important one, as it is her job to make sure that our grooms are happy and thriving 😃

She does this by having a big sister role - someone they can confide in about anything and everything from private issues to job-related things, and she is always ready with good advice and guidance regarding their job, education, and much more.

She also helps them with practical matters, especially our foreign grooms who need assistance when moving to Denmark 🇩🇰

🫶 Emma's friendly approach builds trust and open communication with our grooms.

As we celebrate our grooms this week, we also want to give Emma a pat on the back for doing an amazing job and being an invaluable part of the Helgstrand team. Thank you, Emma! 🤩

Signe, 25, has cherished horses since childhood. Her journey began at 10 when she attended Denmark's Warmblood Stallion Show. That sparked a dream: becoming a groom.

In 2017, after her EUX Business degree, she took a chance and applied to Helgstrand Dressage. To her surprise, she got an interview the next day, marking her official journey as a groom on October 10, 2017.

It was overwhelming at first, but Signe's dedication and eagerness to learn led her to groom for Betina Jæger. Together, they embarked on remarkable journeys, participating in events like CHIO in Aachen 2018, the World Championships for Young Horses 2019, and many more.

In 2020, Signe joined Danish national team rider Carina Krüth as her groom, gaining more international experience and even the Olympics in Tokyo 2021

During the pandemic, Signe pursued other paths briefly, but the call of the horses grew stronger, and in June 2023, she returned to her roots with Betina. Their partnership felt like coming home, with horses right outside her door.

Signe's journey showcases the power of passion and hard work. It reminds us that dreams can be achieved through dedication. Join us in celebrating Signe's remarkable journey from dreamer to doer.

But we can also reflect on a Bundeschampionate where we are particularly proud of the success of one of our former Helgstrand horses, namely Diafys OLD. Diafys OLD was the first horse sold from our German stable in Syke three years ago, and he was purchased by the Feldhaus family. It's been three years now, and since then, he has developed tremendously, which was truly evident at this year's Bundeschampionate 🏵️

💫 Together with his rider, Stefanie Wittmann, he won the qualification for 7-year-old dressage horses with an impressive 80.400%, and the final with a fantastic 81.078%, securing the coveted title of Bundeschampion for 7-year-old dressage horses 🇩🇪🥇💐

What a splendid day it has been here at Vilhelmsborg for the KRAFFT Danish Warmblood Elite Mare Show where the country's finest young dressage mares were up for evaluation 🐎

Two of these lovely mares belong to us, and they both achieved great results.

🥉 Netstutteriets Fascination by Frankling, bred by Merete & Bo Brink, was elegantly presented by our talented Helgstrand student master rider, Sophie Wilson. The mare was awarded a splendid bronze medal ✨

🥉 Sybil Nobel by Franklin, bred by Ulrik Stadelhofer and Helgstrand Dressage, also made an excellent impression under the guidance of rider Mette Sejbjerg Jensen. She too earned a well-deserved bronze medal 💫

🥈 Another Helgstrand rider, Pia Rosenstand Bak Thomsen, took the stage today with the mare Shirley DWB by Revolution, bred by Jane and Erik Bech Jensen. Shirley is owned by our former groom, Ellen Breum Andersen. Pia has been a tremendous help to Ellen in working with Shirley, and their efforts paid off at today's licensing, where Shirley was honored with a silver medal 🤩

🇩🇰Congratulations to all of you on these fantastic results! 🙌🌟
