Performance test winners took champion titles
Stallion Licensing and Horse Fair on 7 - 10 March 2013 at MCH Messecenter Herning
Already on Thursday the licensing committee announced which 4-year-old and older stallions with a valid
performance test were licensed and which only received a 1-year breeding approval until they have achieved
better performance results. On the last day of the stallion licensing the champions were crowned and among
the 4-year-old stallions the licensing committee made a choice which was extremely popular with the crowd.
Every year two challenge trophies are assigned among the 4-year-old stallions with a valid performance test;
Elvin Rasmussens trophy goes to the best Danish-born jumping stallion and Aage Ravns trophy to the best
Danish-bred dressage stallion.
This year no 4-year-old jumping stallion had qualified for the trophy which then went to 5-year-old Mønsteds
Hardcore by Heartbeat/Come Fast xx owned by Hanne Helmers & Frank Kjelberg and bred by Ina Mønsted
Pedersen.
The performance winner Spitfire Z was appointed 4-year-old jumping champion stallion. He is born in the
Netherlands and owned by Stald Cajus.
Historical breeder success
The proclamation of Sezuan as the 4-year-old dressage champion stallion was applauded by the spectators.
Sezuan has achieved the highest score ever at a Danish performance test and he stands out as a highly
functional and rideable stallion and moves with suppleness, rhythm and power. Sezuan was also honored with
the Aage Ravn’s challenge trophy. He received standing ovations from the audience when presented in hand
by Andreas Helgstrand.
Sezuan is bred by Linette Jæger who has only bred two foals in her career as a horse breeder. However she
has achieved the highly unusual honor of receiving the challenge trophy twice. Last year she received it for
Zonik, also by Blue Hors Zack.
