International Success Te Danish dressage rider Anne Grethe Jensen (now Törnblad) was the first to bring a Danish Warmblood registered horse to international fame when she won the European Dressage Champi- onships aboard the gelding Marzog (by Herzog), helping the Danish team to the silver medal. Tis performance put the Danish studbook firmly on the map and elevated Danish breeders to among the leading dressage breeders in the world over- night. Marzog himself was crowned the dressage horse of the century in 1999 by an international jury of dressage judges. Many a Danish Warmblood horse has since
then achieved international success. Te Danish show jumping stallion Lando (by Lancier) won the individual silver medal at the 2000 Sydney Olym- pics under the Dutch flag, and the dressage horse Mistral Hojris (by Michellino) has won medals at the European championships, the World Equestri- an Games and the Olympics with his rider Laura Bechtolsheimer (now Tomlinson). Of the same era was the leading Danish team horse Digby (by Donnerhall), ridden by Princess Nathalie zu Sayn- Wittgenstein and bred by her mother, HRH Prin- cess Benedikte, who is the patron of the Danish Warmblood. When HRH Princess Benedikte took on the patronage of the studbook, she received the mare Øxenholm Pamina as a present from the studbook. Tis mare is the dam of the renowned Digby and still runs in the blood of several of the Princesses’ current broodmares.
Americans Embrace DWBs On the North American continent, the Danish Warmblood horses have played a major role in competitive dressage here in the U.S. Tey include U.S. team horses Calecto V (by Come Back II) and Dublet (by Diamond Hit). Heather Blitz made headlines when she trained and competed her 18-hand Danish gelding Paragon (Don Schufro x Loran) to Grand Prix about five years ago. Te pair was selected as the traveling reserve for the 2012 Olympic team. In recent years the Grand Prix dressage scene in Wellington, Florida has been dominated by two outstanding Danish Warm- blood mares, Mariett (by Come Back II) and My Lady (by Michellino).
