Perry-Glass won the Grand Prix championship. Others in the Grand Prix were Lonoir (by De Noir) owned and ridden by Olivia LaGoy-Weltz and Marron (by Michel- lino) owned and ridden by Mette Rosencrantz. At the same competition, in the Intermediate 1
championship, Monique (by Tailormade Temptation), owned and ridden by Jane Cleveland, placed second, and Montana (by Rambo) owned by Brenda Duet rid- den by JJ Tate also placed well. In addition, some very talented show jumpers and
hunter/jumpers have found their way to the U.S. Te mare Strapless (by Leandro) won the AHJF Hunter Classic Spectacular in 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004, plus she was 2001 National Hunter/Jumper Council National Trails Champion in Regular Working Hunter.

Stars in the Making Te Danish studbook has been represented at the FEI/ WBFSH World Breeding Championships for both young dressage and young jumping horses for years. Long before the first medals went to Denmark, we saw Danish horses perform at the championships time after time. Finalists such as Milan (by Michel- lino), Clearwater (by Carpaccio), Schianto (by Grib- aldi), Sopranos (by Come Back II), Atterupgaards Cas- sidy (by Caprimond), Skovens Rafael (by Blue Hors Romanov), Polka Hit Nexen (by Sandro Hit) and Hon- nerups Driver (by Blue Hors Romanov) have all devel- oped to the highest level. At the World Breeding Jumping Championships
for Young Horses in Lanaken, the DWB stallion Lucky Light (by Lagano) won the ‘Sires of the World’ competition in 1995, and the DWB stallion Cajus was the first Danish Warmblood to win a medal when he finished third as a six-year-old in 2000. In 2004, the DWB mare Ligitta (by Come Back II) claimed the sil- ver medal in the six-year-old division and, under the name Frida, she later participated in the 2008 Olym- pic Games in Hong Kong under Mexico’s Enrique Gonzalez. When talking about the World Breeding Champi-
onships for Young Horses, one of the most extraor- dinary horses of the past few years has to be the Danish Warmblood stallion Sezuan (by Blue Hors Zack), who became the first horse in history to win the event three consecutive times (under Dorothee Schneider) and is now making a name for himself at the small tour level. Te stallion Glock’s Zonik is another of Blue Hors Zack’s Danish sons fast on his way to becoming a ‘shooting star’ under Dutch rider Edward Gal.
Te young Sezuan (Blue Hors Zack x Don Schufro) who went on to win the World Breeding Championship three years in row.
Next in line to be able to become triple world cham-
pion for young horses is the Danish mare Fiontini (by Fassbinder), who has won gold as a five-year-old in 2015 and again as a six-year-old in 2016 under Spanish rider Severo Jurado. Te mare has now sold to a Swed- ish young rider.

world have become one big fam- ily. Most leading stallions nowa- days are available for breeding everywhere in the world, through almost every studbook. In order to survive as a studbook in this battle of the studbooks, you need to have unique qualities. Te studbooks that have the best mare lines at their disposal, the best
breeders and good breeding directors, as well as the best selection system, will be able to stand out from the rest. Te breeding program of the DWB is based on the
latest scientific knowledge. In addition, the DWB is an open studbook, constantly on the lookout for the best genetic material, which is made available to Danish breeders through the Danish stallion stations. Our presi- dent believes that this policy is one of the key points behind the Danish Warmblood’s great success.
