The fantastic DWB-mare Lyngbjergs St. Paris was just crowned world champion of the five-year-old dressage horses at the Longines FEI/WBFSH Dressage World Breeding Championships for Young Horses. In a thrilling final that featured one incredible horse after the other, it was the breeding product of Bente Børjesson that came out on top ahead of Vitalos (Vitalis x De Niro) and Fashion Prinz OLD.
Fairytale
It had not fully dawned on Vallentin in the press conference. “When the crowd started cheering on our last line, I thought to myself ‘this might have been a good test’. But I never expected it, it feels like a dream. She is so easy to ride, I am not even sweating”, she laughs.It is a fairytale come to life for the Danish rider and her horse. “I ride a lot of horses, but she is very special to me. I have purchased her as a two-year-old out of the field and have always ridden her myself. We have decided to keep her for a long time, so this is very special.”
