June 10, 2018
Cathrine Dufour rode Cassidy to an easy victory in the Grand Prix Freestyle Sunday to clinch the Danish Championships for the second year in a row. The pair had earlier won the Grand Prix and the Special, as expected of the world’s No. 4 ranked combination, at the Broholm Horse Show.
Cathrine and the 15-year-old Danish Warmblood gelding scored 86.925 per cent for the win that is expected to lead Denmark’s team to the World Equestrian Games in Tryon, North Carolina in three months.
The 26-year-old rider has competed Cassidy from juniors through young riders and under-25 division to the Olympics in 2016 and was a star of the 2017 European Championships where she won team and two individual bronze medals.
Daniel Bachmann Andersen rode Blue Hors Zack to second place on 82.900 per cent. He could only compete one horse in the freestyle so chose Zack over Blue Hors Zepter on which he was runner-up in the Special. But at the age of 10, Zepter is still developing at top sport.
Anna Zibrandtsen on Arlando was third on Arlando on 78.775 per cent.
The three top places in the freestyle were also overall medal winners–Cathrine on Cassidy gold, Daniel on Blue Hors Zack silver and Anna on Arlando bronze.
The top five places were all by 20-something riders–Daniel on Zack at 28 years old to Victoria Vallentin at the age of 20 in fourth place on Ludwig der Sonnenkonig.
