2011 Results - Grading & Show Report

Thank you to Tanja Davis for use of her lovely photos below of the 2011 Trakehner grading and show.

We were welcomed once again by Patsy and Simon Bates, to The College Equestrian Centre at Keysoe. Members enjoyed a successful and entertaining weekend, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Despite some atrocious weather, the show was well supported. Thanks should go to many, but special thanks go the show organiser Nicky Nash who worked so hard for so long, to achieve a very well organised event, with some really good prizes to reward competitors. We must also thank the grading judges, Prof Dr Gerriet Müller and Herr Dieter Pothen, of The Trakehner Verband, Paul Attew, Terry Hyde and Janet Scollay-Lorch. Herr Erhard Schulte, Ginny Oakley and Douglas Jones, judged the Mare Performance Test. Ginny Oakley The Riding Horse and part bred showing classes, and Prof Dr Gerriet Müller and Herr Dieter Pothen the pure bred showing classes.
There was a strong entry for mare grading with 17 mares presented for grading. 5 mares were awarded "potential Premium" marks with the two highest placed mares scoring 54 points each. The judges chose Godington Undine by Lessen out of Godington Uppsala as the Grading Champion, and the Reserve Champion on the same points was Holme Grove Lionni by Holme Park Krug out of Holme Grove Liebe. Godington Undine went on to pass her Mare Performance test on the Sunday and therefore confirmed her Premium Status.
Mare Performance Champion was Tiger Lily Tu by Le Duc out of Tosca Tu, who scored an amazing 9.3 out of 10 which is the highest ever scored in UK. The Reserve Champion was Monaghan's Filia Flora who scored 8.2. these two outstanding scores confirmed their premium status.

Awards
Performance Awards


Each year, Trakehners UK recognizes Trakehners in the competition world. Searching through performance records of Dressage, Showjumping and Eventing, we seek out those horses who are actively competing and select those with the highest winnings for Performance Awards.

Searching through British Dressage, British Show Jumping and British Eventing databases, looking for those horses known to be of Trakehner breeding, we try to recognize those horses making a name for themselves.

If you would like to have your horses considered in future years, please complete the nomination form which can be found in the documents section.

It is truly a pleasure to see this breed compete and we look forward to making awards in the future.
