History was made today as  Justina Vanagaite bagged the first ever WC victory for Lithuania. Sandra Sysojeva came 3rd. These two are becoming heavy hitters.

Not only that this historic victory haven't made it to the headlines, our own equestrian federation haven't acknowledged that at all!

For what it's worth, the video of the winning ride is out there.

 

A nice improvement all around compared to last year, as should be expected from such a young horse for the level.

Bang, another victory for Vanagaite this time in Samorin. Freestyle for the WC points is on tomorrow.

Low score for Katinaite-Pranceviciene, but actually quite promising with a number of 7.5s and 8s on the scorecard... Needs to clean it up, but if she does, Lithuania will be the frontrunner for the team qualification for Paris. Feels crazy saying that, but it is very much feasible.

Yet another victory for Vanagaite today in Samorin, Slovakia. This will bring her total to 77 points.

Five more qualifiers left for the Central European League (Tallinn, Budapest, Szilvasvarad, Zakrzow, Motesice). However Glinka and Vanagaite have such a huge lead at the moment that they are basically shoe-ins for the Finals in Omaha, Nebraska next year. Someone else would have to basically score four victories in these five remaining events, and that's just... not very likely.

Boy bands never sounded so smart. 

 

Carina Cassoe Kruth & Danciera win the Western European League opener with a brand new freestyle. Also, that piaffe on the final center-line was the best I have ever seen them do. Way to go!

 

 

 

In fact, Denmark picks up right where they left off at the home World Championships in August. Top 4 sweep today in Vilhelmsbjorg + two more in the Top 9. Sure, it's a home World Cup, but the success is unprecedented. Langehanenberg and Schneider are usually on the podium, or very close to it, at these qualifiers, but today they have been closed out.

 

Western European League - Stage 1 (Vilhjelmsborg, DEN)

Carina Cassoe Krueth (Heiline's Danciera) - 85.925%

Nanna Merrald Rasmussen (Blue Hors St. Schufro) - 82.610%

Daniel Bachmann Andersen (Zippo M.I.) - 81.330%

Cool story regarding Johanna Due Boje. She contested some World Cups but never imagined she would receive a reallocation for the Finals. It was on short notice and her fiance eventually drove the horse's bloodwork to the lab in Germany (8-9 hours drive one way) so she could get all the paperwork for a flight to the USA in time. https://www.eurodressage.com/2023/03/16/2023-world-cup-finals-participants-known-entry-list-sprinkled-surprise

 

First ever WC Finals qualification for Lithuania and Singapore.

Grand Prix is in progress. Zweistra scored 73% and is in fact the only one above 70%.

 

Still, some fairly clean and fun to watch tests were delivered by the surprise WC finalists (Due Boje, Verwimp, Chew).
