Danish stallion licensing 2025: Seven dressage-oriented premium stallions honored

At this year's Danish warmblood stallion licensing in Herning, 18 three-year-old stallions were approved for the performance test and received a one-year breeding license. The breeding committee, consisting of Vicky Nortvig, Bjarne Nielsen, Rune Willum and Johnny Sørensen, awarded the premium to six of these young stallions - a return to higher numbers after the rigorous previous year. In addition, the five-year-old V-Power (Viva Gold x For Romance) was honored.

The award-winning stallions:

• Bronzite (Bonds x Dancier): Hanoverian bred stallion by Helmut Bäßmann, who has already been licensed in Hanover
• EVO Fernandez (Fynch Hatton x Franklin): bred from Stutteri EVO DK, who was initially not licensed in Oldenburg
• Go Magic (Helium x Friedensfürst): 1st Reserve Champion Stallion at the 2024 Trakehner Stallion Market, bred by Bloch and Jensen Jens Bloch
• Daan G. (Hesselhoej Donkey Boss x Don Olymbrio): bred by Stutteri G. was the premium stallion of the Hanoverian stallion licensing and top price at the subsequent auction
• Strandagergårds McCloud (My Vitality x Sezuan): bred by Stutteri Strandagergård
• Invictus IWE (Iron x Quaterback): Like Bronzite and Daan G. owned by Helgstrand Dressage

V-Power (Viva Gold x For Romance), once champion stallion at the 2022 Westphalian licensing, was first presented for approval in Denmark and listed among the premium stallions due to his quality.
