8 <strong>Dansk</strong> <strong>Varmblod</strong>The success <strong>of</strong> HRH Princess Benedikte’sand Princess Nathalie’s breedingprogramme can no longer be explainedwith good luck and fortunedanish warmblood’s main <strong>of</strong>ficeEvery year at the Danish Warmblood stallion licensing HRHPrincess Benedikte’s special award <strong>of</strong> honor is given tosomeone who has played a remarkable role in the breeding <strong>of</strong>sport horses; may it be a stallion, a sport horse or a person.Princess Nathalie bonds closely with her performancehorses, and she clearly felt moved at the award ceremony forher CDI victory with home bred Rigoletto in Aachen in 2009.A second foundation mareAs a token <strong>of</strong> gratitude for her invaluable work and supportDanish Warmblood gave HRH Princess Benediktea second mare, Rosienne by Rossi xx / May Sherif. Themare turned out to be rather hot tempered, and atBerleburg they decided to only produce two foals out<strong>of</strong> Rosienne. Both foals were by Rubinstein, and onceagain it proved to be a very wise choice <strong>of</strong> stallion.The first foal, Rigoletto, born one year before Digby,became a solid scoring Grand Prix horse and oncewon the Danish championship with Princess Nathalie.His younger full sister Racine is a strong producingbrood mare, which is the dam <strong>of</strong> Princess Nathalie’slatest Grand Prix horse Fabienne by Blue Hors FutureCup. Racine is also the dam <strong>of</strong> the promising Dolany byBlue Hors Don Schufro and several high quality mareswhich now comprise the broodmare herd at Berleburg.The success <strong>of</strong> HRH Princess Benedikte’s and PrincessNathalie’s breeding programme can no longer beexplained with good luck and fortune. It is inevitablydown to a great sense <strong>of</strong> horsemanship as well as asolid knowledge <strong>of</strong> bloodlines and not least superbmanagement and training. Danish Warmblood couldnot have wished for better ambassadors in breedingand in sport.Jan PedersenPresidentChristina b.
