[mulitcolouredcandy]

May i use this clip in a video i want to make ? credit with go to youu :)

[mondydsp]

It is remarkable how well Sune Hansen is repairing this poor horse after Helgstrand's ruinous riding. It always made me nauseous to watch him 'ride' Casmir. So insensitive, such harsh hands, always too deep and never properly over the back.

[Kenzie10894x3]

all of the horses that andreas helgstrand ride somehow turn out amazing. the horse's self carriage is amazing compared to others

[thebluebot]

i was just thinking the same thing. its like his horses love to do this! its like the greatest racehorses LOVE to run! the greatest show jumpers LOVE to jump! his horses LOVE to do dressage!

[hcyvonne1]

I think dressage is boring :/ the horses looks nice, but i like something with more action, like cross counrty :D

[thebluebot]

Dressage is on a completely different scale then cross country! I love cross country but i also love cross country because its beautiful, if you watch a good round you know it, its like comparing eq to hunters, hunters is single outside diagonal outside diagonal and so on, eq is fun turns work offs and stuff

[HorseLife369]

who the hell is he riding now?

[Lyllerh]

I don't really know, he is starting his own stable where he is going to buy young horses and then train them. Though I guess he is still going to ride Casmir since it's not a Blue Hors.

[JUMPTHEGUNZZX]

Casmir is still owned by Blue Hors and Andreas will not be riding him anymore.

Andreas will not mainly be buying and training young horses now but Grand Prix horses. He now has a new star Carabas. Look out for him!

[Frajdsson]

He is born in Sweden but competes for Denmark.

[kalibarpr144]

does anyone know if Andreas speaks english?

[UFOGlassHens]

I'm pretty sure he does. Every Dane learns Danish in school from when they are 10 years old.

[Lyllerh]

As far as I know he speaks both Danish, English, German and Swedish.

[thebluebot]

GERMAN! WOOT!

[bailycakes]

I had heard that Matinee was not sound, but glad to hear that she is on the way to recovery. I am such a big fan - I think she is simply the best horse in the world

[Kiliasja]

Can't wait to see him at the olympic games.

[carolynpanzarella]

Very nice.....Blue hors matine is much more exciting, if not the better choice for the olympics. Andreas is already a star performer because of Matine. Please let Matine perform in  the olympics!!!!

[Lyllerh]

Unfortunately Matine is not ready yet, she has not recovered completely from her injury, plus she is only 11 years old so Andreas don't want to take the risk of taking her to the olympics.

I think Casmir is good second choice, at this show he is only 8 years old. Of cause Matine has that bit extra. But Casmir has a lot to offer as well, he is still very young and developing. I for sure look forward to see him at the olympics.
