For everyone who is in awe of this partnership...

Andreas Helgstrand will not be riding Blue Hors Matine in the 2008 Hong Kong Olympic Games. Blue Hors stud manager Esben Møller notifed the Danish Equestrian Fedeation that the grey Danish Warmblood mare is not fit enough for the Games.

The decision not to show Matine (by Blue Hors Silvermoon) was made in agreement with the veterinarians. They detected damage to the tendon connected to the fetlock bone and this still hasn't fully healed.

Andreas Helgstrand is certain of individual Olympic qualification and will select his World Cup Finals' horse Gredstedgaards Casmir (by Continue) for the Gales. "I still have Casmir," Andreas Helgstrand commented."He is despite his young age one of the best horses in the world. I now want to concentrate all my energy on him."
