2004 Swedish Dressage Championships

Minna Telde and Don Charly Dazzle

Keep your eyes on EMV Don Charly 1052 in the future! The licensed 7-year-old stallion dominated the small tour, winning all three classes -- Prix St Georges, Intermediaire I and Intermediaire I kur to music- in the small tour in Helsingborg, Sweden.

"I have him on contract with the owners Birgitta Kjellin Häst AB until 2010," says the happy rider. Don Charly is a fantastic horse, with three very good gaits and a wonderful attitude for dressage. "I have not found any weaknesses yet, everything is easy for him. He is doing a fabulous piaffe and one-time changes, one has to think about not going too fast with him as he is only 7 years old," Minna said.

EMV Don Charly 1052 is a Hanoverian stallion, bought in Germany as a foal by his current owners. He is by the Donnerhall-son Don Gregory with the wellknown French Anglo-Arab Inschallah x as dam sire.

"Don Charly is an extraordinary horse to ride. He is so positive, he always wants to work. In Helsingborg, he was almost too eager to work in the Prix St Georges but won any way," Minna added.

Without a doubt, Minna is very fond of her lovely stallion. Who would not be? EMV Don Charly 1052 is standing at stud at Tullstorp Dressage stable, together with Björsells Briar 899 and many promising young stallions.
