On September 12, 2020, Crown Princess Mary of Denmark made her dressage show debut at the regional show in Frederiksværk. Her daughter Princess Isabella accompanied her. The Crown Princess scored 72.05% and placed fourth with the horse Edelman.
Danish Royals have a great passion for horse sport. The most prominent member of the Danish royal family involved with the sport is Nathalie zu Sayn-Wittgenstein who is a multiple Oympian, European and World Championship finalist. Now, she is the trainer of the Danish Grand Prix dressage team. Nathalie's mother, Princess Benedikte of Denmark, is a horse breeder, and honorary president and patron of the Danish warmblood society, World Breeding Federation of Sport Horses and Global Dressage Foundation.
Très bon classement pour la princesse Mary ; j'aime beaucoup l'avant-dernière photo où nous la voyons avec une silhouette irréprochable sur sa monture !
ReplyDeletePrincess Isabella really loves horses, look at her next to the horse, you can see it in her eyes. Good for her!
ReplyDeleteCP Mary looks fabulous, confident and happy on her horse. Pss Isabella looks so happy to be with her mother, well done to both of them
ReplyDeletePrincess Mary is doing okay for a novice;the hand positioning is all wrong,as is her seat. Princess Mary's attire looks good. I would have liked to have seen Isabella in the saddle.
ReplyDeleteCan you please explain to us ignoramuses as to how the correct seat and handwork should look. I would love to know. I thought her back did not look sort of as straight as I have seen other riders. Fashion wise she looks extremely well put together to me but I know there are rules or conventions about that too. The horse looks to me like he is having a huge amount of fun humouring her so she thinks she is doing it all.
DeleteThe horse is humoring her...I am dying!
DeleteWhat a lovely big hug for the horse by the Princess Isabella.
ReplyDeleteMary looks so chic. This sport is so cultivated!
ReplyDeletelol! Loving the amusing comments above. Thank you for the humour, Nalerina.
ReplyDeleteI believe I read somewhere that Princess Isabella does indeed love horses and I'm recalling other times when the family have been involved with horse events (such as that annual event when horses and ponies from various clubs ride up to the family and their riders present the family with bouquets of flowers) where P. Isabella has shown genuine care for them. Good for her, and lovely to see her enjoying an event with her mother, just the two of them.
