Harriston Ashton winner of Lövsta Future Challenge Dressage Tour in Herning

Great Britains Harrison Ashton was unstoppable in the first leg of Lövsta Future Challenge International Tour at World Cup Herning. Aboard Henri Rouste and Jesse Honkas 10 year old mare Million Dreams (Millenium-Sandro Hit, bred by Barbara Bettin Schulze Schleppinghoff) the pair not only won the class but also secured a new personal best.

- " I´m so happy with Mildred! She felt incredible in the warm up. When we went in to the arena it was a lot more crowded so she was definitely a bit nervous going around before we started the test. But I managed to calm her down and when we went in she trusted me and did an amazing test. I´m so proud of her! ", says Harriston.

Second place went to Swedens Cecilia Bergåkra and My Friend (2011,Friendship-Troll,breeder Carina Edin, Stiven Wiklund, owner Bergåkra family and Carina Edin).

- " I had a much better test today. Maya, as we call her, is in heat and has been struggling a bit whit that this week. However, today she felt much better and I really love my music, just listening to it in my car makes me tear up", says Cecilia with a smile.

Third place went to Netherlands Robin Heiden and Hollywood (2012,Cocktail-Ulster, breeder and owner Stoeterij Broere).
