Hanoverian stallion Be Sure sold to Australia

This was reported by Eurodressage. According to the report, Helgstrand Dressage has sold the Hanoverian stallion by Benicio-Scuderia, bred by Ludwig Fuchs, to Australian rider Jasmine Haynes, who trains with Andreas Helgstrand’s business partner, Isabell Werth. The U25 rider is ready to take on the challenge. While Be Sure is only eight years old and still developing in the sport, her new acquisition—in which she invested in August—already has Olympic experience. Haynes secured the Hanoverian Quincy B (12), a son of Quaterback, who represented Australia at the Paris Games with Jayden Brown.

Be Sure – Appraisal, World Championships, National Championships, Burg Cup

Be Sure was named a premium stallion at the 2020 Hanoverian Appraisal and was purchased by Helgstrand Dressage for 380,000 euros. After Mette Sejbjerg Jensen rode Be Sure to second place at the Danish Young Horse Championships when he was four, Thomas Sigtenbjerggaard qualified him for the World Championships for Young Dressage Horses at age five, where the pair placed eleventh in both the qualifiers and the finals.

A year later, Be Sure went to the German Helgstrand branch for further training—actually as a training horse for Leonie Richter—since Eva Möller had already said at that point that she would no longer be competing in tournaments. However, because the 2024 World Championships for Young Dressage Horses and the Bundeschampionat fell on the same weekend, Möller had to pull her competition pants out of the closet after all. Be Sure had not been nominated for the World Championships, but he won the title at the Bundeschampionat in Warendorf with Eva Möller.

After that, however, she handed the reins back to Leonie Richter, who qualified for the final of the Nürnberger Burg-Pokal with the stallion 2025 and finished in tenth place.

From Richter to Werth

Since Leonie Richter left Helgstrand Dressage at the turn of the year and started her own business, the spot in Be Sure’s saddle became vacant. Isabell Werth, who has been stabling Helgstrand’s stallions at her facility in Rheinberg since the collaboration between Helgstrand and Gestüt Famos ended, took over training the bay horse. She competed him at the S*** level for the first time this year.
