Title: "Danish Warmblood Mare Delizia Sold to Jeanette Larsen for Continued Competitive Career"

Anne Troensegaard’s 2018 WCYH participant Delizia has been sold to Sweden. Ridehesten reported that the 12-year-old mare will continue her sport career with Jeanette Larsen.

Delizia is a Danish warmblood mare by Furstenball out of Duchesse Petit (by De Noir x Schwadroneur). She is bred by Lotte Liv Kulle.

The beautiful black mare went to the Danish elite mare show, and when she was four, a half share of the ownership was sold to Danish Grand Prix rider Anne Rosleff Troensegaard.

Troensegaard trained and competed the mare up to MB-level. They made their show debut in Denmark in the 4-year-old young horse classes in June 2017. They competed at the 2017 Danish Young Horse Championships and were 35th in the preliminary round with 75.8 points. In 2018, they represented Denmark at the World Young Horse Championships in Ermelo, where they finished 22nd in the 5-year-old consolation finals with 72.600 points. Two months later, they were 11th in the finals of the 2018 Danish Young Horse Championships.

At the 2018 World Young Horse Championships, Troensegaard showed the mare once in 2018, once in 2020, and then had a 2.5-year break from competition. During this period, she was bred by Iron and produced the now yearling "Isn’t it Ironic." Delizia returned to the national arena with her in January 2023 at MB-level, winning two classes.

In the early summer of 2023, breeder Lotte Liv Kulle wanted to sell her share, and Delizia moved into the training of Anne-Mette Strandby Hansen to be sold, first at Helgstrand Dressage and then at Stutteri EVO, where Strandby is now based.

Anne-Mette debuted the mare at national level in October 2023 at M-level and did their first Prix St Georges test in March 2024. They did their first and only CDI in Aalborg in May 2024, placing second in the PSG (70.196%) and fourth in the Inter I (68.294%).

Strandby rode her in a first Inter II test in January 2025, scoring 70.307%. On 30 March 2025, they did their last show, their first Grand Prix test, earning 69.367%.

Delizia has now been sold to Danish Grand Prix rider Jeanette Larsen.

Larsen, 48, was based with Daniel and Doris Ramseier in Switzerland in the mid-2000s when she made her international show debut on Laser III, a 1995-born Holsteiner. She first competed him internationally at small tour level in 2005 and at Grand Prix level in 2007. They ranked 10th at the 2007 Swiss Dressage Championships. Larsen then sold Laser III to Swiss young rider Sophie Aiko Müller, who rode him at the 2009 and 2010 European Junior/Young Riders Championships.

For Larsen, an 11-year break from international showing followed between 2007 and 2018 as she moved back to Denmark in 2015. She returned to the CDI stage in May 2018 at the CDI-AM Uggerhalne, riding two horses: Sheila N and Skjoldsgaard Rubial-VO. Since then, Larsen has only competed nationally in Denmark. Both Rubial-VO and Sheila N sold into American ownership. Jeanette is now competing Don Delias at national Grand Prix level.

Delizia, a 12-year-old Danish warmblood mare, has been sold to Swedish Grand Prix rider Jeanette Larsen. Previously trained by Anne Troensegaard, Delizia competed successfully at various levels, including the World Young Horse Championships in 2018, where she finished 22nd in the consolation finals. After a brief hiatus from competition, during which she was bred, Delizia returned to the national arena in early 2023, winning multiple classes at MB-level.

Following her return, Delizia was transferred to Anne-Mette Strandby Hansen for training and sale. Under Strandby’s guidance, the mare debuted at national M-level in October 2023 and progressed to compete in Prix St Georges and Inter I tests, achieving notable scores. Their partnership culminated in a Grand Prix test in March 2025, marking the end of their competitive journey together.

Jeanette Larsen, who has a rich history in dressage, including a significant break from international competition, is now set to continue Delizia’s career. Larsen has previously competed at various levels and is currently riding another horse at the national Grand Prix level, indicating her commitment to advancing Delizia’s performance in the sport.
