Pony rider Dina Odegard-Martinsen, children rider Sophie Skaug, junior rider Mathilde Merethe Klaesson, young rider Cathrine Oppegaard, and senior Grand Prix rider Louise Almlund Løkken became the winners of the 2018 Norwegian Dressage Championships held at the Hønefoss Og Ringerike riding club on 23 - 26 August 2018.
Nineteen combinations competed in the FEI level pony category for D-size ponies. Dina Ødegård-Martinsen was the clear winner building up a significant point advantage after round 2 and 3. Aboard the experienced, 14-year old Dutch NRPS pony Beukenhof's Ricardo (by Morgenland's Fabian x Wester Aikema's Adios) she scored 69.017% in the team test, 69.431% in the individual and 73.540% in the Kur to Music to total 211.988 points for gold. The battle for silver and bronze was a tough one with silver medalist Maren Aarflot Strandheim finishing on 207.955 points and Madelen Olsen on 207.700 points.
With only one starter in the children's division the podium was quite empty, but Sophie Skaug's gold was still well earned. Aboard Chrismas Callisto, a 15-year old chestnut gelding, she scored 68.500 and 66.000% to win the Norwegian Children's title.
Nineteen Young Riders' pairs came to the Hønefoss Og Ringerike riding club at the end of August and it was Cathrine Oppegaard on the 13-year old Dutch warmblood Arion van 't Heemskind (by Sunny Boy x Kennedy) who brought home the gold medal and title with a total of 208.179 points. The pair scored 67.325% in the team tst, 67.939% in the individual and 72.915% in the Kur to Music. Christine Falbach and Norwegian team routinier Ravell's Herkulas, a 17-year old Danish warmblood by Hertug x Agent, landed silver with 206.021 points and Lotte Andal and the 9-year old Danish mare Skikkild's Ralina (by Skovens Rafael x Helenikos) finished with bronze on 201.331 points.
