Danish Olympic team horse Heiline's Danciera received a "competition medal in gold" from the Danish warmblood society based on the horse's performances at the 2021 Olympic Games.
Danish Warmblood has created this new distinction of "competition medals" in gold, silver and bronze based on a horse's results in international sport. The Danish warmblood society makes the decision to grant a medal following an application by the horse's breeder for this medal.
This year five Danish bred sport horses were awarded such a medal, two of them to dressage horses, two to jumpers and one to an eventer. The dressage horses got gold and bronze.
The 2021 recipients are:
Gold

Silver
- Vestervangs Arami by Akinos / Ragazzo, born in 2005 and bred by Kirsten Svendsen and Kaj Klavsen
