The first of the three planned dressage events took place on the premises of the National Stud Farm Topoľčianky on June 12-13, 2021. There were dressage tests from "A" to "S", including classes for young horses.
Nadežda Ivaničová headed the jury, other members were Jana Medová, Silvia Poláková and Iva Schützová from the Czech Republic also accepted the invitation. Forty riding pairs measured their abilities. For many of the riders, this event was also a preparation for the Slovak Championships and at the same time an opportunity to meet the qualification criteria for individual categories of the championships.
On Saturday, there was a pleasant summer weather that lasted all day. The sports competition opened up with tasks for young horses. The FEI dressage test for 4-year-old horses was the first to run. It was evaluated in two categories - 4-year-old horses and 5–6-year-old horses. This competition was relatively strongly represented. Up to 8 riding pairs started here, of which 4 were young mares from the National Stud Farm. It was their premiere participation in a sporting event in order to test their rideability, character and overall perspective in dressage sport. In the future, they are expected to be used in breeding as a new generation of quality mothers in the herd of Slovak warmbloods. The young talented stallion from the breeding of the National Stud Farm Loretto with Peter Vančo in the saddle received the highest rating in the department of 4-year-old horses. This same rider also won first place in the category of 5–6-year-old horses with mare Dormane du Puy 16.
