Top timing all the way
From the Prix Sct. Georg the placement at the top of the competition were set, but nothing is of course clear before the test has finished.
But again today Dorothee Schneider and her 8 yr old Danish Warmblood stallion Sezuan by Zack / Schufro were ready for the task. Fully focused about the job and his rider, the long legged stallion showed an active, supple high quality test. It is clear that even though he show big movements he is also showing abilities to collection and make his steps smaller. This picture you really see when watching the difficult transition from medium trot direct into collected walk, where Dorothee is able to do a smooth transition where Sezuan just shorten his steps, like they way she can prepare him going into the canter pirouettes.
It is still clear that Sezuan does not feel 100% comfortable doing the series yet, as they are shown with a bit of tensions. But Dorothee manage to make them clear without errors, and of course also with subsequent rewarding pat from Dorothee.
