Class L
Fürst Jazz (born 2013) by Fürst Romancier / Painted Black ridden by Dideriek van Silhout just bring something extra. Top modern look, super obedient, supple in the body, nice natural frame, lovely balance and 3 very expressive gaits. But not enough for today´s victory seen from the judges. They ended up as no 3 with 84 points, while In Style and Imposantos shared the victory with 85 points.
Class M
Today´s winner at class M Total US by Totilas / Sir Donnerhall with Dinja van Liere were not as convincing as the judges saw them.
H2R comments: Total US with Dinja van Liere scoring: Walk 9,0 - Trot 9,5 - Canter 8,5 - Harmony 9,0 - Over all impression 9,0. Lot of praise from the judges, but from H2R point of view clearly over scored today. All 3 gaits lack more natural push from behind, and for the trot tour he does not stay up in a natural self carriage frame and for the turns he needs riders support to keep the balance.
In general the qualities of Dutch the stallions were very nice today. Gonna be exciting to see them for the finals at KWPN stallion show in s´Hertogenbosch.
