Top top level for today’s CDI3 Grand Prix Special at Blue Hors in Denmark
A true pleasure to follow the Danish top riders today, showing so much potential for the future with top horses.
And today’s top horse is a horse with all 3 basic gaits, expression, power and suppleness, all put together for the demanding top sport. It was certainly not just top 3 showing top qualities.
