Blue Hors Don Olymbrio and Daniel Bachmann Andersen
Aachen is the definite final competition for most nations before selection for the Europeans. The Germans are stronger than ever and today Dorothee Schneider and Showtime FRH showed that they will for sure be at the team, and sadly at the same time it look like Langehanenberg and Damsey will not go to Rotterdam.
The lightness and power Dorothee presents Showtime is just a pleasure.
🇩🇪Showtime FRH GER - super halt, super power extension, small unbalance half pass left, super power diagonal into 100% regular passage with top expression, good 1st piaffe, small tension hind before transition to walk, superb walk tour, could be a bit sharper into piaffe, piaffe active and easy out, super 2 times, nice extended canter, well balanced zigzag, error mid 1 times, superb 1st pirouette, super expression and balance for diagonal, WOW final centerline. 80,609% - NEW leader.
