New young British team member Charlotte Fry delivered a very strong performance in the 2nd part of today’s Grand Prix team competition.
Charlotte looks very concentrated and not that impressed by entering the arena in Rotterdam. Her partner Dark Legend looked a bit tense coming into the arena leaded by the groom, but from there Charlotte showed a confident and strong test giving her horse some supportive pats, and Fry took wisely her time before entering the centerline.
Dark Legend GBR - small unbalance for halt, nice diagonal, nice go an crossing for half passes, bit tense rein back, super nice diagonal, good into passage, good piaffes and nice transition, good walk tour, good control for 2 times, nice zigzag with nice balance, 1 times could cover bit more ground, good preparation of both pirouettes with good quality, good diagonal with extended trot, super nice final centerline. Super championship debut - well done.
🇩🇰 Jojo AZ DEN - bit open halt, good diagonal, lack bit more bend and balance for half pass left, open halt for rein back good rein back, good diagonal with good transition to passage, could show a bit more activity for the piaffe itself, but good flow in and out, good extended walk, better 2nd piaffe with better clear activity, good passage, good transition to canter, error end 2 times, lacking a bit more uphill trend for zigzag, good 1 times, tiny pirouettes lack bit more activity, super nice final centerline.
