Rosenstolz and Dennis Fisker - photo @clipmyhorse
Danish national coach for pony, junior and young riders Dennis Fisker took the victory in tonights Intermediate I with Malaysian owned Rosenstolz. Back in the spring 2018 Dennis showed Rosenstolz at international small tour level for the first time, and since then Malaysian Qabil Ambak has been competing the 14 year old HANN gelding.
Dennis showing a strong test with lovely balance and power, only weak point is the walk tour today, where the collected walk was lacking clear rhythm, and the extended walk becomes a bit limited.
Rosenstolz / Dennis Fisker DEN - nice halt, well balanced diagonal, nice balanced shoulder in, good volte, bit unbalanced half pass right, good halt with rein back, nice half pass left, smooth volte, bit open shoulder in, super diagonal, collected walk with tensions, lack more over the back for extended walk, good transition to canter, well balanced zigzag, good extended canter, super 3 times, nice pirouettes, super 2 times, late transition to trot, power diagonal, super halt.
Second place today for debut combination 8 year old Danish Warmblood stallion Hesselhøj Donkey Boy with Jan Møller Christensen. Donkey Boy and Jan has been very successful during the young horse years, and won silver at World Championship for Young Horses last year in Ermelo and became national champion for 7 year old horses in Denmark. Today with an overall very nice test, with just some minor issues which was clearly due to lack of experience at this level.
