Nürnberger Burg-Pokal, a bit like Isabel Freese´s competition
Isabel Freese and the 9 year old HANN stallion Fürsten-Look by Fürstenball / Londonderry, bred by Johannes Sabel and co-owned by HP Horses and Schockemöhle showed a strong winner test today. Freese was also at start with the 8 year old OLD stallion Top Gear by Totilas / Don Frederico, owned by Schockemöhle. They were placed 3rd.
Both test were very accurate and powerful performed, and it is obvious that Isabel Freese with her great experience is able to collected valuable points all the way. Fürsten-Look is a stallion with 3 huge supple paces, and it is kind of challenge to keep it all together, but Freese shows him with super timing and power all the way, she clearly knows where to give and where to take. Lovely frame, super power for extensions, supple half passes, very good walk tour, unfortunately Fürsten-Look lost the balance and rhythm for the 2nd walk pirouette, and showed some tensions for the rein back at the final centerline. Very nice performed canter pirouettes where Fürsten-Look shows huge ability to collected and sit, and also very nice series.
They definitely look like the ones to beat for the final qualification Friday evening, even though there was huge judging disagreement today.
Freese has become kind of Mrs. Nürnberger Burg-Pokal, as she is previous winner with both Vitalis in 2016 and last year with Total Hope OLD, both stallions also co-owned by HP Horses and Schockemöhle.
