Today’s final was not surprisingly with the 8 year old stallion Villeneuve and Dorothee Schneider at top of the podium, as they already at yesterday's “warm-up” test showed great qualities and won. Dorothee Schneider shows an effortless test with the big impressive stallion, and manage all the time to keep a well balanced and easy picture.
Villeneuve / Dorothee Schneider - bit unbalanced into halt, good power diagonal, smooth half passes, power diagonal, nice transition into walk, marching extended walk, super collected walk with nice pirouettes, well balanced canter pirouettes, change after 1st by himself, good canter half passes, good series lacking a bit more uphill expression, bit tense rein back, good final halt.
2nd today was the Vivaldi son Vainqueur with Hubertus Schmidt, well managed all the way but the big stallion is clearly lacking some more strength.
Today judge Christoph Hess was subsequently commenting each ride for the audience, and as usual with super details and often with development from former performances.
