Hermés and Dina van Liere - photo @clipmyhorse
🇳🇱9 year old Hermés by Easy Game / Flemmingh with Dinja van Liere showed why they were selected for the Olympics for the Dutch team.
Hermés is not a spectacular mover. Dinja presents the young stallion in a super frame, always in front of the aides, well balanced and supple, when she is asking a bit more in the piaffe he is just answering with a clear yes. Easy supple obedient test and for the subsequent prize giving ceremony he was just standing fully relaxed all the time, while both Dark Legend and Fiontini were somewhat tense and moving around.
