Jessica and Dalera were just doing their things together again today. Smooth, powerful and correct, spiced with their quality passage tours with smooth transitions in and out of piaffe at the spot, on the hind legs well balanced in a clear active rhythm.
Best Danish combination today was Carina and Danse. Expressive with power and quality performance. Today’s high lights were extensions, walk tour and two OUTSTANDING well balanced and tiny pirouettes.
Daniel shows Zippo in a very nice test. H2R is a big fan of the way Daniel is not asking more than Zippo is able to perform.
We all looked forward to watch Bohemian and Cathrine back in the arena. From the beginning they looked sharp, but unfortunately Bohemian had a clearly different agenda for today’s piaffe tours as you could already see that something wasn’t right when Catherine entered the first piaffe as she had to ask quite clearly for him to do his job, but managed well. For the next two piaffe tours Bohemian seemed to have his agenda for not showing his normal master pieces. Very costly and unfortunate. Hopefully they will recover for tomorrow’s freestyle.
For Helgstrand with 8 year old Queenparks Wendy it became a very short Grand Prix as they were stopped by judge at C Hans Christian Matthiesen, as there was visual blood in the mouth.
