Bundeschampion Maxi Kraft´s Barcelo OLD by Bon Coeur / Caprimond, bred by 🇩🇰Stutteri Atterupgaard - rider Tessa Frank
Earlier this year Tessa and Barcelo were qualified for the Bundeschampionate with a super score of 8,6, and they also took part in the German Young Horse selection for World Championships, but were not selected. Yesterday they won the very prestigious Bundeschampion Title for the 6 year old horses.
They came from the qualifier Thursday with at 4th place in the second part with a total score of 8,2.
Barcelo is out of one of Denmark´s most successful dam lines, as the dam Atterupgaards Dicte is full sister of international top horse Atterupgaards Cassidy, and Dicte is dam of no less than 4 licensed stallions and many medal mares.
Some of the comments from Dr. Dietrich Plewa:
Dynamic horse with lots of elasticity for the trot, the working trot could be presented a bit more fresh and forward, very spacious, powerful of the ground from behind, keeping the same cadence at turned lines, walk with super 4-beat, tiny trend of marching in front, very good through the body with clear active hind legs, 100% clear beat between the walk pirouettes, highlight was the big spacious canter with huge potential for collection and uphill. Very good at the riders aides, lovely well balanced, high basic qualities and educated correct according to the scale of education.
