Everdale and Lottie were shining today. Lottie manage to show Everdale in an even more open outline for more parts of the test today, like also the piaffe tours are more relaxed and soft. The extended walk was shown today for a clear 8, but scored 7-8-7-8-7,5. Judge at Christoph Umbach saw the combination at just 71,848 while his collegues were from 76 - 78%. Result 76,152%.
It is a pleasure to watch Everdale at the subsequent pricegiving where just stands and enjoy the atmosphere.
Placed 2nd today is young Raphael Netz with Great Escape Camelot with new Personal Best 73,152%. Lovely side picture, super position and seat, lovely soft hand. A young combination just started their international career last year.
Marlies van Baalen and Habibi with a super solid performance without any technical issues but the walk tour becomes somewhat unbalanced.
Larissa Pauluis with Flambeau was best local combination with 72,500%, but entering the arena Flambeau looked a bit spooky, and Larissa clearly rode the first part of the test to feel if he was with her. Lovely passage, super sit and balance for the piaffe tours.
