Luxembourg rider Kristine Møller-Engel has this weekend brought two talented mares 9 yr old HANN mare Quatre-Quarts á l´Orange by Quaterhall/Royal Blend (breeder Dr. Christian Stampehl, owner Jens Thorsen) and 8 yr old mare Sonnenie Souveraine by Sezuan / Silvermoon (breeder & owner Jens Thorsen) for the national German event at Kranichstein.
This morning Kristine won the S*** with Quatre-Quarts á l´Orange with 70,570% and they showed a test without any technical issues. Quatre does show three really nice and clear basic gaits and for today´s performance of course still some insecure moments for the piaffe & passage tours, but look like a horse with great potential. Strong walk tour, super 1st pirouette to the left and nice series. 17 combinations were at start and among them also topriders as Dorothee Schneider, Thomas Wagner and Lena Waldmann.
Placed combinations in S***:
This afternoon Kristine showed Sonnerie Souveraine in S* unfortunately with two hiccups, the first shoulder in with small canter and error for the end of 3 times. Strong well balanced trot tour, bit short for the walk, but well balanced walk pirouettes and nice canter tour including very nice quality half pirouettes. Overall picture could have been with a bit more let go. Score 71,228% (placed as no 5).
