15 startende i Stuttgart
Det er en nydelse at følge sporten på aller højeste niveau, når nuancerne giver forskellene under vejs.
Ikke uventet vandt Isabell Werth med Weihegold igen i dag. Piaffe og passage ture, hvor der er ild i jorden på en positiv måde. Dog fnyser Weihegold et par gange i den 2. piaffe tur, og det giver sig udslag i et par uens piaffe trin frem mod overgangen til galop, hvor man tydeligt fornemmer at hun står højt i tændingen, men Isabell bevarer rutineret kontrollen. Zig-zag galoppen bliver også med lidt spændinger og det ser ud som om Weihegold holder lidt på sig selv under vejs. Pirouetter og serier af højeste kvalitet. Super flot 1. del af passage frem mod sidste piaffe. Fantastisk piaffe og overgang ud, men desværre mangler skarpheden til hele den sidste passage frem mod afslutningsparaden. 84,340%
Desperados og Kristina Bröring-Sprehe bliver nr. 2 med 79,140%. Måske ikke helt det niveau hvis man ser H2R twitter kommentarerne under vejs:
Momentvis virker Desperados ikke så smidig og løs som man tidligere har set ham, og ligeledes fører han også bagparten lidt ind til højre flere gange under vejs.
Britiske Spencer Wilton og Super Nova II vil også være med i toppen. Super timing, også selvom man umiddelbart godt kunne ønske sig lidt mere power i piaffen, så ligner det et helt bevidst valg, at ride med "håndbremsen" lidt trukket i den øvelse. Masser af kraft, balance og kvalitet uden fejl. 74.980%.
Nyt par internationalt var spanske Borja Carrascosa med Foco Loco W. God harmoni mellem hest og rytter. Flot piaffe / passage billede med udtryksfuld og regelmæssigt tryk af jorden. Der indløber lidt spændinger i starten af etter serien, hvor Foco Loco sparker ud efter hjælpen. En spændende ekvipage at følge i fremtiden, da der umiddelbart ikke er nogle øvelsesmæssige svagheder.

15 combinations at start in Stuttgart today
It is a pleasure to follow the sport at the highest level with the nuances and the small differences along the way.
Not unexpectedly won Isabell Werth with Weihegold OLD again today. Piaffe and passage tours where there is "fire in the ground" in a positive way. However Weihegold snorts a few times in the second piaffe tour, and towards the canter transition there are some high tension, but Isabell retain experienced the control. Zig-zag canter is also with some tensions and it looks like as if Weihegold is holding back her breath a bit. Pirouettes and series of highest quality. Super nice first part of the passage towards the last piaffe. Great piaffe and transition out, but sadly lacking sharpness throughout the last passage towards the final halt. 84.340%
Desperados and Kristina Bröring-Sprehe are 2nd with 79.140%. Maybe not quite that high scoring if you look into H2R twitter comments along the way:
Today Desperados does not look as smooth and supple as we have seen him before, and also he leads also hindquarters slightly into the right several times along the way.
British Spencer Wilton and Super Nova II took a well deserved spot in the top of the class. Super timing, even if you immediately could ask for a little more power in the piaffe, it looks like a deliberate choice from Spencer with the "handbrake" slightly pulled for this exercise. Plenty of power, balance and quality without error for the rest of the test. 74.980%.
New pair internationally were Spanish Borja Carrascosa with Foco Loco W. Good harmony between horse and rider. Beautiful piaffe / passage image with expressive and regular steps of the ground. Some tensions at the start of the one time series where Foco Loco kicks by first change. An exciting combination to follow for the future, as there are immediately no exercise weaknesses.
