Third time in a row - they made again
Even with two small issues non of the competitors could touch the already double World Champion Fiontini with spanish top rider Severo Jurado Lopez in the saddle. Power, balance, ability, strength, lightness, suppleness - all in one package.
Silver for Dutch Kirsten Brouwer with Sultan des Paluds, but from the "sideline" this silver should have been bronze. Lovely picture for the collected trot work, for the extension Sultan becomes very short in the frame and a bit hectic. Good walk, bit unbalanced zig-zag canter, 1st pirouette lack a bit more collection.
Second Danish combination on the podium
Another great Danish achievement is for Anne Troensegaard and the trakehner gelding Kipling. Full power and balance for the entire trot tour, even Mr. Hess who was co-commentator at Clipmyhorse was nearly out of words. Super walk tour with nice relaxation and very good walk pirouettes. Lovely control for both canter pirouettes and not least Kipling showing huge ablility for collection and sit. As Anne was 3rd last to go the scoring showed that she a least won the bronze.
Lot of very nice comments during every single test from co-commentator at Clipmyhorse judge Christoph Hess. And for sure a comment Anne will appreciate from Hess, was when he said during the performance from Kirsten Brouwer, that Kirstens canter pirouettes was not at the same quality as pirouettes from "the Danish girl Anne" ;-).
Danish Blue Hors Zee Me Blue and Daniel Bachmann Andersen showed at very nice trot tour, good walk and today the canter becomes with some tensions. Placed no 5, and as Hess after announcement of the scores said - "9,0 for perspective mark seems a bit optimistic, when looking at the issues for the canter tour today".
Beautiful placement as no 9 for Danish Kristine Møller with Standing O´vation, coming to the final with a victory in the semi final.
Danish amateur rider Louise Lind with Jubi´s Tenaclty completes her World Championships as no 13 in the final - what an achievement.
Andreas Helgstrand and his well moving talented Springbank VH are still today struggling with some tensions. They are placed as no 14.
