Gal and Zonik winner today, but very close race with Juliette Ramel with Buriel, and a look at the scoreboard judge at B Francis Verbeek-van Rooij (NED) saw Gal 3% ahead of Ramel!
From H2R point of view clearly a difference of the overall harmony in the advantage of Ramel today.
Glock’s Zonik NED - super halt and direct forward, power extension, good half passes, bit open halt resist rein back, good 1st piaffe/passage with good transitions, superb walk, bit tensions hind for passage, good 2nd piaffe, good 2 times, zigzag need bit more balance, super 1 times, 2nd pirouette with nice balance, power diagonal, good centerline.
Last to go Buriel KH SWE - bit unbalanced halt, good diagonal, nice half passes, tense rein back, super passage easy in and out of active piaffe at the spot, good walk, super 2nd piaffe 12 steps, super 2 times, bit conservative extended canter, super zigzag, nice 1 times, wow 1 pirouette, 2nd tiny sideways at final, super diagonal, superb final - WINNER from H2R 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Dante Weltino OLD SWE - super power test without technical issues, active piaffe tours small lack of balance in the piaffes, and one times with some tensions.
British team 3rd
A strong performance from British Van Olst Horses rider Charlotte Fry with Dark Legend secured the Brits the 3rd place in the team ranking after today’s Grand Prix. Fry is showing a strong test with nice forward flow all the way. At the moment Lottie looks like the 4th member of the British team for the Europeans.
Dark Legend GBR - power diagonal, smooth half passes, open halt and bit tense rein back, good transition to passage, active piaffe becomes bit high in the neck, good walk, good 2nd piaffe tour, nice 2 times, well balanced zigzag, good 1 times, super nice control for both pirouettes, smooth transition to trot, super final centerline.
Unfortunately there were some technical issues for the streaming during most of the Grand Prix class today, which made it very complicated to follow.
