Top performance = +80%
For Jessica and Dalera this was their 2nd +80% Grand Prix test, first time was back in February at World Cup in Neumünster with 81,500%. Strong strong well balanced test, for the tiny details the passage tours were showing a bit tensions hind, but the final centerline was with really World Class balance, power and expression.
Laura Tomlinson with just 3rd international GP with DSP Rose of Bavaria
Placed 4th today was British Laura Tomlinson with her just 10 year old Bordeaux daughter Rose of Bavaria. They start their test with a very expensive entering halt where Rose just decide to make a turn before Laura straight away bring her back on the centerline to start their test. From first impression the tongue unfortunately look a bit visible a the right side with slight open mouth, the first extensions at the diagonal lacking bit more clear balance, half passes with nice bending but becomes slow and lacking more lightness in the hand, nice halt with rein back, good diagonal, nice into expressive passage, smooth transitions and active piaffe at the spot, extended walk need more let go and stretching over the back, active collected walk in good rhythm, superb transition to passage at M, super suspension and regularity for the passage, active into piaffe, superb piaffe and easy active out, nice transition to canter, good 2 times tiny swinging, nice extended canter with change at the diagonal, zigzag bit unbalanced and Rose becomes very hard in the contact, super nice 1 times but unfortunately an error at the end, 1st pirouette with good balance and 2nd with outstanding balance and quality, good transition to trot, nice diagonal and very sharp final centerline.
