Nürnberger Burg-Pokal

Danish Warmblood mare Straight Horse Ascenzione with Helen Langehanenberg look like the top candidates for the Nürnberger Burg-Pokal title 2021 with a super performance today scoring 76,976%. Lovely light footed, well balanced and powerful all the way and still with room for improvement makes the odds for the title pretty high. No technical issues, 3 supple gaits without any weaknesses and super abilities.

Danish Daniel Bachmann Andersen with Caracciola MT finish 7th with 72,195% with a few issues for today’s test. Canter out of entering halt and the 4 times with some extra changes and tiny against the hand for rein back at the final centerline.

Louisdor Preis

Total Hope OLD and Isabel Freese look like the new Louisdor Preis winners 2021, but nothing sure before final halt tomorrow. Overall impressions from today was an obedient and supple Total Hope without any technical issues and with absolute highlights for the canter tour with lovely pirouettes and superb flying changes.

Hot Hit and Frederic Wandres showed their test with the whip today and whether it will change the qualities without we will know after tomorrow´s final as it is not allowed to bring the whip for the final. They show a very nice and obedient test with very nice qualities.

Fabienne Müller-Lütkemeier showed her two young Vitalis Grand Prix horses Valencia AS and Valesco and was placed 3rd and 4th today. Lovely expressive and obedient horses, both lacking bit more balance and clear rhythm for the walk tours, but lovely supple trot tours and superb flying changes and nice quality pirouettes.
