For the sport test Danish stud Blue Hors showed 3 stallions:
(4 yr old) Blue Hors Valenzo by Veneziano / Dimaggio / Sandro Hit
Bit to hectic in trot rhythm lacking more over the back suppleness but becomes better during the testing, lack bit more self carriage and balance for canter but nice quality, good walk could show bit more over track. Becomes clearly more supple during the testing.
Trot 7,6 - canter 7,5 - walk 7,5 - test rider 7,8 - overall impression 7,8 = total 7,64
(4 yr old) Blue Hors Fortron by For Romance II / Desperados / Wolken-Hit
Comments from the judges: Lacking more balance for the trot over the back and elasticity, better in canter with good uphill trend better hind, good clear walk need bit more over track.
Trot 7,5 - canter 8,5 - walk 7,7 - test rider 7,7 - over all impression 8,0 = 7,85
(5 yr old) Blue Hors Zackorado by Blue Hors Zack / Florencio I / Donnerhall
Clearly better frame and contact with the test rider today, not equal in the hand of the test rider, best on right hand.
Trot 8,5 - canter 8,0 - walk 8,5 - test rider 7,8 - over all impression 8,0 = 8,14
