Dujardin, Merrald and Fry
Dujardin was shining in her usual best way, today with 10 year old Gio by Apache / Tango. When watching Charlotte it´s harmony pure with the always steady soft hands, the light aides and her incredible strong seat. Tiny issues but overall such a high level makes the 78% test.
Nice halt, power diagonal, supple crossing half passes smooth transition, good halt with rein back, power diagonal bit hectic look, super into passage, expressive passage, active piaffe, smooth transitions, good relaxation for extended walk, nice collected walk, super into passage, super 2nd piaffe active off the ground, nice passage, good into canter, good 2 times, nice extended canter, balanced zigzag, small tension mid 1 times, small pirouettes with super control, good extended trot, nice final.
Nanna Merrald and Blue Hors Zack showing “Olympic qualities”
The Olympic qualifier for Nanna and Zack is now ✅and their partnership has really developed positively within pretty short time. Today with a very strong performance even though an error by the two times and the extended walk tour missing a bit more go. Zack is very experienced and together with Nanna he has made a very special bond, and he seems very motivated and not least he looks very fit for fight. From H2R point of view Nanna and Zack are for sure at the Danish (short) long list for Tokyo.
Nice halt, power diagonal, small stumble into half pass, nice flow and go uphill, super halt with rein back, power diagonal, nice into passage, super nice in and out of piaffe, active with nice transitions, extended walk need a bit more activity forward, nice collected walk, nice into passage, bit forward 2nd piaffe, good into canter, error 2 times, super extended canter, nice zigzag, nice 1 times, super sit 1st pirouette, super 2nd pirouette, nice transition to trot, power diagonal, super final. 3rd place with 75,739%.
Charlotte Fry and Everdale on fire today 🔥
Impressive Fry was again today in “attack mode”. Everdale was really on fire, unfortunately with the collected walk tour with more like small steps as Everdale was kind of over motivated. For the one time changes the tempo was pretty high, but not an issue for neither Everdale og Fry. Overall high quality picture.
Good halt, balanced diagonal, crossing supple uphill half passes with super power, super halt with rein back, power diagonal, super into passage, active piaffe, smooth transitions, need to let a bit more let go for extended walk, tense collected walk tour, super passage/piaffe tour, lot of quality, good into canter, nice 2 times, power extension, bit unbalanced zigzag, active 1 times, bit tense hind for 1st pirouette, 2nd better, power diagonal, final piaffe lacking bit more impulsion. 5th place with 73,804%.
