After the test H2R caught Charlotte Heering for a comment about her performance:
“Such a pity and very expensive. He thought we should do extended canter like in the Grand Prix, and my half halt became a bit to strong and he misunderstood my aides and thought he was gonna make one times like the line in Grand Prix, but for the rest of the test I’m very pleased about our performance,” tells Charlotte Heering.
The Danish national coach Nathalie zu Sayn-Wittgenstein was also very satisfied about Charlotte´s performances in Mannheim. “Charlotte was showing Bufranco in great form and with very good qualities, including nice harmony, lovely frame and motivated all the way both days, except the costly error for the two times today,” says Nathalie.
