Elvive and Lyndal Oatley - photo @clipmyhorse
International debut victory
Such a please to watch this outstanding mare Elvive by Tuschinski / Blue Hors Don Schufro together with Australian Lyndal Oatley.
This mare is very special to Lyndal, and watching them from the “side line” is also very special. Lovely balanced and supple all the way, and it looks a bit like all the exercises are executed in slow motion, not that any of the movements are slow at all but so much harmony and balance even though with some tiny issues today.
The photo above is pretty much the full picture of the Elvive and Lyndal test today.
Straight balanced entering halt, power balanced diagonal, supple huge crossing half passes, small disturb by transition, nice halt super rein back just 4 steps, power expressive diagonal, smooth into passage, active off the ground passage, superb sit and balance in active piaffe, easy transitions, nice over track for extended walk could let go a bit more, good collected walk, nice into passage, small tension in the contact begin of passage, superb 2nd piaffe, smooth in and out, nice into canter, superb 2 times balanced uphill over full diagonal, nice extended canter, well balanced zigzag, nice 1 times, super sit small lost of balance 1st, 2nd bit stocked but huge sit and quality, power diagonal, very nice final centerline. 73,087%
Super exciting young horse for Dutch Thamar Zweista with her just 8 year old impressive grey stallion Hexagon´s Ich Weiss by Rubiquil / Negro. No weaknesses, lot of expression and mechanic in the movements. They already made their debut back in February in Le Mans.
Unfortunately Patrik Kittel was eliminated together with his top horse Well Done de la Roche, as judge at C stopped them after final halt and apparently found traces of blood.
