4 year old
16 best combinations from today are ready for the final, 6 more to come from the semifinal which takes place Saturday. The final is Sunday.
Unfortunately there were some technical issues for the stream and the first two riders were missing, among them today´s 2nd placed Rosee de Fontaine with Maria Anita Andersen.
H2R focus about 4 year old
From H2R point of view the 4 year old championships should be about finding the best 4 year old horse judges from balance, self carriage, lightness in both contact and movements and regularity of each gait. The influence from the rider is of course a major factor, but at the same time you don´t want to see a “constructed” 4 year old.
Blue Hors Don Olymbrio offspring
Remember Me DWB by Blue Hors Don Olymbrio / Sezuan with Anna Zibrandtsen was the most correct young horse including the presentation, easy light going, natural frame, good balance and clear gaits, like also LIlle Kærgårds Sisco DWB by Blue Hors Don Olymbrio / Stedinger ridden by Silje Bakken, nice natural uphill frame, light of the ground movements forward to a steady contact.
4 year old directly qualified for the final:
7 year old
As usual the 7 year old level is a quite difficult task. From H2R point of view the top combinations definitely look like candidates for the international small tour scene. Among the top combinations were three of this years WCYH participants with winner Everian L, Highfive Fuglsang and EVO Schubidoo.
Anna Kasprzak with Everian L by Everdale / Hochadel showed a very strong performance without any issues and a lot of highlights with a technical score of 80,156%. In general good technical performances from the 8 best performances today. The two combinations Suarez with Signe Kirk Kristiansen and Scagletti V with Karin Nissen, both by Sezuan were “new” and very promising combinations with very good overall qualities.
