Sport at top level with team gold medal combination in front tonight
Heline´s Danciera and Carina Cassøe Krüth with their best ever Grand Prix performance (from H2R point of view).
Super form, motivated, smooth, powerful and supple - the victory was clear for the Danish team gold combination. Passage, frame, extensions and walk was just in a league of their own today, and judges still just with a single 9 for extended walk! The first piaffe becomes a bit unbalanced where the final piaffe at the centerline is shown with high quaility.
The winner followed by three “new” combinations. Nanna Merrald with Blue Hors St. Schufro, Andreas Helgstrand with Jovian and Daniel Bachmann Andersen with Zippo M.I.. As St. Georg magazine just wrote in their update about tonight´s top performances “It is not for nothing that the Danes became world champions in the dressage arena in Herning this year. In today's Grand Prix for tomorrow's World Cup freestyle we saw three team world champions in the first four places, of which only one had saddled her World Championship horse.”
Nanna and St. Schufro really suits each other - great harmony, power and lightness in one package. Jovian and Andreas also seems to be a perfect match, from the side line they could be a challenge to judge, but huge cadeau for today´s judging team 4 x 74,079% that´s pretty much spot on. Daniel and Zippo with super harmony and top timing all the way they just seem to be building up a partnership with qualities for the top of the sport.
