6 year old

A couple of surprisingly decision were made by the 6 year old today. No doubt Damaschino is a very nice horse, but the fact was that the flying changes were far from well settled for the 6 year old level, and at the same time is Vaderland with Dinja van Liere is clearly missing at the list, as they showed a very well balanced and impressive test, but from judges point of view not good enough to get an extra chance at the final selection. As Dr. Plewa stated they want to see more clear connection between front and hind like they want to a longer frame for the extensions.

27 combinations were at start and a total of 16 combinations are ready for the final selection.

The stallion Va Bene was also among the selected horses, but could show more closed frame in general and for most of the test the contact and mouth was not 100% steady.
