From H2R point of view “today´s winner”
With today’s German judging team Monica Theodoreacu, Dr Dietrich Plewa and Reinhard Richenhagen the 5 year old horses were selected for the final selection taking place 4th of July.
After each test Mr. Plewa was commentating the ride, and from the comments but also from the performance 🇩🇰Danish Mette Sejbjerg Jensen and About You II were the “winners”.
Mr. Plewa said: “well deserved applause, it was a really well performed test except the rein back, with tension in the contact but still clear for the diagonal rein back rhythm. Impressive trot work totally in balance also on the curved tracks and turns, always with the same cadence, medium trot exact with the correct power, clearly uphill trend nice from behind, elastic without tensions and expressive, the walk through the body, very nice contact and search for the rider hand, nice over track, active and with clear beat, everything with very good quality, the canter in 3-beat, could show bit more collection with a bit more volume and airtime. Rideability score would be affected from the obedience from the horse, very good simple change, a horse with a very nice perspective.”
Rosee de Fointaine with Maria Anita Andersen with a solid well balanced presentation, but overall the frame could be shown a bit more open throughout the entire presentation. Be Sure and Thomas Sigtenbjerggaard with a good overall presentation but throughout the full relaxation was missing.
Also at H2R top list from today and clear pick for the Championships:
Happy Days Di Fonteabeti - active well balance mare with good expression.
San to Alati - super presentation, good expression and well balanced.
Santos - best of the Secret sons, easy supple of the ground movements.
Sir Johny - very nice obedient and with good quality gaits.
There is no room for technical errors as no 88 Mille Grazie a Carree by Millennium / Sandro Hit. A really nice small black power mare, unfortunately with some tensions today and therefore not selected for the final.
Surprisingly St. Athletique by St. Schufro / Hofrat was not at the list with Heiko Klausen like the well moving Titania K by Top Gear / Prestige Pilot with Leonie Richter.
