Overall the 7 year old were with a quite impressive strong top. Super well educated and ready for the 7 year old task - serious contenders at the podium in Ermelo.
Often the 6 year old level is difficult. No exception even in a very established and strong education system as the German, today only with two combination being able to perform their test without technical issues and still showing quality and surplus.
Normally the 5 year old is the “easy” part, but it is also where the talented horses with strength and three very good gaits will show their advantage. When selecting here it must still with the eye for the big future, and here one horse is missing Sir Johny by Sir Heinrich / Jazzmate with Stefanie Serowv. A horse with three good basic gaits, obedient, active from behind - a horse showing qualities for further education.
