Luxembourg rider repeats with another win in today´s S***
The 9 yr old mare Quatre Quartz á l´Orange by Quaterhall / Royal Blend together with Kristine Møller-Engel showed a lot of quality and of course still with some green moments.
Well balanced into entering halt, smooth trot tour active sharp from behind into a light and easy contact. Nice passage, easy in and out of piaffe steps, clear rhythm with ability and power to do the transitions, just need a bit more confidence to stay for a few steps more for the 2nd piaffe. The half passes in good balance, both trot and canter could show a bit more uphill trend, super walk tour, difficult exercise walk into halt with rein back and then transition direct into canter, super obedient and well balanced. Well balanced pirouettes with good sit and super canter quality, into extended canter with an extra change which was the only hiccup, super nice through the body with big canter strides for both the two times and one times. A clear win with 72,195%. A super exciting combination for the future.
Lena Waldmann and Fürst Wili 2nd with 69,919% with a lot of nice things but still missing bit more overall balance and collection.
Kristine was also today placed in S* with Sonnerie Souveraine as no 4 scoring 68,246%. No doubt about the qualities but sometime Sonnerie looks a bit to entusiastic and therefore errors creeping in for both series today which of course brought them bit down the list.
