“Feines Reiten”

The national event Agravis Cup in Oldenburg with Youngster Dressage Tour (7-9 yr old horses) in S* (Prix St. Georg level).

Top 4 was with absolut “feines Reiten”. Nice correct frame, steady soft contact, supple and obedient horses.

Vitalos by Vitalis / De Niro with Leonie Richter is super impressive in the trot work, good walk tour, the canter is from the basic quality unfortunately not that strong. Missing more suppleness over the back which makes the strides often quick and lacking more volume, which also is reflected today with parallel hind for change after extended canter, tensions for half pirouettes and series.

DSP Diamante Negro by Delorean / Fürst Romancier and Juliane Brunkhorst were showing an effortless and easy performance with overall very nice qualities for all three basic gaits. Great ability for canter half pirouettes and super series. A performance with a clear surplus picture. From H2R point a very interesting horse for the future as he brings presence, qualities and abilities for next level.

Kira Wulferding with the very modern and lightfooted 7 yr old Taycan W by Tolegro / Breitling W. Easy flow and expressive where a few tensions creeping in but for sure a very attractive combination.

Florine KIenbaum shows DSP Big Bang by Bon Coeur / Quadroneur. Super tact and balance with power from hind for each step in the trot tour with good expression. End of the walk tour becomes bit tense. Strong canter tour showing huge ability and strength for half pirouettes and big flying changes of the ground.

Friday afternoon with final starting 15.15 (live at Clipmyhorse).
