Dayman and Dorothee Schneider made their international debut together last summer and today they showed a very solid performance without any weaknesses. Overall well balanced for the trot tour, strong piaffe and passage tours, very good walk tour and solid canter tour. Dorothee will for sure try to go for an Olympic ticket. 73,522%
10 year old Dante Weltino son Jagerbomb and Becky Moody brings themselves into a very attractive position in this Olympic year with another strong performance. This is first time they compete outside Great Britain as all their experience has been on home soil since their Grand Prix debut back in Hickstead May 2023. Overall good flow and go in a nice steady frame with a light contact, nice supple half passes, good power for extension, nice regularity for passage and the piaffe shows some really nice tendency eventhough you could wish for a bit more of the ground steps and more at the spot as they still travels a bit forward, but the regularity still counts compared to some fancy unbalanced steps, strong series, bit unbalanced zigzag and good quality for pirouettes. 72,542%
Hard work pays off
11 yr old gelding Invictus by Jack Sparrow / Voice with Hans Peter Minderhoud showed a good Grand Prix performance scoring 69,543%. It has been more than a challenge for Hans Peter to show Invictus without tensions. When watching them over time you were not in doubt about the qualities but whether it ever would succeed over time was difficult to see from the distance. The experience from Hans Peter Minderhoud now starting to pay off as Invictus shows that they have come far in their partnership in the arena. Still with tensions but Hans Peter look as if he more or less knows what will come and you clearly get the impression of the top qualities from Invictus.
