Winning with 7 yr old Everest by Especial/Negro with 88,6 p. Some of the judges comments were:

“He is a very high-quality horse, who moves through the performance with a lot of rhythm and shows a nice consistent approach. He has a good walk and trots with a lot of balance, suppleness and impulsion. He also shows a good rhythm for the canter and the image is very expressive. We have a lot of confidence in him for the future.”

In the 6 yr old class Secret Lover by Secret/Fürstenball won with 89,8.

Some comments from the judges:

“This is a complete and willing horse with a bright future. The walk has good rhythm and is active with plenty of space. At times it was a bit hurried. The trot has a lot of cadence, rhythm and impulsion. We also saw a lot of impulsion in the canter and with a lot of ground cover.”

In the 5 yr old class Pjethro by Kjento/Desperado came second to Pina Colada with equal score of 87,4 p.

Some comments from the judges:

“A willing horse with a lot of quality that was presented very nicely. He gets into the rhythm well with a lot of space, but was sometimes a bit hurried. The trot has a lot of impulsion in good cadence. We saw a lot of jump and impulsion in the canter.”
