Best combination in the 1st part was German Dorothee Schneider with Sammy Davis Jr. scoring 74,529%. Lovely light picture eventhough you might wish for a bit more closed frame from hind, and also the ability to take more weight for the pirouettes. Error free test with top timing from experienced Dorothee Schneider.
Adrienne Lyle and her young Salvino did a good test. Salvino looked a bit impressed from the atmosphere from the huge arena. Lovely power for piaffe / passage and transitions - 71,814%.
Swedish Malin Nilsson and her Bon-Ami looked quite unimpressed from their new surroundings. Over all picture with nice harmony and over view, no technical errors. Only small thing is the transitions into piaffe lacking more activity and 1st part of piaffe also a bit quiet, but becomes every time better - 70,557%. They really look like a new Swedish team member.
Danish Daniel Bachmann Andersen and his just 9 yr old stallion Blue Hors Don Olymbrio showed an error free test with a nice focused young stallion. Of course still lacking the last strength for the demanding piaffe/passage tours and pirouettes. For sure a great experience and good performance from this up-coming Danish combination - 68.614%.
