2nd stallion competition was in Ermelo, and from the streaming angle it was with all spectators seats full.

When watching the streaming and the final results it becomes a bit different while at the Dutch stallion competitions it’s highest basic gaits for the victory, where everywhere else is decided by the capacity (potential) or the rideability (harmoni), as the 3 stallions were with equal 92 points were ranked 1, 2 and 3.

It is very difficult to get the full picture of each horse from the streaming when there are more than one horse in the arena at the time, but said that, it was difficult to see a difference of 1,5 points from the walk of Taminiau and Kjento. And this time Minderhoud was “struggling” a bit keeping King Karim in top balance all the way.

Clear winner from H2R point of view was Kjento by Negro / Jazz presented by Charlotte Fry. This stallion just gets more matured and balance from every time he is presented. Lovely frame, super self carriage for both trot and canter and off the ground all the time, and with a good clear active walk with good over track - Ermelo´s best 4 year old yesterday.
