Mount St. John Freestyle and Charlotte Dujardin - photo credit: Lily Forado
From first to last step with so much positive power, expression and quality - Mount St. John and Charlotte Dujardin are just in a league of their own. No technical issues and well balanced all the way exept a tiny issue with the first pirouette lacking a bit more quality and balance.
Just about 4% below Charlotte showed her chestnut power boy Gio by Apache. Super expressive trot tour, strong piaffe/passage tours, super walk tour, start of canter tour with a bit of tensions but well managed all the way.
Carl Hester and Charlotte Dujardin´s gelding En Vogue made their international debut together tonight. Bit tense start with canter at the first diagonal, bit conservative half passes, rein back with some tensions, piaffe/passage tours with bit tensions but huge ability and quality, the walk tour was lacking more overall relaxation, super nice canter tour with good series and super pirouettes. Really nice picture and exciting new combination.
