Grand Prix Freestyle
Dujardin and MSJ Freestyle without real competition for today Grand Prix freestyle. Winner with 11% says it all.
Charlotte Dujardin / MSJ Freestyle - super strong performance, unfortunately a small canter for the first extended trot at the diagonal, but from there a smooth power test, very nice choreography showing piaffe fan, half passes in passage and double pirouettes, 1 & 2 times on slight curved track, joker line with one times at the centerline. From H2R point of view the music could be a bit more personal and powerful. 88,345%
Charlotte and Carl with same issues yesterday and today
Yesterday both MSJ Freestyle and En Vogue became spooky and was spinning at the 2nd piaffe tour in the Grand Prix, and today both lost the balance and jumped into canter for the first extension, En Vogue in Grand Prix Special and MSJ Freestyle in the Grand Prix freestyle - very weird coincidences.
