Impressions from presentation at triangel and lunging at OLD stallion licensing day 1

Presentation at triangel

Yesterday´s presentation at the triangel became for many of the stallions not the best presentation, as the winter weather really showed itself in a rainy and stormy way, but still with a small group that caught our attention.

  • No 36 Bon Courage / Sezuan - he is the most beautiful stallion and look like a super attitude

  • No 55 Glamourdale / Johnson - well balanced with good overview

  • No 57 Global Player / Fürstenball - compact with good expression and power

  • No 68 Totilas / Sir Donnerhall I - developed since the video presentation. Brings all for a dressage horse

  • No 70 Toto Jr. / Negro - impressive look with power

  • No 81 Zackerey / Londonderry - well balanced modern type

Lunging

As always the lunging part gives a much more clear picture of the future as a dressage stallion.

For the lunging part no 36 Bon Courage / Sezuan stood out with a very nice balance, self carriage and expression for both trot and canter.

Both no 55 Glamourdale / Johnson and no 57 Global Player / Fürstenball were shown with good balance and expression.

No 66 by Totilas / Sir Donnerhall impresses again with nice angle from behind in a good clear rhythm for both trot and canter and showing a nice self carriage.

No 70 by Toto jr / Negro was missing bit more overall relaxation in the body and connection between head and neck look a bit tight.

No 81 by Zackerey / Londonderry with good basic gaits but missing bit more overall suppleness in the body.

New at the lunging list were:

No 37 by Bon Vivaldi / Fürst Romancier - impresses with lovely well balanced power in the trot, the canter missing bit more suppleness and relaxation over the back.

No 71 by Toto Jr / Grey Flanell - with very nice balance and self carriage for both trot and canter.

No 73 by Vitalis / Desperados - nice carriage and balance, still missing a bit strength from behind but with a good angle.

The impressive V-Plus / Sarkozy stallion (from the video presentation), was unfortunately missing for the licensing as he is suffering from a minor infection. He will be presented for the OLD licensing commission later, presumeably for the saddle licensing this spring.
