CDI4 Grand Prix Special with percentage similarity in the top

Jagerbomb & Becky Moody - (screenshot Clipmyhorse)

Dorothee Schneider with Dayman and Becky Moody with Jagerbomb with equal percentage

From watching both tests there were absolute no doubt about the winner eventhough Becky and Jagerbomb had a mistake for the one times at the diagonal. Everything was just better than for Dorothee with Dayman, unfortunately not reflected at the scores from the entire judging team today. Judge a C, German Ulrike Nivelle was spot with her placements as she had 1 Jagerbomb, 2 Dante Weltino, 3 Gotilas de Feuillard and 4 Dayman. French judge Alban Tissot also saw Jagerbomb and Moody in winner position.

Becky and Jagerbomb are trained by Carl Hester.

Same percentage

The international rule says the highest total median score of the judges will decide the placing. The median score is the score in the middle, the scores need to be put in ascending numerical order.

Dayman scores: 73,085 - 73,936 - 74,574 - 75,638 - 75,745

Jagerbom scores: 74,043 - 74,362 - 74,362 - 74,894 - 75,319

Balance and harmony pure

When a combination as Becky Moody and Jagerbomb is able to show at highest level with power, balance, expression, suppleness and in a picture perfect frame and contact like today it is pure harmony, also with a mistake and of course still room for improvement.

From H2R point of view this is the way dressage is gonna be presented in 2024.
