Both top scores today with error in both two times and one times

77,587% for Werth with Bella Rose and 75,652% for Schneider with Showtime, and both test with room for improvement. 

The lightness Bella Rose is going with is just impressive, and picking up a detail from Werth´s test today could be the way she just sit back taking a half halt from a lovely extended trot into the first passage without any tensions or disturb, just full focus and respons from Bella Rose. The pirouettes lacking more clear canter rhythm and airtime. 

Showtime and Dorothee with bit unbalanced transitions out from today's piaffe tours, and today also with slightly forward trend for the piaffes. 

Today Jessica von Bredow-Werndl seems to have her hands full, and even though she is doing a very technical correct test the overall impression is a bit too tency. 

Huge judging disagreement for Steffen Peters with Suppenkasper today placing them 10-3-11-4-13. Yes there were some uneven/tense passage steps from hind, where Suppenkasper lifts his left hind leg higher than the right, and the collected walk with some tensions like the transition to passage, series becomes a bit tense also and the balance and straightness is lost for the change between the pirouettes at the centerline.
