Sweden will for sure fight for the team podium

Juliette Ramel and her top power horse Buriel K.H. showed top qualities for the piaffe and passage tours including the transitions. Bit running for the extended trot tours, lack bit bend for half passes, tensions for the walk and runs a bit into the riders hands for the canter tour. Not exact at 75,248% test.

The German ladies just knows all about timing

Ones again today Germany´s team rider showed how to performe. Dorothee Schneider and Sammy Davis Jr scored very well with 75,062%. Good halt, nice extensions, half passes could show more suppleness, dragging frontlegs for the rein back, small unbalance for the first piaffe, expressive passage but not really pushing from behind, bit short walk, good series and super timing for zig-zag canter, good pirouettes and super final.

Spain’s Beatrice Ferrer-Salat with her long time partner Delgado showed a polished test, but now the 18-year-old horse is lacking more suppleness for the overall picture. But the performance was enough to bring Spain in front of Denmark for the team competition. Score 72,919%.

Seems that the scoring now is coming higher. A bit worried for tomorrows scoreboard.
