Queenparks Wendy and Jameson RS2 in a special league
Home soil favorite Jameson with Marieke van der Putten did not disappoint the sharp audience, but the big difference between him and Queenparks Wendy was the walk.
Jameson showing a bit limited walk while Queenparks Wendy shows top relaxation through the body walk. Jameson shows extraordinary extensions for both trot and canter, while the collected canter with turns and counter canter lacking a bit more clear rhythm of the ground. Here Wendy becomes a bit hurried for the trot extensions, but super balanced for all the canter work no matter if it is collected or extensions. Both horses were presented in a lovely 100% steady frame.
Queenparks Wendy 🇩🇰 / Andreas Helgstrand - good halt, top motivated active trot tour in good balance, bit hurried extensions, good halt small tensions for rein back, super nice walk tour with good relaxation and nice over track, super well balance canter tour including very nice simple change and nice balance for counter canter, nice stretching for longer reins. Super presentation.A very correct presentation from Dorothee Schneider with Dante´s Hit placed them as overall 4th. Dante´s Hit is well balanced in all three gait, but lacking bit more strength to make the picture more powerful.
Jameson RS2 🇳🇱 / Marieke van der Putten - active light footed trot tour, super nice extensions uphill, bit tense halt with rein back, good walk but could show bit more over the back, bit tensions for collected canter, super extensions, nice simple change, good transition to trot, nice stretching for longer reins.
Dante´s Hit 🇩🇪 / Dorothee Schneider - good trot tour nice balance, lack bit more push for extensions, tense halt with rein back, today's best walk tour so far, good canter tour lack bit more over all power, but very correct presentation.
