Prix St Georg victory for Thamar Zweistra with Hexagon´s Mr Magnus. Strong expressive trot tour with power and suppleness, good walk tour, the canter tour is safe but overall missing bit more clear jump of the ground especially for the series.
Top of Prix St. Georg:
CDI3 Grand Prix with 16 yr old Everdale and Lottie on top. Last time they showed was back in April 2024 in Fontainebleu. A very nice partnership to watch.
Supple trot tour with good expression, a small unbalance into the first passage, but catching quickly the very bouncy and expressive passage showing super regularity, easy into active piaffe at the spot and smooth out, good walk tour, nice 2nd piaffe tour, tiny tensions for passage before entering the canter tour, super line of 2 times, super extended canter, change at the diagonal, super line of big 1 times, nice line with pirouettes, smooth into trot, sharp final centerline. 73,652%
Marieke van der Putten ready with two new international Grand Prix horses
11 yr old Zantana RS2 by Zonik / Sir Donnerhall with Marieke van der Putten in the saddle made their international debut today with a very nice performance. Zantana is a super lightfooted mare, nice contact all the way. Lots of power for the trot tour with good abilities and qualities for piaffe / passage, some tensions creeping in but well managed from Marieke all the way. The canter tour still need a bit more overall relaxation. For sure a new top star for the Dutch team. 72,522%
Also international debut for 10 yr old Kuvasz RS2 by Glamourdale / De Niro, well performed without any technical issues, good trot tour, bit tensions hind for piaffe tours, good walk tour, and a really nice like Glamourdale canter tour, super series with power and uphill. 71,848%
Deneuve & Isabell Werth has not shown since Troisdorf October 2023 where they made their Grand Prix debut. No technical issues except for the entering halt and halt for rein back without immobility and the walk tour becomes somewhat short and on the toes. Nice angle for piaffe tours with some tail activity. 70,565%
