Description
Balkenhol & Dablino were good but not great. The passage and piaffe were lovely and regular but judges were only willing to give 7s for them. The walk was tense and not so clear in rhythm and the change after the extended canter was in 2 phases.

Children of a Lesser God: Swedish pair Annette Christensen and Normandie are not a well known star pair, but their piaffe absolutely deserves a 10. However "no name no game" and the judges with their blurred vision only scored it 7.

Victoria Max-Theurer on Augustin. The massive bay is such a high-quality sleep but he was lulled to sleep during this ride. The trot extensions were powerless despite their buoyancy. He also stalled in passage. In piaffe he has amazing sit.
