Matthias Tourbier on the very refined Stasia (by Stedinger x Akinos). Her great grand dam produced many Grand Prix horses

Anja Wilimzig on Sunday NRW

Angel Dorado Martinez on the wonderful PRE stallion Manchego. Huge mover with tremendous scope and ground cover in his gaits but he could be more elastic. Could easily have scored higher!

Isabel Bache on Fairy Tale (by Fidertanz)

Gestut Letter Berg's Florentinus V

Cindy van Vugt on the wonderful Brooklyn (by United). Unfortunately the horse failed in submission and contact with the bit despite fantastic basic gaits

Andreas Helgstrand on NOH's Daijoubo. The name means "Don't Worry" in Japanese.

Karolina Mazurek and Believe in Me

Anja Engelbart on De Champ (by Daddy Cool). Drop dead gorgeous stallion but not enough power in the engine behind

Emmelie Scholtens on Borencio

Polish Thomasz Kowalski on Dirty Lady

Anne Svanberg on Bellman (by Hermes x Prestige)

Tom Franckx-Goen gives Bon Bravour a big pat

Jennifer Sekreve on the super moving Before you Know (by Scandic x Krack C). The stallion was extremely distracted and unattentive to his rider, failing in submission and obedience. Solution? Chop Chop!
