2010 Pavo Cup Finals

KWPN youngsters Borencio and Amazing Star went all the way, winning all three rounds including the guest judge rider finals, at the 2010 Pavo Cup Finals hosted at the 2010 KWPN Paardendagen in Ermelo, The Netherlands, on 20 August 2010.

The 5-year old Amazing Star (by Flemmingh x Ferro) continued to excel all the way to the last round. Guest judge riders Carl Hester and Seth Boschman both scored the dark bay stallion a 10 for rideability and potential. "Amazing Star has a fantastic canter and a trot you can go all the way with, both in the collection and extension," said Seth Boschman. 

The 5-year old reserve champion is Apache, a UB40 x Krack C offspring. The dark bay stallion moved from third position (after the first Finals round) to second position ahead of Presidents Avanti and Avatar. Carl Hester scored Apache a 10, Boschman gave him a 9,5. 

Leida Collins-Strijk's 4-year old Borencio (by Florencio x Lord Sinclair) also produced a hattrick and won the 2010 Pavo Cup Finals in his age division. Under Emmelie Scholtens, the bay gelding went into the guest judge finals in the lead and he maintained that number one spot after a 9,0 from Hester and 10 from Boschman. 

"This is a horse with so much talent. He has a good walk, trot and canter, is loose in the back and has a good ability to collected," said Boschman. 

Emmelie Scholtens' second ride, Bretton Woods (by Johnson x De Niro), became the reserve champion. Both guest judge riders gave him a 9,5 but the black stallion totaled 363,5 which was not enough to catch up on Borencio, who had 368,5. The KWPN licensed champion Bordeaux (by United x Gribaldi) finished in third position with a 9,5 from Hester and a 9,0 from Boschman.
