Description
Matthias Rath & Sterntaler had a loss of rhythm in the first extended trot and half pass right. The first piaffe was ok, but in the second the horse jerked his right hind high. The canterwork was excellent but they didn't do enough steps of piaffe at X.

Isabell Werth and Satchmo finished fourth. Beautiful half passes, great trot extensions. In piaffe the horse becomes narrow behind and in the first transition to passage the bay became irregular. The one tempi's showed tension in the topline.

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.
