Description
Victoria Max-Theurer on Augustin. What a fantastic horse and it didn't even show a third of his potential. The trot extensions were non existent and the ride was quite lethargic. Step it up, if you want to score 80%!

Description
Spanish Jordi Domingo and Prestige. The tempi changes are the absolute highlight of this combination, but the horse is very fixed in the frame. He should swing more forward over the back

Danish Nathalie zu Sayn-Wittgenstein on her home bred Digby (by Donnerhall x Sandro). Not the most extravagant horse in trot, but so nice in piaffe and passage and totally solid in all movements!

Swedish Tinne Vilhelmson on Favourit. Gorgeous pair but the Rhinelander gelding still gets stressed in the piaffe. Vilhelmson is such an amazing, graceful and elegant rider
