Description
Diederik van Silfhout's Four Seasons looked tired in the freestyle. The horse has his peak moment in Rotterdam it seemed. Gothenburg was too much on this gelding's plate. He made his CDI debut at GP level only this year.

Patrik Kittel and Delaunay rode to "Hot in the City" and "Dancing with Myself". The Oldenburg often looked angry in several movements and the canter work lacked collection, but the half passes were lovely
