Description
Australian Mary Hanna had her hands full on her rising Grand Prix mare Calanta. The bay Johnson offspring was spooky and tense at the start of the test, which led to several big mistakes. While she got more settled in the canter work, the self carriage was not ideal today

Description
Hans Peter Minderhoud was pushing the throttle on Zanardi (by Rubels) today after the horse spooked heavily before entering the ring. The horse has nice sit in piaffe but the hindlegs trail in passage. There were too many small issues for a higher score

Description
Emmelie Scholtens and Apache rode a solid test. The black stallion is very regular and lightfooted in passage. The collected walk was lateral and the onset of the left pirouette big. Overall Apache should have more elasticity in the frame, but Scholtens presented him very consistently

The Lord Sinclair offspring was a bit intimidated by the electric indoor atmosphere but showed nice piaffe-passage work

Description
Diederik van Silfhout and Four Seasons have been struggling to repeat their form from last year. The chestnut no longer looks as sharp. He was often bent to the left and just did not show the same power in piaffe and passage. The canter work was strong, though, and they saved many points there

The 18-year old Tiamo is like red wine: getting better with age. One week ago Jorinde Verwimp scored over 73% for a similar test at the CDI Lier. In Den Bosch her score got stuck at 71%. Either she was underscored or the ones ranked above her overscored.. It's a matter of perspective I presume
