Lissaro van de Helle showed why he took the lead

You can have many opinions about how the horses must go and be presented by their rider, but today had Claudia Rüscher the five-year-old Lissaro van de Helle (silver winner from the World Championship last month) exactly where he should be. The whole test easy and effortless, although Claudia gives the immediate impression that Lissaro is not the most comfortable to sit on. He is nice to bridle the whole test and corresponds nice to all signals from his rider. Winner characters: trot 9,5 - walk 9, 5 - 9.0 canter - rideability 8.5 - overall impression 9.5 = 9.2.

Uta Gräf and Damon Jerome by Damon Hill. The horse is super nice presented. You just sit again, just as by the World Championship, with the feeling that there is too little all the way round apart from the walk and the equality of the rider and education. Trot 8.5 - walk 9.0 - 8.0 canter - rideability 9.0 - overall impression 9.0 = 8.7.

Horatio by Hochadel / Matcho AA with Dorothee Schneider shows this testsclass most correct halt and reinback and the amazing walk, although today there was a little tension at the beginning of the test. A light footed and modern horse with a really lovely way to get of the ground in all three gaits. Trot 8.5 - walk 8.5 - 8.5 canter - rideability 8.5 - overall impression 9.0 = 8.6.

Sarkozy by Sandro Hit / Weltmeyer with Eva Möller was somewhat more positive by today's work than by the world championship last month. Trot 8.0 - walk 9.0 - 8.5 canter - rideability 8.0 - overall impression 9.0 = 8.5.

Preziosa by Belissimo M / Piast. Champion as four year-old. By the exercise where the rider must give long reins and the horse must extend the neck, Preziosa in a completely different rhythm, which shows that the trot is completely designed by this the young mare. Trot 8.0 - walk 9.0 - 8.5 canter - rideability 8.0 - overall impression 8.5 = 8.4.

Weihegold OLD with Wulferding Kira, a beautiful mare who right now looks like one that would prefere to be the mother of her own foals (several embryo foals) and take a break from the competition life. But always cooperative which must be a pleasure to work in the everyday. Trot 8.5 - walk 9.0 - 8.0 canter - rideability 8.0 - overall impression 8.5 = 8.4.

Baron de Ley W - read separate news.

Heinglein's Licosto by Licotus / Rosenkavalier. A beautiful well moving stallion, which unfortunately lacks of natural power from behind. Tror 8.5 - walk 8.0 - 8.5 canter - rideability 7.5 - overall impression 8.5 = 8.2.

Schumacher by Stedinger / Weltmeyer with Claudia Rüscher. World championship bronze winners. Today with a small desturb by the first pirouette and changing by the one counter canter. Trot 9.0 - walk 7.5 - 8.5 canter - rideability 7.5 - overall impression 8.5 = 8.2.

Repertoire by Royal Olymp / Riccione. Wow what a stallion. Super model and in each step quich of the ground, and again shows the rider Ronald Lüders his amazing ability to affect discreet and get the horse to go for very light aids. Commentator noted that the stallion this year had been placed in Class M (still only 5 years). Trot 8.5 - walk 8.0 - 8.0 canter - rideability 7.5 - overall impression 8.5 = 8.1.
