Florestan x Weltmeyer scored 78.58%, the top score
of the class. The second best small tour horse was
the chestnut Scandic (by Solos Carex). Under the Swedish
Patrik Kittel, Scandic scored 72.83%. Diederik van
Silfhout and Special D received 70.16% from the judges'
panel.
The Trakehner stallion Gribaldi (by Kostolany x Ibikus)
was the top scorer at Grand Prix level. Edward Gal
and Gribaldi had some miscommunications in their ride,
but the walk was good and tension seemed to disappear
after this movement in the test. The pair scored 72.50%and
won the Gand Prix Kur. The young Thamar Zweistra scored
70.41% aboard the 16-year old Rubiquil (by Rubinstein).
The pair stood out with their tempi changes on the
centerline and engaged passage, but the walk was too
tense.
The VHO Trophy was awarded to the owners of Floriancio,
who became the overall winner of this freestyle class.
