2000 CHIO Aachen

Chacomo, the Macho Man

ChacomoVery impressing was Alexandra Simons-De Ridder's performance on her Holsteiner Chacomo. After being ill for a long time, Simons-De Ridder came back slowely but she did it with great brilliance. Her Calypso I decendant was probably the most consistent horse in Aachen.

Chacomo is a real macho. The power he exhales is phenomenol. In the extended trot the bay stretches out so far with his hind and front legs while he maintains a great rhythm and balance. The only problem to be detected was that in the pirouettes Chacomo came deep and tight and the neck. Furthermore, the transition to piaffe could have been more confirmed.
