Chacomo, the Macho Man
Very
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.
