Arjen
Teeuwissen Skipping Details
It
is commonly known that Gestion Goliath T (by Zebulon)
excels in his piaffe and passage but in his freestyle
these movements are so predominantly inserted that Goliath
gets tired at the end of the test and skips a few paces
in the piaffe and rendering his passage not entirely
fluent at all times. It were the little details which
set Arjen Teeuwissen on a final third position, but
there
is hope for the future. The hesitating moments can be
pushed out of the test by training and the Goliath-Arjen
combination is still young. The musical score was pretty
nice. Castanets for the piaffe and passage, trumpets
for canter and extended gaits, it all sounded quite
well.
Judge at C, Stephan Clarke was very enthusiastic about
the pair in the final press conference. "Gestion Goliath
is the best horse I have ever seen. He has excellent
gaits, he has everything what
a modern dressage horse should possess. To beat the
competition he still has to improve on the details,"
Clarke stated.
