Horse Mares and Geldings
Wiebke Borchers on Dantonisius
One pedigree line made a big impression in the 3-year
old mares & geldings class and that was the Don Frederico
(Donnerhall x Consul) x Weltmeyer cross. Both the Champion
and Reserve Champion were Don Frederico x Weltmeyer
get and stood out by their overall suppleness in their
body and first class gaits. The best
one of the two was Dantonisius, who is owned by
the
Swedish
Birgitta
Kjellin. He was eager to work, elastic and uphill.
The only remark to be made is the fact
that he lightly paddled with his front legs.
Pia Kjellstrom on Dark Carlotta
The black Hanoverian Dark Carlotta. The judges were
very generous awarding her trot with a 9.0. Her walk
was exceptional and her canter, which could have been
a bit more groundcovering, earned her an 8.50.
Klarissa Alexandra Liss on Hermione
The Hanoverian mare Hermione (Hohenstein x Wittinger)
was very popular with the judges and earned high marks
for her gaits (9.50 for walk, 9.50 for trot, 9.0 for
canter). The panel apparently saw something that I
didn't see. The horse is extremely high in the whithers,
does not have a flowy top line and, though her gaits
are generally good, they were definitely over appreciated.
Johannes Westendarp on Dark Rose
The points the judges gave to Hermione should have
gone to Dark Rose, an Oldenburg mare by De Niro x Lord
Liberty
G. This delightful black mare has three outstanding
paces, is extremely supple, flowing and engaged in
all three movements and she has lovely knee action.
Dark Rose won the Reserve Champion's Title at the 2005
Oldenburg Elite Mare Show and she should have earned
that same title here in Warendorf.
