Stephanie Jansen (who once rode the
six-year-old Dornik Double to vice champion title) and her 5-yr-old
Pretender, a horse she picked herself as a two-year-old and trained
herself so far, guided by Jan Nivelle. She got a very nice, encouraging
commentary for her harmonious presentation and placed 6th in the finals.

They are the only pair in the 5-year old Dressage Horse Finals that scored a 10. They got a ten for their beautiful, relaxed trot work |
