If Justin Verboomen & Zonik Plus had yesterday, very very, very hot test as the 10-year-old stallion was a little impressed by the track, enough to be shorlty followed by Glamourdale 1 Lottie Fry who made a mistake in his second pirouette, the world number 1 and his Rheinlander left no chance for their followers today in the freestyle; an exercise in which they excel, transporting the public and spectators into their very personal world.
The Dutch public had the chance to enjoy 10 brief minutes of pure poetry in motion this afternoon; enough to remind them in some ways of the 2010 World Cup Final, won by another black stallion by 89.800%. However, the comparison ends there. While some minor tensions sometimes appeared and even if the stallion made a mistake his one time tenpies, Justin Verboomen and Zonik Plus delivered another demonstration of balance, elasticity, and devotion to their rider. At the end of a test with near-perfect pirouettes and a breathtaking final line, their score of 89.205% secured them the victory.
Despite all the qualities, power and expression they are able to show, Charlotte Fry & Glamourdale once again finished second. The 15-year-old KWPN, very popular in the Netherlands, lost a bit of points because off its piaffe, sometimes a little swaying from side to side. They were scored at 89.085%.
Marieke van der Putten & Zantana were again 3rd at 82.175% and, we cannot say that at the beginning of the test it was written asthe Oldenburg stumbled very badly in her first extended trot.
