Vivaldo (Polansky x Montecristo) did not win this time, as he used to do in Hengelo and Weert lately. The light-feeted bay horse, with his exemplary pace and his suppleness in his movements, scored 86 point and with 87 points the winners were Johnson and Santano.
These bays are very similar. They reached not only the same score of 87 points but also the judges Cor Loeffen, Johan Hamminga and Jan Enne Kloosterboer gave both horses the same marks. They are as the dressage horse of today has to be and move with power, expression and suppleness.
Citango (Contago x Jazz) came in fourth with 78,5 points and excels in his front leg technique and his posture. The next stallions followed: Valdez, Dramatic, Voice, Samba Hit II, Velazquez and Valeron.

In the M-class United (Krack C x Partout) won with a performance in which he showed balance in canter and gallop. With his suppleness he scored as well. In total he scored 83,5 points and United ended two points in front of his rival Uphill (Oscar x Apollonios xx). Uphill does honour to his name in canter, he canters nicely uphill with a lot of power. Uptown (Kennedy x Ubis) and Hans Peter Minderhoud reached third place. In Zuidbroek too, Uptown showed his expressive front leg technique. The next stallions followed: Ufo, Decor’s Sandro’s Match, Dutch Dormello DDH, Ungaro, Undigo and Upper-Class.

Mirelle van Kemenade won with her stallion Decor Dreamcatcher (Day Dream x Rubinstein) the Z dressage class. They stayed 6,5 points ahead of Trento B (Krack C x Ramiro) and Kim Leduc. Spokesman of judges Cor Loeffen mentioned his excellent walk and canter for which Dreamcatcher scored 9’s. Also a 9 for Trento B’s excellent canter. The next stallions followed: San Remo, Tango, Willawander xx and Arzberg.
