HC Groningen: Renzo leads with 93 points

The battle in the L class for the Anemone Horse Trucks Stallion Competition Dressage is still ongoing. While Kjento-son Renzo finished second in previous competitions, today he overtook the lead from stablemate Real Dream. Ridden by Charlotte Fry, Renzo achieved the highest scores of the day.
Renzo (Kjento out of Aronia elite pref prest IBOP-dres PROK by Rousseau, breeder: C.M.E. Reijrink of Diessen) received no scores below 9.1, with a 9.5 for submission as the highlight. “A very beautiful, relaxed performance in the test,” enthused Floor Dröge. This stallion was well-focused and demonstrated this in a relaxed manner with excellent body use. We saw this again after the transition to the walk, where he was immediately relaxed and composed. He has plenty of scope and rhythm in the walk and is notable for his ease of body. In the trot, we saw a beautiful, light-footed appearance. His forelegs and hindlegs correspond well. This stallion canters with great ease, and he also demonstrated his ability to shift down and transfer weight to the hindquarters. Here too, he is light-footed and elegant with excellent leg technique. It was a beautiful test from a stallion who demonstrated today not only his movement qualities but also the right attitude and focus.

Good canter
Charlotte Fry finished second with Real Dream (Dynamic Dream out of Fivanny ster PROK by Negro, breeder: Maatschap Pleyter from Zalk and H.A. van Triest from Elburg), who won the previous competitions. The stallion, who had just gotten fresh in the canter, received 89.8 points. “The walk is superbly in rhythm; this walk is a textbook example of a V-shape. He also stays beautifully through the body. The trot is light-footed and elegant, with the foreleg and hindleg beautifully coordinated. The canter has plenty of impulsion and a lovely upward movement in the extension. What’s striking is how he’s already coming back; he’s really showing his ability to shorten his jump again. It was a very charming performance. His playful jump is fine for a young horse, but we have to factor that into the scores.”
