Top Talent
The four-year-old NMK mare Sweet Seven (Kjento out of the Light Tour mare Up Seven STV keur sport-dres by OO Seven), bred by H. Rootveld from Winterswijk Meddo, showed a fantastic performance under Bart Veeze. She received a 9.5 for trot, canter, suppleness, and posture & balance, in addition to a 9 for aptitude as a dressage horse, and as a result, she was immediately promoted to elite status. “This is truly a very striking horse and she was presented very well. She walks cleanly, spaciously, with composure and a good overstep. Her trot is exceptional, with appealing foreleg technique and very good hind leg use. She can already shift gears very well in this gait and achieve carrying capacity. Her canter is uphill and impressive, with great power and good carriage. Truly a mare from whom much can be expected for the upcoming Pavo Cup,” says Wim Versteeg.
