HC Kronenberg: Real Dream impresses and claims victory in the M-level class

Twelve stallions lined up for the Anemone Horse Trucks Stallion Competition in the M-level class in Kronenberg.
Following his win in the Pavo Cup last summer, Real Dream once again demonstrated his quality yesterday in the Anemone Horse Trucks Dressage Stallion Competition. Ridden by Charlotte Fry, the son of Dynamic Dream won the M-level class at the Peelbergen Equestrian Centre, scoring 87.2 points.
Real Dream (by Dynamic Dream out of Fivanny—a *ster* PROK mare by Negro; breeders: Maatschap Pleyter and H.A. van Triest)—a grandson of the UTV champion Dolly—qualified for the World Championship final last summer and secured victory in the Pavo Cup.
Judges Bart Bax, Domien Michiels, and Gerdine Maree once again recognized the qualities in Real Dream that the stallion had previously displayed. Highlights included his canter and the harmony between horse and rider, for which he was awarded scores of 9. Regarding Real Dream, Michiels commented: “A horse with a very lovely contact. Real Dream presented a beautiful picture throughout the entire test. His trot is very light-footed and functional. The walk is correct and ground-covering. In the canter, the stallion shows great power and moves beautifully through his entire body, with a hind leg that steps well underneath his frame. He remains nicely balanced, with his withers carried high.” The stallion earned an 8.4 for the walk, 8.6 for the trot, 9.0 for the canter, 9.0 for harmony, and 8.7 for general impression.
Last season, two stallions from the ‘R’ crop clearly stood out from the rest. Stablemates Real Dream and Renzo (Kjento x Rousseau) were very evenly matched. In the end, it was Renzo—ridden by Charlotte Fry—who secured the overall victory in the L-level class. Yesterday, this combination scored 84.8 points, good for 5th place. Michiels remarked: “He showed a lovely self-carriage and moved beautifully within his frame.”
