And just like in the qualification - with sensational highlights, such as the incredibly placed left spirouette, the textbook overstrike and the ideal changes. Unbelievable how much potential Escamillo has and what a fantastic work attitude he has.
But unfortunately a few technical mistakes crept in. He wasn't really into it, because he had spontaneously fallen in love with a mare on the warm-up ring. And a power stallion like Escamillo can get a bit carried away with his hormones.
But that's not so bad! I think everyone saw that this stallion, owned by Kimberley Davis-Slous, really has EVERYTHING (!!) for our sport - and now, after he had already won silver in the six-year-old class, he was once again on the World Cup podium.
I was especially pleased about the praise from the head judge Peter Storr for Manuell's soulful and smooth riding! Manuell had already shown Galleria's Summervolle in the five-year-old final. Christian and I had a lot of fun training the three of them.
