THE DAY




They were 39 and Donoso was last one out, totally cruel to our nerves! But how exciting, loved every minute of it and sucked it in. I had studied previous best results of each one of them and comparing these to Donut's scores he was 14 in morfology and 11 in movements! These are the 39 best PRE stallions! A very glamourous row of horses.
In the trot he tucked in the hindlegs and pushed through a fab trot-lonrun without missing rhytm once, so beautiful and ahhh so exciting! Very few managed to do the longrun in one go, fantastic! There will be a video of that. The horses that qualified was the usual ones that has 'been there done that and got the SICAB t-shirt', I loved especially 2 of them, both of them definitely worthy to have the title 'Champion of Spain'. Judges favoured the big, heavy type, the typical horse for carriage driving, Donoso is the athletic type and he was definitely the most elegant one, what a pity I did not get to ride the test, he would have given them a hard time!
