No WEL stage this week, but some memorable videos from previous (Mechelen) stage were uploaded.

 

Maria Caetano & Coroado. Maria became the first Portuguese rider ever to break 80%, while Coroado became the first Lusitano-bred horse to do it. Both truly historic achievements for Portugal and Iberian horses.

 

Spoiler

 

Judy Reynolds & Vancouver debuted their new freestyle with the most Irish music ever. It should have been presented at WEG, but obviously that competition got cancelled due to the hurricane.

Wow, that's impressive. You even used that lullaby-alike song that's played during the walk?

 

I thought 2017 was supposed to be the peak year for Judy and JP (with Europeans that sadly didn't happen due to injury). I'm glad to be proven wrong though. They really looked more polished than ever in Amsterdam this week and Mechelen last month.

Sure did, "Siúil a Rúin"... you might remember the video a bit. Just a different version of the song than what Judy used, but same song

 

 

Yes, I also thought they had probably reached their peak but great to see them breaking new barriers for Irish dressage!
