Apache back in the competition rhythm
Emmelie Scholtens started the KWPN stallion Apache (by UB40) last Saturday in Hulten in the Prix St. Georges. This first match after the Dutch Championships gave the combination a score of more than 70%, which meant the victory.
Scholtens: “I am very satisfied with the test and actually expected that the score would be higher,” said Scholtens. “I chose this race to get Apache back into some competition routine. The points don't really matter to me, but if you've driven well you expect more."
She continues about the test: “The trot part was really good. The stretching really couldn't be better in my opinion, from the beginning to the end, yet he only got a 7.5 for it. In the walk he was a little distracted, but that did not lead to major problems. He was also very good at the canter, except for one pirouette, which I started a little too small.”
