Evaluation of Jerez 2002

The first evening was reserved for the evaluation of Jerez 2002, with 6 tests were presented on a big screen with the points per movement and per judge produced at the moment that a movement was exercised. Then, a trainers’ panel asked questions and made remarks, which were answered by the Jerez judges in an open manner. There were lively discussions between the trainers, chaired by David Hunt and the judges, chaired by Mariette Withages.

On Tuesday morning October 22 the World Breeding Federation presented a very interesting explanation on the breeding of top dressage horses. German veterinarian Dr. Ludwig Christmann made a presentation about the possible backgrounds of back and leg injuries of young horses. Very impressing were the demonstrations by the world’s best young horses, including several world champions. Hannover presented Wyoming and Dreseman, KWPN Rousseau and Broere Jazz, and Oldenburg the champions Don Davidoff and Rubels.
