Placing: 7th! RESULTS
Show: Imperial Winter Dressage
Horse: GES Pontus
Rider: Mercy Gray
Class: Novice Dressage
Starting number: 01
Music: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfBlVG…
Extras: Arrival - Pontus

Describe the style of your pair, how they move, how the horse is handled.

Mercy has trained Pontus' father and developed a strong bond with Pontus himself as well. They are inseparable, Pontus follows Mercy like a puppy (they often call him a Puppy because of his loyal, and a bit clingy, disposition). They move nicely, though Pontus is still inexperienced and get distracted quite easily but it shows that he is happy to do what he is asked to.
Name their strongest moves and weakest moves

Extended trot! Pontus like to be like a snake, extending and reachign out as far as he can. His movement is flawless, though there are still some problems with fluent transition between the moves.
What is significant to their gait or personality

His legs are muscular yet lean enough to beautifully present themselves in canter. The dog-like personality makes him extremely obidient and this is his strength. Even if he does not understand everything, he tries his best and it shows!
Are they up to their breed standard/ideal? Or do they look untypical

Pontus is much more muscular than his father, though his posture is a bit too lean for an ideal Obertaurer. However, his legs are strong and his head, neck and chest are the closest to ideal. Also, his mane is a bit curly but it is unknown to the Breeder if it should be treated as a defect (nobody in his closest bloodline share this trait) but it does not affect his hair structure in any way. It is strong, it just has some curls at the ends (used to be more curly when he was a foal).
