Description

Show: Imperial Winter Dressage
Horse: GES Stardust Song
Rider: Shiloh Genovia
Class: U25 GRAND PRIX
Starting number: 01

Extras: A Helping Hand | Arrival -Stardust
Describe the style of your pair, how they move, how the horse is handled.
Shiloh and Stardust are really in synch and it shows. They know each other inside out, the mare happily obeys her rider. There is nothing forced in their co-operation.
Name their strongest moves and weakest moves
Stardust's strongest move is pirouette. However, she still needs to train her extended trot as her movement is more collected.
What is significant to their gait or personality
Stardust's happy-go-lucky personality and Shiloh's energy really shows when they perform together, making it very dynamical and unforgettable. The collected moves show perfectly Stardust's gait.
Are they up to their breed standard/ideal? Or do they look untypical
Stardust is a bit less thick than an ideal Obertaurer but we assume it is because of the mustang genes that she inherited from her mother. However, her neck and head are really propotional, her profile straight and majestic.

First of all, congrats on your placing! The field of entrants was very well impressive, but you took it like a champ!
Shiloh and Stardust are such an iconico duo of yours - it's so good to see them again! The background must have been a pain, but dare I say the end result was outstanding - I love all the reflections of the water on the sand, and the soft light of the whole piece! The whole composition is asthetically very pleasing as well: the pair takes center stage (hurr hurr) as they should, but the angle you picked allows for lots of nice details - the screen, the crowd, the stands... Amazing job
(Also, A+ for the music choice - I've been listening to it for a while now and it's actually very nice! Besides, why miss the chance for a good pun?)
