Münster-Handorf: Imperial MT

"A stallion who showed himself very nicely, with evenly fine contact, distinctly quality basic gaits in the good to very good range and with very good rideability," Sebastian Heinze praised the performance of our Imperial MT at the short test on behalf of the judges.

In Münster Handorf, where the picture-perfect son of Asgard's Ibiza shone as Reserve Champion two years earlier, he now also convinced under the saddle of Laura Strobel. "In all gaits quite sure in step and balance, felt comfortable and let himself be worked." To the outside rider Philipp Hess, the stallion gave a very secure, nice riding feeling, he said. "It's easy to get into the horse's head. Because that's what it's all about: seeing the perspective." In the individual scores, the judges then awarded correspondingly high ratings. For the trot, which was very well sprung and shown in good looseness, an 8.4. For the canter, which was very well uphill and well sprung on both hands, a 9.0. For the walk, which walked loosely, an 8.5. And for rideability and willingness to perform, an 8.8 and 9.0, respectively.

With a total score of 8.7, Imperial MT was the winner of the four-year-old stallion class.
