Edward Gal rode the stars from the sky in the Anemone Horse
Trucks award at Jumping Amsterdam. Gal rode GLOCK’s Total US (f. Totilas) in the
Intermediaire I Freestyle with music to a fantastic score of 80.458%. Kirsten
Brouwer came second with 10-year-old Foundation RR (f. United) and her class
was rated 77.375%. Madeleine Witte-Vrees completed the podium with the
10-year-old Finnländerin (f. Fidertanz). The class of Witte-Vrees produced
76.667%.

Stopover

Gal: “This is a stopover to see how far he is in his
training. I’m also looking at how he reacts in these kind of
circumstances.”

Fantastic test

“He made super pirouettes and beautiful appuyements.
Normally he also makes good substitutions, but today he held a bit back.
Actually he can do anything and that’s just great. On top of that he also looks
beautiful,” says Gal.

Lovely horse

“Total US is a lovely horse, but very sensitive. I
noticed that on Thursday, because he reacted to everything from the
environment. The horse needs time to get used to it.”
