The stallion impressed the judges with his natural balance, quality, and rideability, with standout marks of 8.2 for canter and perspective, and a confident, relaxed walk scoring 8.0.

Scores included 7.6 for trot, 7.8 for walk, 8.0 for canter, 8.3 for submission, and 8.0 for perspective, underlining the horse’s harmony and willingness.

Their winning streak continued this past weekend at the CDIYH Terranova, where Santiago HGF and Crespin delivered yet another double victory. The pair achieved a personal best of 81.200% in the Preliminary test, followed by 79.200% in the Finalonce again under a different judging panel.
