uphill tendency. Fourth place was earned by the best dressage type of this class: Newton (Vitalis) is really well-proportioned and has an uphill build, well-muscled body and a lot of ex- pression. His canter is long-strided with good balance and car- rying ability, and his trot shows good technique with sufficient suppleness.
Te long-lined two-year-old gelding Louisville SS (UB- 40) has a well-shaped vertical neck and a good dressage type with lean legs. His movement is light-footed, has good reach in his front leg and shows sufficient power.

■ September 3, 2018, Sherwood, Oregon Tis keuring in Oregon was held at the great Sonnenberg Farm facility. Hosts Dan and Gina Ruediger had a lot of interested spectators coming to this keuring, who could all watch the quality presented in the dressage classes. Faith Fes- senden also presented information about the linear scoring and pedigrees. Te high score ribbon was awarded to the three-year-old
dressage mare called Kiriska (Jazz). Tis modern and elegant dressage mare has an expressive, long and well-shaped neck and an athletic body. Kiriska shows great body use in move- ment: her walk is active with good reach and very supple. Same for her trot, as she impressed us with her body use and her suppleness, as well as her very good leg technique and articulation. Her trot is always uphill and carrying with a very good use of her neck. Her canter is powerful and active with good length of stride. A total score of 80 for her conformation and 90 for her movement tells it all. Te four-year-old Juliette D’Rosa (Ampere) is a power- ful and well-muscled mare. She also is a good dressage type
with well-developed withers, long sloping shoulder and a good topline. In movement she is powerful with good suspension, has a lot of articulation and technique and has an expressive use of her front leg. Her canter is carrying and powerful with good length of stride. With 80 for conformation and 85 for movement Juliette D’Rosa also got a very good score and re- ceived her keur eligible predicate. Two older dressage mares, who already did their IBOP,
were presented for keur and both were upgraded. Te great five-year-old Izabella (Sezuan) already scored 84.5 in her IBOP with a 9.5 for her fantastic canter. Tis long-lined, well- developed mare was easily promoted to keur and since she also got her D-OC she became elite. Also Gold Pleasure (Wynton) was awarded elite today. Tis elegant mare has a good rectangular type and a well-shaped long neck. She also passed her IBOP and in-hand she showed an expressive use of her front leg. In the DG Bar Cup for six-year-old horses, the keur mare
Hannah Anda (UB40) was presented. Tis well-trained mare is confirmed in her riding. She has a clear active walk, she uses her hind leg well in trot and especially her canter was well-balanced and showed good rhythm. In the collection she is active and engaged in her hind leg. With an overall score of 81 this mare was ranked first nationally (to date) in the DG Bar Cup.
Te class of dressage foals also showed quality. Te winner was the filly Nadia D’Rosa (Franklin). Tis filly shows suf- ficient development and a good dressage type, but in move- ment she becomes quite special. Her canter is great, with lots of power, balance, suppleness and technique. Her trot has a lot of suspension and a very expressive use of her front leg. With an 85 score for her movement, this filly was awarded the high score for young dressage horse and is now third in the country so far. Runner up was the colt Nautilos (Governor). Tis colt has a very good dressage type. He is long-lined with an uphill body direction and a well-shaped long neck. His light-footed movement shows an active use of his hind leg and sufficient reach in his front leg with good posture. In third place was the colt Nebraska (Ibiza). Tis well-built colt is somewhat sickle-hocked in his hind leg but his trot has good posture and reach and his canter is well-balanced, powerful and adjustable. Te well-developed filly Nadanta (Fidertanz) is well-muscled and correctly built. Her trot is expressive with good technique, and the canter has good length of stride with sufficient power.
