Eclipse & Carl having fun during a display at Roskilde show, 2000. The stile was simple but efficient: Full speed forward!

Another photo from the same display in 2000: Our role was to be ”the naughty boy in class” or maybe the ”clown”, and this came really natural to us. As you see the riding style was really un-orthodox, but it did work and both of us had a lot of fun!!!

PS: You can see Julie & Heiress at the far right!
