With a ten-point lead, Nalegro, a son of Painted Black, entered the final of the Anemone Horse Trucks Stallion Competition Dressage class M with the best cards. With multiple 9's and a total score of 89.6, the stallion, under Charlotte Fry, lived up to all expectations today, showcasing abundant strength.

In the final of the Anemone Horse Trucks Stallion Competition class M, the four best stallions from the intermediate standings returned for a test, while the remaining stallions were presented in a showcase. Nalegro (Painted Black out of Jalegrofleur ster pref PROK by Negro, bred by Joop Hanse from Burgh-Haamstede and Van Olst Horses from Den Hout) received an 8.8 for his walk and solely 9's otherwise. "This horse has tremendous potential," exclaimed Marian Dorresteijn enthusiastically, who, along with Jacques van Daele, judged this competition. "He has a lot of power from the hindquarters. When he transitions, you can already see how easily he comes back onto the hindquarters. He was presented beautifully; give him time, and hopefully, we'll see him in the top sport later on."

Finalists
Network, a son of Just Wimphof (Just Wimphof out of Keyvenix Texel stb-ext pref D-OC by Negro, bred by Daan Staller and Danique Broekema from Westbeemster), placed second in both this final and the overall ranking under Femke de Laat. This stallion demonstrated a very harmonious test with noticeable positive transitions. Charlotte Fry had two contenders, and with Nacho (Negro out of Benetton ster pref D-OC by Krack C, bred by Sandra Maakenschijn from Chaam), she completed the top three. He gave a relaxed impression in the impressive Brabanthallen and performed a consistent test with a lot of lightness and harmony. Danielle Heijkoop dealt with some tension from Nordic Blue Hors, a son of Totilas (out of Demeter B ster sport-dres PROK by Jazz, bred by Stal de Beukenvallei from Leende and Sjef Janssen from Erp), who, despite the tension, showed a lot of potential for the future.
