Jonathan Wentz (Richardson, TX) and Kai Handt's NTEC Richter scale scored 70.348% in the Grade 1b Individual Test. See his comments here; 

On his test today
Yesterday we got hit for being too conservative but today we went too much the other way and hit too hard on the accelerator and got way too wobbly in the trot-work the walk work finally scored the way we were hoping but the trot work hurt us. There’s way more to come.

On Richter’s attitude
You can take him to any venue in the world and ride him. There’s nothing that scares Richter.

On his Freestyle
Looking forward to the Freestyle the music tends to keep him in the right stride and where he needs to be and keeps him more rhythmic than we were today.

On the highlights of the test
The walk work, the turn on the haunches and halt. I moved up from a six yesterday to a 7 today which is what we needed it’s hard to start with a 65 and  move up to a seventy.
