New personal bests for Hans Peter and GLOCK’s Flirt!

What a brilliant weekend for GLOCK Rider Hans Peter Minderhoud and GLOCK's Flirt! The GLOCK Duo is turning into a real dreamteam who got along very well with each other right from the beginning of their career and has constantly improved ever since. During the Reem Acra FEI World Cup™ stage in Stockholm (SWE) they stepped up another notch and therefore "Hansi" and "Flirty" did not only celebrate a victory and a second place - they did it with new personal bests!

On Saturday the GLOCK Rider and the chestnut offspring of Florestan x Gauguin de Lully GLOCK's Flirt showed a brilliant performance infront of an excited crowd and the international judges rewarded them with high marks especially for the half-pass, the extensions and the smoothly ridden transitions. 73,940 % - not only was that the clear victory but also a new personal best on Grand-Prix-Level for "Flirty"!

Well rested and motivated the GLOCK Duo went into Sunday's Reem Acra FEI World Cup™ freestyle competition and showed once again how wonderful dressage sports can be. The harmonious ride was rewarded with up to 77,500 % for the technical performance and up to 84,000 % for the artistic performance. With a total score of 79,250 % Hans Peter and GLOCK's Flirt could not only be happy about the second place but also their second new highscore!

After those outstanding performances GLOCK Rider Hans Peter is now currently second in the overall standings of the Reem Acra FEI World Cup™ Dressage.
