Premiere victory for GLOCK's Casper under Hans Peter Minderhoud!

At today’s award ceremony, winner Hans Peter Minderhoud (NED) was beaming with joy.

"This was GLOCK's Casper’s first big tournament and only the second test he ever did. He was fully focused on his task, I’m terribly proud of him!”, said a happy Hans Peter Minderhoud as beaming winner of today’s CDI3* Prix St. Georges test.

Matthias Bouten (GER) positioned himself in second place with a harmonious performance on the eight-year-old stallion Dante Delux MJ and a total of 71.395 %.
