Strike! Victory number four for GLOCK Rider Hans Peter Minderhoud!

Today participants in the CDI4* Dressage International at the GLOCK HORSE PERFORMANCE CENTER entered the most difficult international dressage test with defined test movement sequence - the CDI4* Grand Prix Special. Top concentration and harmony between rider and horse were essential for this 06:40-minute-long test. The top score for this test came once again from The Netherlands, being delivered by GLOCK's Johnson TN and GLOCK Rider Hans Peter Minderhoud.

"Because of the wind and associated noises, GLOCK's Johnson TN was initially a little nervous. He had a brief fright once, but I stayed on thank God and then things went smoothly again", said GLOCK Rider Hans Peter Minderhoud. The panel of judges gave scores of nine a full four times and the GLOCK Duo was unanimously rated first with an overall score of 76.765 %.

Lorraine van den Brink (NED) and her Orlandus achieved second place as on Thursday, albeit improving by around two percent to reach 70.314 %. Thamar Zweistra (NED) and Hexagon's Zodine also earned one of the sought-after GLOCK trophies with a score of 69.745 %. Alexandra Slanec (W) with Lord Of Dream, Nikolaus Erdmann (K) on Lamborghini 79 and Martin Hauptmann (St) on Frechdachs H took eighth, tenth and eleventh places respectively.
