Team GLOCK goes EC!

The Dutch Dressage Championships from July 17th till 19th, 2015 in Ermelo marked a successful weekend for the Dutch team in more than one respect. GLOCK rider Edward Gal, with GLOCK's Undercover N.O.P., succeeded in winning the 'Zware Tour' championships, whilst GLOCK rider Hans Peter Minderhoud and GLOCK's Johnson TN took silver. In the 'petite finale' of the championships, both GLOCK riders were also able to celebrate a double victory. Here Eddie and GLOCK’s Voice took over the lead, Hans Peter and GLOCK's Flirt coming second.

Not least due to this success, the Sunday marked the following decision: Team GLOCK goes to the FEI European Championships in Aachen! The Dutch Chef d'Equipe Wim Ernes used the championships for the last classification before the European Championships, nominating the following four riders for his team:

Edward Gal - GLOCK's Undercover N.O.P.
Hans Peter Minderhoud - GLOCK's Johnson TN
Diederik Silfhout - Arlando N.O.P.
Patrick van der Meer - Uzzo

In the World Equestrian Games in Caen (FRA) 2014, Edward, Hans Peter and Diederik were already part of the Dutch team, which ultimately won the bronze medal. Patrick van der Meer takes the place of Adelinde Cornelissen who, with Jerich Parzival, will for the first time in six years not take part in championships.
