World Cup Final ticket for Hans Peter

With an outstanding fourth place and score of 81.635% in the FEI World Cup™ Dressage Freestyle at the Indoor Brabant in s’Hertogenbosch (14-17/03/2019), GLOCK Rider Hans Peter Minderhoud did a magnificent job of securing his World Cup Final ticket. In the saddle on eleven-year-old KWPN stallion GLOCK’s Dream Boy (Vivaldi x Ferro), Hans Peter performed a freestyle with many highlights, for which three of the five judges awarded 9.7 for the degree of difficulty. In the World Cup Grand Prix on Thursday (14/03), the dream duo went on to take fifth place (75.022%). With 63 points, this puts Hans Peter in an excellent sixth place in the World Cup Final ranking, qualifying him for the 2019 World Cup Final from 03-07 April in Gothenburg (SWE).

Also in the GLOCK Team at s’Hertogenbosch were Zanardi and GLOCK’s Voice N.O.P.. The progeny of Rubels and Avignon, Zanardi was impressive under Hans Peter at 3-star level with 5th place (71.761%) in the Grand Prix and 3rd place with 79.950% in the CDI3* freestyle.

GLOCK Rider Edward Gal also took part in the CDI3* dressage competitions, presenting GLOCK’s Voice, son of De Niro, and celebrated third place (73.478%) in the Grand Prix and fifth place (79.605%).

A double clear round and fifth place in the CSI5* competition over 1.45 m by GLOCK Rider Gerco Schröder and GLOCK’s Debalia rounded off the weekend’s record of success.
