GLOCK stars in the Netherlands and France

Last weekend GLOCK dressage stars Edward Gal and Hans Peter Minderhoud achieved high scores at the CDI3* Roosendaal (NED) and at the same time GLOCK rider Gerfried Puck placed in the jump at the CSI3* CSI1* CSIYH1* La Boissière-École (FRA).

It was the perfect debut: competing in the Grand Prix Tour for the first time at the CDI3* Roosendaal, GLOCK rider Edward Gal and 11-year-old KWPN stallion Voice took home two wins. They scored 72.766% in the Grand Prix on Saturday and no less than 79.900% in the Freestyle on Sunday. The other GLOCK rider in Roosendaal, Hans Peter Minderhoud, was also highly successful. Trusting in his Grand Prix horse GLOCK’s Tango, he was rewarded with fourth place in the Grand Prix (69.745%) although the judges were divided over the score and runner-up position in the Freestyle (76.500%).

In France, GLOCK rider Gerfried Puck successfully presented the GLOCK youngsters. GLOCK’s Chamonix B had clear rounds in the class for seven-year-old horses both on Friday (24 May) and in Saturday’s final (25 May) to place tenth and ninth respectively. Six-year-old GLOCK’s Celebration B finished the Youngster Tour for his age group in seventh on Friday and in third place in the final on Saturday.
