Hans Peter Minderhoud remains unbeatable in CDI3*!

It is indeed impressive, the outstanding form demonstrated by GLOCK rider Hans Peter Minderhoud’s horses at the Dressage International. Following five starts, the 'Oranje' finished up with four wins and one second place, making him the most successful rider in the tournament so far. Today he led the just ten-year-old grey stallionZanardi to the start at the GLOCK HORSE PERFORMANCE CENTER. As was the case yesterday, this pairing from the Netherlands was awarded first place by all of the judges unanimously with a final score of 72.553 %. So the tension mounts as to whether tomorrow the GLOCK rider will bring this son of Rubel  to the start at the CDI3* Intermediaire I Freestyle.     

The performance of second-placed Beatriz Ferrer-Salat (ESP) is certainly on a strong upward curve. With her also just ten-year-old Hanoverian stallion Du Pre, she only achieved eighth place yesterday, but today her score of 69.368 % put her in well-deserved second place.       

Austria also got a place on the podium with the ‘Tyrolean Amazon’ Teresa Rochelt in the CDI3* Intermediaire I Test. For her ride on Dolana, the jury awarded marks between 66.447 % und 71.315 %, yielding an overall 69.289 % and third place in the ranking, thus also the second top placing in the CDI3* Dressage International.        

Juliane Vogt (AUT/OÖ), with Flipper, son of Florestan I NRW, achieved an overall score of 67.421 % (8th place). The great red-white-red performance was rounded off by Sonja Grossauer (AUT/B) and Davignio in twelfth place (66.737 %).
