Thursday, 25 April 2013 Magna Racino (AUT) / Uden (NED)

Many points, placings and successes

Dynamic and powerful is how the GLOCK jumpers looked in the hands of GLOCK riders Gerfried and Robert Puck last weekend at the start of the Magna Racino Spring Tour in Ebreichsdorf (17—21 April 2013), while dynamic and elegant was the impression given by the new GLOCK dream team in the dressage arena, GLOCK rider Hans Peter Minderhoud and GLOCK’s Romanov, at their debut in the Dutch town of Uden.

The CSI3* CSI2* CSIYH1* Magna Racino Spring Tour in Ebreichsdorf (Lower Austria) spells three weeks of international show jumping from 17 April to 5 May 2013. Its first week started with a CSI2* CSIYH1* from 17 to 21 April. Here GLOCK rider Gerfried Puck and GLOCK’s Celebration did well in the 1.20 m class for six-year-old horses with a fine clear round to take eleventh place. In the world ranking class for the Pierre Petit Grand Prix on Sunday the Styrian on GLOCK’s Wibo was then the best Austrian, finishing 14th.

GLOCK rider Robert Puck kicked off the weekend with GLOCK’s Alato SR, an easy clear and seventh place in the 1.30 m class, making it a successful start to the Silver Tour. In the Gold Tour 1.40 m on Friday he competed on GLOCK’s Alato SR and GLOCK’s Ambelina JB, going fault free with both horses. His efforts were rewarded with second spot in division one for the fast round on GLOCK’s Alato SR and fourth in the second division for another quick time on GLOCK’s Ambelina JB. He finished with another flawless ride on GLOCK’s Alato and sixth position in the 1.35 m jump-off for the Silver Tour final on Sunday. 

GLOCK rider Hans Peter Minderhoud and GLOCK’s Romanov are not only the new GLOCK dream team in the dressage arena, but also achieved the required result for the Dutch A team at their very first attempt. Having entered a Grand Prix for the first time in Uden (NED), the two scored 72.23% which was also good enough for their first win.
