The horse stars at Dressage International

Saddled and put in trot!
 
They are loved, admired and treated as gemstones. Internationally successful dressage horses are just famous as their riders and worldwide, their fans observe them. They have their own groom, the best food, an exactly planned training program and perfect conditions at their home stable. They know their riders well and usually they are their most important sports partners for many years:
 
The horse stars at CDI4 *
From the finest Italian blood lines the 13 –year old FIXDESIGN Eremo Del Castegno originates. The expressive bay gelding and his rider Valentina Truppa (ITA) play an important role in the international dressage sport for a few years and they could already taste Olympic atmosphere. They already succeeded to finish on the podium at the World Cup finals: in 2012 they won bronze in ’ s-Hertogenbosch (The Netherlands). As number five of the world’s best horses the son of the famous sire Rohdiamant is currently listed and together with his rider he is ranked on the eleventh place in the FEI World Ranking.
 
Pura Raza Español ( PRE) is the breeding area of the impressive stallion Grandioso . And just as fiery as the name of his place of origin is his temperament. The compact 15 –year old horse star thrilled his fans at the Olympic Games in London in 2012 and with his performances under his rider Jose Daniel Martin Dockx ( ESP) he already scored at the GHPC last year. Especially his beautifully jumped flying changes, the rhythmic piaffe and his ambitious extensions live up to his name.
 
GLOCK’s Undercover, GLOCK’s Johnson TN and GLOCK’s Romanov who travel with the two Dutch superstars Edward Gal and Hans Peter Minderhoud can look forward to special cheers and applause. The crowd favorite among them is without doubt " Fritsie " or "The black tigerrrr " as GLOCK 's Undercover is lovingly called by his fans. The black tiger and his rider Edward Gal won next to the Olympic bronze medal in London a team silver medal at the European Championships in Herning. Two weeks ago, they finished the Dressage World Cup Final on an excellent third place and in the international dressage ranking they are number three in the world!
 
Personality, expression and elegance, these are just some of the many wonderful qualities GLOCK 's Romanov combines. The impressive Oldenburg stallion danced under Hans Peter Minderhoud to the victory in the freestyle of Hagen (GER) two weeks ago, the team silver medal of the European Championships 2013 and is number 19 of the FEI world rankings.
 
A real eye-catcher is Glock 's Johnson TN . The twelve- year old KWPN stallion shows his class with a lot of brilliance in the dressage arena and expressive basic gaits. Since April, the son of Jazz is member of Team GLOCK and is presented by GLOCK Rider Hans Peter Minderhoud at international shows. The first results were not long in coming: place eight at the FEI World Cup Final in Lyon, number 21 in the dressage world ranking and the entry in the Dutch Olympic team are only the first stages of a successful partnership.
