Victory number two for Hans Peter Minderhoud!

He definitely inherited the talent from his father. The 10-year-old grey stallion Zanardi has the blood of Rubels running through his veins, who has been a double world champion of young horses himself. Ridden by no other than GLOCK Rider Hans Peter Minderhoud, who made Rubels double world champion, Zanardi showed his potential during today's CDI3* Prix St. Georges test. Minderhoud presented the KWPN-stallion in a perfect manner and was once again voted number one by all of the five international judges with a total of 74,368 %. "He is doing a very good job, this is only his fifth show and I am very happy!", said a happy Hans Peter after his second victory at the Dressage International 2014 at GLOCK HORSE PERFORMANCE CENTER.   

The decision between the second and third place was as close as it can be: Fie Christine Skarsoe (DEN) and her 10-year-old Oldenburg gelding For My Life (Fürst Heinrich x Don Schufro) managed to leave Austria's Teresa Rochelt and Dolana behind with a score of 69,605 %. The Tyrolian and her 10-year-old daughter of Dolany showed a focused performance and reveived a fantastic score of 69,263 % and the third place in the CDI3* Grand Prix St. Georges class.   

Two other Austrian Ladys managed to make it into the placement as well. Sonja Grossauer (B) and her 11-year-old Oldenburg stallion Davignio had a final score of 69,132 % (5th place), Jacqueline Toniutti (St) showed a convincing test with her only nine-year-old mare Sandrose, 68,184 % (9th place).
