What a shame: GLOCK’s Romanov injured

Their debut went well, but after success came disappointment. “GLOCK’s Romanov must have stood on something, as his hoof started bleeding and so to be on the safe side there’s only one thing for it: get the vet to treat it and stop Romanov from starting here,” said a disappointed GLOCK rider Hans Peter Minderhoud in consultation with the owners Gaston and Kathrin Glock.
The Dutchman only recently started riding the Oldenburg stallion that was sired by Rohdiamant. Here at their debut you could see there was clearly still scope for fine tuning but above all their learning curve was steep.
