GlockHPC_100Today eleven duos from six countries started in the CDI4* Grand Prix de Dressage in order to qualify for the Grand Prix Special on Saturday (30/05).

GLOCK Rider Hans Peter Minderhoud (NED) and his world champion horse GLOCK’s Johnson TN presented themselves in a league of their own. In magnificent style, Hans Peter led the beautiful stallion offspring of Jazz x Flemmingh through the test. All the judges agreed: this was the best performance! The final score was 76.140 %, with the canter movements such as flying changes and extended canter movements especially being given the highest scores.

When asked what the expectations for tomorrow were, the GLOCK rider answered totally relaxed: „With GLOCK’s Casper I will be starting with a young horse. It is his first time at a large tournament, so you never know how things will turn out. I’m curious to see whether he will show the same focus as ‚Johnny‘ today.“
