Their debut in the international dressage arena simply could not have gone better for eight-year-old GLOCK’s Casper and Hans Peter Minderhoud (NED). It was at Dressage International at the GLOCK HORSE PERFORMANCE CENTER that the GLOCK Rider first presented this Dutch-bred, promising son of Westpoint before a large audience, only to delight all in every test.
On Friday the duo won the CDI3* Prix St. Georges, yesterday the Intermediaire I and again today, at the Intermediaire musical freestyle, they were in a class of their own. Technical A-scores of up to 73.750 % were awarded whilst, for artistic presentation, the panel of judges produced B-scores as high as 81.000 %.
The resulting 75.000 % spoke for itself. “I’m super happy with GLOCK’s Casper. He has mastered his first tournament simply perfectly and certainly has a great future in the dressage arena “, said Hans Peter of the nifty GLOCK youngster.
Anja Plönzke from Germany followed up her previous fourth and third places with her second GLOCK trophy today. With her nine-year-old Westphalian Revolverheld NRW, she achieved scores between 67.500 % (A-score) and 78.000 % (B-score), the overall 71.450 % taking second place. Fiderstern danced under his rider Christine Eglinski (GER) with 71.075 % to third place. Austria’s female trio, consisting of Caroline Kottas-Heldenberg (W), Patricia Kottas-Heldenberg (W) and Belinda Weinbauer (B), took seventh, eighth and ninth places respectively.
