Anne
van Olst's Future with Junior STV
 The
recent departure of KWPN licensed stallion Junior STV
from Anky van Grunsven's barn to Anne van Olst's training
facility was the subject of many articles in European
equestrian publications. It is mainly because Anky van
Grunsven "lost" two Grand Prix horses within
the same time period (Kir Royal also found a new home
in Germany) that reports were dedicated to this news.
However,
Danish dressage rider Anne van Olst reported Eurodressage
that Junior's owner, Stoeterij het Vierspan, did not
"take away" the stallion from Anky and give
him a new rider, but that it was Anky herself who offered
Van Olst to train and show the flamboyant dapple grey
Uniform get. Anne van Olst also added that it was only
Any How who unfortunately died last year, and not Dempsey
as Eurodressage reported. Her Danish bred Dempsey (by
Dan Senator x Guter Gast xx) is still very much alive.
Anne van
Olst was born in Alborg in 1963, Denmark, and was a
dedicated show jumping rider at the beginning of her
equestrian career. In 1987, however, she made her Grand
Prix debut aboard Le Fiere with whom she rode the 1988
Olympic Games in Seoul, Korea. With Chevalier she became
the Danish Dressage Champion in 1993. Since then, Anne
has been multiple team member of the Danish Dressage
Equipe. Her horse collection included mounts like Chronos,
Chronos II, Potomac, Dempsey, Any How, Rafurstinsels
and Negro. In 1991, Anne moved to Holland where she
married Gert Jan van Olst and established a training
facility in Den Hout, The Netherlands.
