A Dapple for a Dapple: Junior STV to Hans Peter
Minderhoud
February 25, 2003
It's
been only a week since Hans Peter Minderhoud decided
to go independent and left the training of the NRPS
licensed dapple grey stallion Rubels in the hands of
stallion station owners Gert Jan and Anne van Olst, or Van Olst traded
a dapple grey licensed stallion in exchange
Junior STV (by Uniform x Variant) will now be ridden,
trained and competed by Hans Peter Minderhoud, who justed
started his own business in Leur, The Netherlands. Junior
STV rose to stardam under Anky van Grunsven as a young
stallion. The pair won the Pavo Cup Dutch Young Horse
Championships two years in a row and then quickly moved
up to Grand Prix level. Unfortunately, Van Grunsven's
time schedule did not allow Junior STV to be thoroughly
trained and competed.
Only
half a year ago it was decided by did Van Grunsven and
the owners of Junior STV to put the stallion in training
with Anne van Olst, who had just lost her number one
Grand Prix mount. Van Olst never appeared on the international
scene with the KWPN stallion and has now given control
over the reins to her student Hans Peter Minderhoud.
Minderhoud is aiming at competing Junior STV at Grand
Prix level.
