Rubels
 Dutch
dressage rider Hans Peter Minderhout has decided to
start his own business and is leaving the stallion station
of Gert Jan and Anne van Olst. This means that he will
also lose the ride of Rubels (by Rafurstinsels), the
horse that made him famous in Holland and the world
by winning the World Young Horse Championships two years
in a row.
Hans Peter Minderhout has moved to an equestrian centre
in Leur, where show jumping rider Robert Puck is also
located. He will devote his time to training and competiting
dressage horses. He currently has the Prix St Georges
horse Washington, with whom he rode the World Young
Horse Championships in 2000, the Hanoverian licensed
young stallion Whisper and the KWPN licensed stallion
Kennedy (by Ferro).
 Minderhout
is curently Kennedy's fourth rider. The first licensed
son by Olympic Ferro rose to stardom under Birgit van
der Eyken as top winning young horse, he then got into
training with Leida Strijk, but as she moved to England,
Kennedy moved to Edward Gal's. Kennedy's owner Jan Bardoel
ended his contract with Gal and moved his stallion to
Minderhout who will compete the black at Prix St Georges
level this year.
