Anne van Olst and Any How

The Hanoverian colt Any How was first discovered on the breed show in Rotenburg, Germany, in 1986. Immediately selected for the Verden Elite Foal auction, the bay Ataturk descendant soon moved to Denmark via the Verden sale centre.

Bred by Alfred Kunzler out of an Akrobat x Celadon xx dam, this colt, formerly named "Asti", was purchased by Vagn Bennetsen from Denmark for the amount of 7,000 Deutsch Mark. Asti reappeared on the scene under the show name Any How. The Danish Anne van Olst-Koch bet on her reserve horse as first mount Dempsey (by Dan Senator) got injured at the beginning of the 1999 show season. Any How became an important contributor to the Danish Team Bronze medal at the European Championships
in Arnheim, The Netherlands, in July.
