Del Piero: 'ein nervenstärk Spitzenpferd'
 The
handsome Del Piero and German rider Susan Draper formed
a "picture of perfect harmony" as judges Bachinger,
Moritz and Verbeek described the combination. Reserve
Champion of the 6 year old division at the 1999 World
Championships for Young Dressage Horses, Del Piero left
a clear impression of how a young dressage star should
move and be trained.
In 1998 the black Hanoverian stallion by Donnerhall
x Matcho AA won the 5 year old stallion class at the
German Bundeschampionate in Warendorf. German equestrian
magazine St. Georg celebrated Del Piero as a cool and
focused top dressage horse that is resistant against
the pressure of competition; they called him "ein nervenstärk
Spitzenpferd".
In Arnhem Del Piero excelled in his well balanced canter
and fluid flying changes, which seemed to be a problem
for most 6 year olds. Owners Ingo Pape and the American
Hilltop Farm, Inc have a great potential in hands with
this black star.
