Last
year's Dutch Championships winner Arjen Teeuwissen had
to fight off the improved couple Coby van Baalen/Olympic
Ferro and he didn't succeed. Van Baalen will be a strong
contender for an Olympic medal and that's what she showed
in Nijmegen.
The first glimpses of Ferro's current condition were
giving at the World Cup Finals where the KWPN stallion
by Ulft was really excelling for the first time. In
Nijmegen Van Baalen was not far off from Anky in the
scores but her freestyle is not as superior as Anky's
"Something Old, Something New". Van Baalen riding on
a Zorba based composition scored 80,67%, which is 6%
behind Van Grunsven. In the Grand Prix and the special,
the pair got 76,20% and 74,56%.
Ferro recently got his first descendant approved for
the United States. Owner McCarthy from California will
be having "Pyriet" up for stud soon.
