Arjen
Teeuwissen, last year's shooting star, is not yet in
shape for the Olympics. Although he and his Zebulon
gelding Gestion Goliath T are a perfect match in the
freestyle (80,67%), lately the pair has more difficulties
n the Grand Prix and Special. With 'only' a 71,08% in
the first test and a better 75,72% in the second, Teeuwissen
easily made the cut for a third place, but has to improve
for the Olympics.
Finally back in shape are Ellen Bontje and her Holsteiner
stallion Gestion Silvano N (by Silvester). The pair
suffered a great set back and was for a long time unable
to score higher than 65%, but at the CDI Ebreischdorf
in Austria the combination was again on its way for
improvement. Yet, the competition wasn't tough in Austria,
but in Nijmegen they finally broke through. With scores
of 72,04%, 70,88% and 75,49% Bontje not only secured
a fourth spot in the championships but is finally certain
of her spot in the Dutch Olympic Team. In the Special,
however, Silvano behaved a little obnoxious in his test
making it Bontje hard to score high.
