Aktion Retires From
Sport at Indoor Brabant
's
Hertogenbosch, NED - Living legend "Aktion" will resign
from his function as international show horse at Indoor
Brabant. Hungarian Guyla Dallos will bring his KWPN
approved stallion to 's Hertogenbosch where the white
prince of the freestyle will say good bye to his competition
career.
Born in 1982, Aktion was bred by Berend Ridder from
Harkstede. At age two and a half he got licensed for
the KWPN studbook and from his first three breeding
years more than 50 of his get showed up to Fourth Level.
Aktion's most famous descendant is without a doubt Berkenhorst
Galliano, also competing at Indoor Brabant under the
Dutch Barbara Koot.
Aktion will come to Den Bosch, not to compete but to
say good bye to the crowds. Sired by Pion, the white
prince of the freestyle has had enough after six world
cup finals, six world championships and five European
championships. For ten years Aktion competed at Grand
Prix level and gained fifty victories. The apex of his
career was most likely the bronze medal at the 1993
European Dressage Championships in Lipica, Slovenia.
