With
great ease did Anky van Grunsven ride to victory in
the first leg of the World Cup Dressage Final. Hosted
at the Brabanthallen in 's Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands,
the World Cup Dressage
Final was poised to be a grand show. Coincinding with
a three star international show, the Final draws the
crowds to the stands which enables them to experience
this world class competition in real life, as the seats
are only set two meters away
from the ring. In front of a full house Anky rode to
a 76.43% score and took the lead. The 31 year old Dutch
rider is the favourite for the title, which she already
captured four times
(Los Angeles 1995, Gothenburg 1996, Den Bosch 1997 and
Dortmund 1999).
Father
van Grunsven watched his daughter's test from the stand
concentrating on every little detail. Of course he could
not be but proud when he saw the high marks of Anky's
Short Grand Prix test on the score board. Director of
a construction company in Gemert, Holland, Mr Van Grunsven
has been a great stimulus in Anky's professional career.
He bought her first horse and created the possibility
to establish a successful professional equestrain career.
