Anky van Grunsven Pulls Gestion Idool out of Dutch
WEG Selection Trials
 After
a disappointing ride and ranking with Gestion Idool
in the CDIO Grand Prix test at the international dressage
competition in Aachen, Anky van Grunsven is pulling
her liver chestnut KWPN gelding out of the Dutch World
Equestrian Games Selection Trials. Scoring only 65.48%,
Anky concluded that it was no longer useful for her
to try to qualify her Maykel offspring for the Dutch
WEG Team.
"I told chef d'equipe Fourage that I am pulling
Gestion Idool out of the WEG selection trials,"
Anky sai after her Grand Prix. "Idool didn't go
well at all. Both pirouettes went wrong and also the
extended trot. But overall I have concluded that the
judges do not like my horse in this field of competitors.
It no longer makes sense for me to use my time for qualifying
Idool for the WEG."
Anky, however, can still qualify for the Dutch team
with Krack C but this fresh Grand Prix mount might not
be ready for a WEG. "My time with Krack C still
needs to come. It may be this year or the next, we'll
see. If there is a better Dutch combination than me
than that's the one that should go to Jerez," Anky
commented.
