2002-2003
KNHS/KWPN Stallion Competition
Hattrick for Hans Peter Minderhout
He
almost seems to become the Dutch alternative for German
young horse master Dr Ulf Moller. Hans Peter Minderhout
is Holland's brightest Young Horse rider at the moment
who keeps on winning. In the third competition of the
2002-2003 KNHS/KWPN Stallion Competition held at Zuidbroek,
The Netherlands, Hans Peter Minderhout dominated all
three classes aboard his collection of stallions in
training.
At L-level (First/Second level), Minderhout reigned
supreme aboard Rhodium, a black Ferro x Ramiro offspring.
Scoring a 9.5 for his canter and conformation and
7.5 for his walk and trot, Rhodium totalled 83 points and
received the blue ribbon. Hilltop Farm's Rousseau (by
Ferro x Roemer) finished second while Coby van Baalen's
newest stable rider Anke Ter Beek ended third aboard
Radar (Cocktail x Le Mexico).
At
Third level, Minderhout received the trophy for his
ride on the AES licensed Painted Black, a gorgeous black
stallion by Trakehner Gribaldi out of a Ferro dam. The
2000 Licensing Champion Paddox (Ferro x Darwin) was
very tense but showed a wonderful trot and canter which
still made him score 74.5 points in total. Winner of
the two previous competitions, Polansky (Kostolany x
Donnerhall), had to settle for third position this team.
The undefeated winner at Fourth level was double World
Champion Rubels (Rafurstinsels x Amethist). The dapple
grey stallion scored 82% under Minderhout and put stable
mate Whisper (Weltmeyer x Feiner Stern) in second position.
Third placed was the about to be licensed Paganini (Havidoff
x Statuar).
