World Championships for Young Dressage Horses
Dutch Short List for 2003 World Championships for
Young Dressage Horses
 With
the World Championships for young dressage horses approaching
fast, the Dutch Equestrian Federation and KWPN society
are gearing up to form a team that will represent the
Dutch warmblood breed in Verden, Germany.
Bert Rutten, Grand Prix dressage rider and member of
the selection committee, commented on the five-year
olds that were shown at the selection trials and
have qualified for the short list.
- Hilltop Rousseau (Ferro x Roemer) - Nicolette
van Lierop
Pavo cup winner, "he's a medal hopeful in Verden.
The stallion has a very nice conformation and three
good basic gaits. He has a lot of radiance, even
though he could be presented more spectacularly."
- Riant (Jazz x Julio Mariner xx) - Anke ter Beek
- Rohdium (Ferro x Ramiro) - Hans Peter Minderhoud
- Magic Rodrigo (Indorado x Stuyvesant xx ) - Edward
Gal
Licensed AES stallion. "He has been developing
in a positive way lately."
- XXL (Krack C x Balzflug) - Edward Gal
"Horse with a spectacular front leg usage"
- Provisional reserve combination: Rambo (Gribaldi
x Amor) - Hans Peter Minderhoud
"The stallion is quickly distracted and can
become disobedient."
The final team of 6-year old horses will be
determined after a training session on July 18, 2003.
Currently short listed are:
- Pays Bas (Cabochon x Zeoliet) - Christa Laarakkers
(pictured)
- Pedro (Krack C x Damiro) - Christa Laarakkers
- Reduson Patser (Jazz x Ariban) - Madeleine Vrees
Pavo cup Winner. "Horse with spectacular movements
but he should be more easy to ride"
- Painted Black (Gribaldi x Ferro) - Hans Peter
Minderhoud
"The stallion has a beautiful conformation
and moves very light-feetedly
- Pasternak (Gribaldi x Cocktail) - Coby van Baalen
- Paso Doble (Krack C x Orlof) - S. Van Nieuwkoop
Only mare qualified for Verden in the Dutch team.
Nice trot, mediocre canter.
- Paddox (Ferro x Darwin) - Marijke Folmer
Stallion is developing in a nice way.
Bert Rutten explained that "it's not only the
quality that will be judged in Verden, but also their
ability to run good tests. To finish high in the ranking,
you have to ride three faultless tests. It's not just
a materiale class."
