World Cup Debut for Jeanette Haazen and Quicksilver
Former
Dutch Grand Prix team member Jeanette Haazen is back
for the big time. Riding the Belgian warmblood stallion
Quicksilver, Haazen made her come back to the international
Grand Prix arena at the international World Cup qualifier
in Ksiaz, Poland. Winning the Intermediaire II with
69.65%, finishing third in the Grand Prix with 70.50%
and third in the freestyle with 74.80%, Haazen is extremely
pleased with the performances of her grey stallion.
Haazen rode her first national Grand Prix test at the
Zwolle stallion show in which she finished 6th with
64,10%. One week before the CDI-W Ksiaz, Haazen saddled
the stallion for the national show in Breda, but there
was too much tension in their ride. In Ksiaz, the combination
spiced up their act and scored internationally respected
scores. "I hope that I can ride more World Cup
qualifiers, so that I can get qualification points,
but of course I need to get a ride permit to compete
in the World Cup Qualifiers. I have to do some waiting
to see how it goes," an optimistic Haazen explained.
Quicksilver
is a 10-year old registered Belgian warmblood stallion
by Latano x Touck of Fairway xx and is licensed for
the Anglo European Studbook and for the SBS studbook.
He was discovered by Peter Pieters, who competed him
at the 1997 Belgian Championships for young dressage
horses. Haazen purchased the stallion when he was six
and showed him at the 1999 World Championships for Young
Dressage Horses in Arnhem, The Netherlands.
