After an excellent start to the season at the Herning 3*, where the 10-year-old stallion won the Grand Prix with 77.500% and the Grand Prix Special with 79.042%, Viva Gold Old was today the true and only favorite for the Mannheim 4* Grand Prix.

Amsterdam, 's-Hertogenbosch, and now Exloo: Marieke van der Putten has clearly deci
They housed the activities of the Dutch equestrian branch of the Glock family, led by Edward Gal, Hans Peter Minderhoud and Nicole Werner: the magnificent stables of Oosterbeek have reportedly been sold, with a future still focused on dressage. For the past few days, certain posts on social media have been attracting the attention of keen observers, and it was in the Dutch press and on the website horses.nl that the information was finally revealed today: the former Glock sta
Easy winners of the qualifying Grand Prix for the CDI 4* Grand Prix Special in Hagen, Cathrine Laudrup Dufour & MSJ Freestyle won again this morning with another big victory accompanied by a personal record. At 17, the Fidermark's daughter certainly demonstrated that she is in top form for this World Championship year.
