Prinsjesdag youngsters perform excellently

Attention is often focused on the Prinsjesdag toppers at the very highest level, but it is precisely this new group of emerging Prinsjesdag horses that is also particularly interesting. And these 'Prinsjesdag-youngsters' are currently doing great!

The just six year old Get Off (Numero Uno x Indoctro – full brother of Take Off) under the Irish top rider Trevor Breen is already successfully jumping at international level and has performed well in the young horse classes in Oliva in recent weeks. At the five-year-olds Creswell LVP Z (Casall x Quantum) also doing well in Oliva. Creswell jumped many times clear in the international classes under the Belgian Lieven Devos.

Closer to home in Drachten, the now eight-year-old VDL Groep Elexia and mr. Europe their business card. Yesterday in the international class for seven- and eight-year-old show jumpers, VDL Groep Elexia (Calvaro Z x Alexis Z) under top rider Leopold van Asten finished in second place. Last weekend, Mr. Europe (Mr. Blue x Cassini I) also did well in Drachten by finishing seventh in the 1.40m class under the saddle of Marc Houtzager.
