The unprecedented potential of Mr. Europe

A top rider is nowhere without an excellent horse and vice versa. Marc Houtzager has several trump cards for the highest work and one of his upcoming talents is Mr. Europe. For breeder Harold Renken, co-owner Marry Lodewijk and rider Marc Houtzager, his good performances do not come out of the blue.

In 2009 Mr. Europe RV (Mr.Blue x Cassini I) is part of the collection of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag and was one of the gems there thanks to his excellent pedigree, athletic appearance and extra canter. He came into the hands of Benny Wezenberg and Fred Lodewijk, who paid €26,000 for the future talent. Their guess turned out to be correct, because Mr. Europe is a horse of a very special caliber.

Towards Grand Prix

Under Marc Houtzager, the Mr.Blue son is developing well. After a successful period with the young horses, with victories in the international Youngster Tour of De Wolden and Valkenswaard, the nine-year-old stallion is now jumping at 1.50m level. At the four-star competition in Münster last year, the duo came second at this level and his rider expects to progress to the highest level with him this year. A Prinsjesdag reference to keep an eye on!
