The four-year-old Heliotrop HBZ (Tornesch x Calvados) was again the winner of a selection match of the Wolden Cup last Friday under rider Kim Bouten. After their victory in Staphorst, Heliotrop HBZ in Nieuwleusen once again convinced the jury and scored 25 points. Another convincing victory for the breeding product of H. Zagers, which was sold at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag 2012.
At the impressive Glock CSI5* Treffen competition, Alicante and his Belgian rider Jérôme Guery showed their good side again. The beautiful gray stallion of Casall jumped to fourth place on the opening day and only dropped one bar in his third five-star Grand Prix.
