Minderhoud and Flirt win World Cup Stockhom
Dec 1, 2015
The Netherlands’ Hans Peter Minderhoud reigned supreme in the Reem Acra FEI World Cup™ Dressage 2015/2016 Western European League qualifier at Stockholm in Sweden today. The 42-year-old rider who, with Glock's Johnson, claimed team gold and individual bronze at this summer’s FEI European Championships in Aachen (GER), steered another of his powerful string, the 14-year-old Glock's Flirt, to victory ahead of host nation stars Patrik Kittel and Watermill Scandic. And it was a great day for the Dutch when Adelinde Cornelissen lined up third with the Jerich Parzival who won back-to-back Reem Acra titles in 2011 and 2012.
There was a strong Swedish presence, with seven of the 15 starters representing the host nation. And last year’s Swedish winner, Tinne Vilhelmson Silfven, lined out with Paridon Magi this time around to finish fifth just behind Denmark’s Agnete Kirk Thinggaard and Jojo Az.
