Royal (ds.Quick Star, breeder N.A. Toonen) he finished on Saturday as runner-up
in the 1.40m class and on Sunday another good clear round brought them
the sixth prize.
At the national show in Heiden, Germany, Hendrik Dowe competed with
Donnergirl 19 (Donthargos x Lupicor, bred by Michael Steinbrecher), making
a strong impression.

118, a son of Vivant van de Heffinck. At the CSI5* in Fontainebleau, they
were the undisputed winners of the Table A 1.50m class.
