Bruno Diniz das Neves has started the season well with the Van Gogh
offspring Karius (ds.Drossan). With this nine-year-old KWPN horse bred
by Jurgen van Leur, the Portuguese rider delivered a double clear performance
in the 1.45m Grand Prix in Thermal. They finished in the fourth place.
At the national show in Heiden, Germany, Hendrik Dowe competed with
Donnergirl 19 (Donthargos x Lupicor, bred by Michael Steinbrecher), making
a strong impression.
Emanuele Gaudiano secured an Italian victory last Saturday with Vasco
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.
