Johnson Winner VHO Trophy at KWPN Stallion Show

The Jazz son, KWPN stallion Johnson showed by Hans Peter Minderhoud is the VHO Trophy winner for the best dressage stallion at Intermediate or Grand Prix level at the KWPN Stallion Show. In an expressive, flawless Freestyle test, a debut for Minderhoud and his fantastic performing stallion, the pair demonstrated mastery and suppleness in all the movements. The bay stallion scored 77.125%. It was more than enough for the victory. Hans Peter said: “Johnson is a gentleman. He simply does what you are asking for. I hope to bring him to some international shows at intermediate level and than prepare him for Grand Prix”, Hans Peter commented.
The difference between the second and third place finishers was smaller. Roman Nature, ridden by Angela Krooswijk, had some baubles in the tempi-changes, which resulted in a score of 73.33%. Decor Dreamcatcher performed a pleasing test under Mireille van Kemenade-Witlox but also made some mistakes in the changes, earning a score of 73.293%.
