The crew behind Anky van Grunsven's Kur To Music successes are Slings/Kerkhof. This Dutch company composes custom made soundtracks for all of Anky's horses. Their partnership began in 1996 when Slings/Kerkhof created "Bonfire's Symphony".
With this theme the combination became Dutch Dressage Champion in that year and won two Silver Olympic Medals in Atlanta. One year later the incredibly popular soundtrack made Anky win the Volvo World Cup Final in April 1997.
The demo stadium of Bonfire's symphony took 34 (studio)days of work, spread over a period of three months and the kur was filmed at least ten times. The Slings/Kerkhof duo also composed the James Bond Kur for Anky's Trakehner stallion TCN Partout. Partout is a graceful mover and the music gives him even more charisma.
Slings and Kerkhof are now working on Anky's kur for the 2000 Olympic Games. Visit their Dutch flash website at http://www.slings.nl
