2012 Pavo Cup Finals

Desperado and Charmeur have taken a strong lead by winning the 2012 Pavo Cup semi-finals which are held at the KWPN Paardendagen in Ermelo, The Netherlands. Today the semi-finals are taking place to determine the group of horses that can move on to the Finals on Thursday 16 August 2012.

In the 4-year old division Emmelie Scholtens and the KPWN licensed stallion and performance test winner Desperado (by Vivaldi x Havidoff) ruled the pack with 88 points. She kept all competition at bay as the second placed horse Diva (by Vivaldi x Gribaldi), the KWPN licensed stallion Diego (by Negro x Don Gregory) as well as Dundee M (by Lord Leatherdale x Sandro Hit) tied with 85.5 points. The 2011 KWPN elite mare reserve champion Dolly (by Ziesto x Osmium) ranked fifth.

In the 5-year old division Emmelie Scholtens took a firm lead aboard the KWPN licensed stallion and performance test winner Charmeur (by Florencio x Jazz). The bright chestnut, who is bred by the late legendary Huub van Helvoirt,scored 93 points in total thanks to a 10 for trot. Dinja van Liere steered the black Capri Sonne (by Rhodium x San Remo) to a second place with 88 points, while Mirelle van Kemenade and the bay licensed stallion Cachet L (by Jazz x Ferro) were third with 86 points. Scholtens and the Canadian owned Hanoverian Connaisseur (by Conteur x Donnerhall) ranked fourth with 85 points, while Fransje van der Meer and the gelding Casper (by Westpoint x Goodtimes) completed the top five with 85 points.
