The Dutch equestrian federation has announced a switch in the delegation of horses that will be sent to Verden, Germany, to represent the Dutch Warmblood Society at the 2013 World Championships for Young Dressage Horses on 7 - 11 August 2013. Hans Peter Minderhoud and Casper have dropped out and will be replaced by Che de Jeu.
Owned by the Austrian Gaston Glock, the 6-year old bay KWPN gelding Casper is by Westpoint out of a Goodtimes dam and was trained and competed last year by Fransje van der Meer.
Minderhoud's assistent trainer Marieke van der Putten, who competed Vitalis last year at the World Championships, will be saddling Che de Jeu (by Voice x Jazz) for Verden. The combination were the first reserves on the Dutch 6-year old short list.
Hans Peter Minderhoud will be riding in Verden for the Danish warmblood society on the Danish bred licensed stallion Zonik (by Zack x Romanov x Don Schufro).
