VHO-Trophy SC Den Bosch
Franka Loos showed George Clooney (De Niro x Wolkentanz) and Giovanni (Chippendale x Scandic) during the VHO-Trophy in the Brabanthallen.
The sturdy Giovanni scored points for his presence and the pleasure with which he worked for his rider. “A complete horse with all the buttons and who also enjoys working” assessed Mariette Sanders – van Gansewinkel. Result: 8.7 and a second place.
George Clooney was a little overawed by the full Brabanthallen (6500 visitors on the Friday) and suffered a little from tension. But this De-Niro-son certainly has talent. Just as many De Niro-offspring, they just get better and better as they develop towards Big Tour-level. George Clooney will become more and more convincing at stud. Several very special offspring of his will appear in the 2019 Van Olst Sales.
Giovanni: Chippendale x Scandic x Negro-Breeder; C. van Etten
George Clooney: De Niro x Wolkentanz x Forrest XX-Breeder; U. Lahmann-Gehrke
