Desperado wins Pavo Cup semi-final

The five-year-old KWPN stallion Desperado (Vivaldi x Havidoff), who was the big favorite for a medal at the World Championships in Verden last weekend, but missed the podium due to mistakes, yesterday finished in the lead in the semi-final for the Pavo Cup during the KWPN Horse Days in Ermelo. Under Emmelie Scholtens, the black stallion received a total of 94.5 points.

On September 17, Insider (Desperado x Stedinger) will be auctioned. Insider's dam is the half-sister of Hans Peter Minderhoud's Olympic dressage horse Nadine. This proven line combined with the very talented Desperado produces an interesting dressage foal.
