Euro Update: Second Car for Jan Brink at the Stockholm World Cup Qualifier
Briar is an exciting horse, having competed in seven World Cup™ Finals already, two Olympic Games and a lot of other shows. He has uncountable wins on his record, being the overall winner of the Aachen Horseshow in 2005 to be considered as the most impeccable. Jan Brink aims to keeping 16 year old Briar this fit and healthy in the sport, on the way to possibly his third Olympic Games in his 9th year going Grand Prix. Jan Brink: “I cannot wish for more but keeping Briar as energetic and steady as he is now! A good management is my only concern. I just like to show Briar in as many or less shows as will fit him the best, to keep his energy as it is now. To me now he is at top level. I certainly do not aim especially for the World Cup™ Final but will do the World Cup™ qualifier in Amsterdam or Neumünster just because it’s good competition there and because of the quality of the shows there.” The chairman of the judges Gustav Svalling emphasized the great management of Brink showing Briar in this good shape. However mr Svalling today considered Tinne Vilhelmson as the winner showing Solos Carex to wonderful heights. Gustav Svalling: “Today for me it was not Jan Brink only who can be praised. Tinne Vilhelmson today showed to me her great capacities as a rider. She did a superb test, riding Solos Carex really smoothly forward. It just was good riding with a happy horse which appealed to the eye.” Tinne Vilhelmson was the runner up and said she rode her test with a super feeling, having a smile on her face all the time. “The roof almost went of the Globe by the enthusiasm of the audience. It was fantastic! The excitement really rose to the climax with the tight schedule for the canter parts beautifully emphasized by the music”, Vilhelmson commented.
