Top dressage rider says farewell to grand prix star

Leading dressage rider Hans Peter Minderhoud has paid tribute to the shy stallion who grew into one of his top horses.

Glock’s Tango was put down this month aged 18 due to ongoing health problems.

The Dutch rider took Tango on as a three-year-old and remembers how spooky he was at his first stallion performance test.

“It was terrible,” said Hans Peter. “I wasn’t at all sure how things could work with him at tournaments. But with time he became more trusting and his quirks became a thing of the past.”
