Intenz's mother is Pieter Devos' Grand Prix horse, Candy. A few years ago the pair won the prestegious CNN Grand Prix at Spruce Meadows.
Before Intenz was competed by former World Champion Philippe Le Jeune's partner, Lucia Vizzini. The combinations competed up to a 1.45m level. Axel Verlooy hasn't decided yet wether Intenz will be competing under Harrie Smolders' or Jos Verlooy's saddle.
