Maikel Van der Vleuten´s top horse is back to top competition with a worthy 8th position in CHIO Aachen last weekend, after 6 months out of competition dedicated to his work as a stallion. Since January haven´t we enjoyed Verdi on a date like the one in Aachen. Rotterdam and Paris were previous tests to the excellent performance in Germany, where the horse helped classifying the Dutch rider in the top 10 of Rolex Grand Prix. This is good news for Maikel Van der Vleuten who has achieved his best qualifications on Verdi: silver medalist at the 2012 London Olympic Games and gol medal in WEG in Normandy and in the Nations Cup final in 2014, all with the Dutch Team. Individually, five times finalist in the World Cup with Verdi. Verdi´s showing in Germany confirms his good shape to make again this excellent qualifications.
