The Dutch Olympic Horse Foundation (N.O.P.) has secured two talented horses, ensuring that they will remain available for TeamNL at least through the World Championships in Aachen 2026. The horses are dressage horse Zantana RS2 OLD, successfully competing under Marieke van der Putten (Groesbeek), and Pretty Woman van ’t Paradijs, who has been showing her class in show jumping with Willem Greve (Markelo).
This year, Willem Greve won the Dutch Show Jumping Championship with Pretty Woman van ’t Paradijs. During the European Championships in La Coruña (Spain), the pair placed 6th with the team and 20th individually. They also achieved a 5th place with the team at the Nations Cup in Rome (Italy) earlier this year. Greve and this mare have previously earned impressive results, including a 2nd place in the Grand Prix at Jumping Amsterdam 2024. Pretty Woman also showed great promise in various young horse competitions.
The horses have been secured with an eye on the World Championships in Aachen 2026 and the Olympic Games in Los Angeles 2028.
