He almost didn't make it to the cur but the death of the legendary stallion Tolilas caused a real shockwave in the horse world. The stallion was a real phenomenon under Edward Gal but never managed to reach his old level after that. Among others Schockemöhle saw a great talent in him and that's why he bought the stallion.
Killer Queen Vdm (v. Eldorado vd Zeshoek)
Daniel Deusser already named this mare as his hope for the 2021 Olympics and he confirmed that this season. Not only did Deusser jump with the mare to victory in the Doha Grand Prix, he also recently won the World Cup of Ridayh in the saddle of the mare. In 2019 this combination also won the World Cup of Mechelen, definitely a combination to keep an eye on in 2021.
Varoune (by Verdi TN)
Varoune equalled a 46-year old record with Jos Verlooy this year by jumping to the Belgian title for the second year in a row. Not only did this Verdi son do very well during the Belgian Championship, more recently he also jumped to third place in the World Cup of Riyadh. The 12-year-old gelding looks like the pinnacle of his career and promises that for the 2021 Games!
Verdi TN (by Quidam de Revel)
Normally this 18-year-old stallion would say goodbye to the sport for good during Indoor Brabant. Unfortunately, this competition was cancelled in extremis and his farewell ceremony was postponed to 2021. This stallion had his greatest successes under the saddle of Maikel van der Vleuten, with whom he jumped to the silver medal at the London Olympics.
Darry Lou (by Tangelo vd Zuuthoeve)
This stallion made for the most controversial transfer of 2020. After all, the top horse of the American topamazone Beezie Madden moved to the stables of Jennifer Gates. Under Madden's saddle, Darry Lou jumped several World Cups and major championships. Beezie Madden let it be known that the Games are still one of her main goals.
