Zinius and Verdades best jumping and dressage horse of 2018 by WBFSH

Last week, the WBFSH has put the spotlights on the best jumping, dressage and eventing horses of the past year. The Dutch studbook, KWPN has surpassed the Belgian Warmblood horse in the past year as best show jumping studbook, and it keeps that position.

The best jumping and dressage horses are KWPN registered. It is Harrie Smolders' 14-year-old Zinius who takes in the spot as best showjumping horse of 2018. The Nabab de Reve-son was produced up to the highest level by Doron Kuipers. After Smolders took over the reins of Mario and Mischa Everse's breeding product. Last year the pair won the World Cup in Mechelen.

The 16-year-old Verdades (KWPN) was crowned best dressage horse. Together with Laura Graves Verdades was the best on last month's FEI Dressage Raning.

The Dutch bred, Albana Z (Asca Z) is the best eventing horse of 2018. The Zangersheide-gelding is competing under the saddle of Philip Dutton.
