Verdi, KWPN Horse of 2018

Verdi TN has been chosen as Horse of the year 2018. The stallion was honored during the KWPN Stallion Show.  Stud Nijhof acknowledges their stallion:
“There’s no horse in the world like Verdi. For 9 years, he has competed at the highest level, and combines this with breeding. We were allowed to experience two Olympic Games, WEG Caen, European Championships at Aachen and many beautiful wins with him. Congratulations to all, but most to team Van der Vleuten for the amazing management of this stallion of absolute world-class.”
