Doron Kuipers was in the winning mood at Jumping Etten-Leur. One of the victories was during the spectacular Masters on Friday evening. While the fences raised to 1.55m level, three riders came back for the jump-off. Koen Leemans and Dopharma's Tella (by Landeur) had a fault on the last fence. Also Zoļ Snels and Hardy's This Lux (by Lux) dropped a pool. This ment that Doron had to clear the round to win. Still he tried to make a fast round to be sure he could still win if he made a fault. But that didn't happen. With his age of 7 year Zinius (by Nabab de Reve) jumped outstanding at this level and hereby showed he is capable of much more. "I didn't expect this hight would come so easy for him", tells Mario Everse, who seems to have a future international international show jumper in hand.
Everse bred Zinius out of Winia van het Vennehof (Kannan x Codexco), who is recently sold in the USA for a lot of money. She is also mother of the Grand Prix-show jumper Coriander van het Vennehof (by Triomphe de Muze), who competes with Gianni Govoni.
