DENEKAMP - The approved stallion Stargos VDL (Stakkato Gold x Conthargos) won the jumping for five-year-olds in the GMB competition in Denekamp (NED) under Iris Hakvoort (NED).
Stargos thus proved once again to be the textbook example of a modern showjumping horse.

Last September, Stargos VDL also won the class for five-year-olds at Outdoor Zuidwolde. 
In addition, Stargos VDL managed to win the jumping for five-year-olds in Tubbergen (NED) in June.
Stargos was already approved by Oldenburg in 2019 and after passing the performance test in January 2022 also by the KWPN: for his lightning-fast reflexes, he received an 8.5.
The talented Stakkato Gold stallion passed his sport test in Münster-Handorf (GER) in 2021 with high scores. No fewer than four 8.5s appear on the stallion's score list for the 14-day performance test in Adelheidsdorf (GER), Germany, in 2020.
Stargos VDL was bred by W. Winkeler from Herzlake (GER).

The GMB competition in Denekamp last weekend also yielded a number of VDL stallions' offspring a fine position in the rankings.
