Show jumping horses Olympic Games (London 2012) (Part 2)

Then I want to talk about the show jumpers. Again the KWPN (Dutch warmblood horses) are on top of the list with show jumping. They had a massive number of jumping horses on the games. Very impressive is the second place of the relative small BWP (Belgium warmblood), between the big studbooks. The big SF (Selle Francais) finishes third, with 9 horses. With a total of 660 points 1st KWPN (Dutch warmblood), followed by BWP (Belgium warmblood) with 405 points and 3th Selle Francais with 355 points.

Individual show jumping riders

The ‘weighted’ ranked list with show jumping is a little bit different than the list of dressage. The small studbooks seize power now. The individual 10th place of Ben Maher with Triple X (v. Namelus), the performance of Sultan (v. Irco Mena) and Tinka’s Serenade (v. Tinka’s boy) deliver AES (Anglo European Studbook) the golden medal. They displace the sBs (Belgium sport horse) to the second place. SBs delivered the horse Hello Sanctos (v. Quasimodo van de Molendreef) with rider Scott Brash, and Rahmannshof’s Bogeno (v. Baloubet du Rouet) with rider Alvaro de Miranda. Subsequently takes BWP (Belgium warmblood horses) the bronze medal.

Statistic notes

With a yearly number of 700/800 foals and two or three Olympic horses plays coincidence also a big role. For instance if breeder Lei Berben the mare Calve B (Zangersheide) (pregnant of Triple X) not pregnant sold, then AES would not be listed.

The biggest victim is Selle Francais. Because of his big size they finish on the bottom of the page. Just like Hanoverian in dressage, had the French Selle Francais earn more points with show jumping for there studbook in Greenwich Park London.

Final result horse studbooks

Who is eventually the winner of the genetic Olympic games? Qualitatively and quantitatively has the KWPN (Dutch warmblood horses) doing it very well. But seen to the effectiveness from the population and the reliability of big numbers weight, go’s the golden medal the the Belgium warmblood horses with jumping and Danish warmblood horses with dressage.
