2000 World Cup Finals

Living legend "Aktion" will resign from his function as international show horse at Indoor Brabant. Hungarian Guyla Dallos will bring his KWPN approved stallion to 's Hertogenbosch where the white prince of the freestyle will say good bye to his competition career.

Born in 1982, Aktion was bred by Berend Ridder from Harkstede. At age two and a half he got licensed for the KWPN studbook and from his first three breeding years more than 50 of his get showed up to Fourth Level. Aktion's most famous descendant is without a doubt Berkenhorst Galliano, also competing at Indoor Brabant under the Dutch Barbara Koot.

Aktion will come to Den Bosch, not to compete but to say good bye to the crowds. Sired by Pion, the white prince of the freestyle has had enough after six world cup finals, six world championships and five European championships. For ten years Aktion competed at Grand Prix level and gained fifty victories. The apex of his career was most likely the bronze medal at the 1993 European Dressage Championships in Lipica, Slovenia.
