Despite the multiple announcements and press releases that Arjen Teeuwissen's number one mount Gestion Goliath T is to make his grand come back at the CDI-W 's Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands, next week
, it has been officially confirmed that Goliath will not compete at that show.
Frank Garritsen, who is Arjen Teeuwissen's life partner and co-stable manager, clarifies the situation. "Indeed we had hoped to make our Goliath's come back at Indoor Brabant, but we only want show the horse when he's 100% fit. He's doing well right now, but he's still not at that point we want him to be."
The CDI-W 's Hertogenbosch, also known as Indoor Brabant, is not so much an important show to Teeuwissen, as he has ridden no World Cup Qualifiers this year any way. "We are currently training hard with Sjef Janssen, and together with him, Anky and the chef d'equipe we have decide to postpone the come back," Garritsen adds.
Garritsen and Teeuwissen have check marked the Dutch Dressage Championships in Nijmeghen in June and the European Championships in Hickstead in August as important shows on their calendar. Goliath T (by Zebulon) will most likely make his rentree on the scene in June.
