Shooting star at rocket speed
With a combination of talent, hard work, and a clear passion, there is no doubt that Nanna and Znickers will continue to impress and inspire with their exemplary riding

Impressive second place for Nanna and Znickers in Intermediare II
It is clear to anyone who has seen this dynamic duo in action that they both have a brilliant future ahead of them. Their performance in Intermediare II is just the beginning.
Blue Hors Znickers is a 10-year-old gelding by Blue Hors Zack/De Niro, bred by Hans Rode. With his young age and the power and talent he has already demonstrated, it is evident that this horse possesses tremendous potential. This, combined with Nanna’s expertise and skill as a rider, creates a dynamic duo in the dressage arena that we expect to see much more of in the future.
