In the election for Jumping Horse of the Year 2023 powered by Onori, Eldorado, a son of Highway TN N.O.P., received by far the most votes from the public. The top stallion from the stables of Willem Greve was honored tonight during the KWPN Stallion Show.

Highway TN N.O.P. (out of Zelana V PROK by Chellano) was bred by P. Verdellen Paarden Fok & Opfok. The stallion stood out from a young age, and he fully lives up to expectations. Last year, he competed in his first major championship at the European Championships in Milan, finishing in tenth place. This past weekend, Willem and Highway TN N.O.P. once again showed great class at Jumping Amsterdam, securing the second place in the World Cup.

Fighting spirit
Towards the Olympic Games in Paris, Willem has two contenders. Grandorado TN N.O.P., who won this title last year, and Highway TN N.O.P. "Highway TN's greatest quality is his mindset," he commented. "It's an indescribable feeling when a horse gives you everything. His spirit is incredible. I am also incredibly grateful to the people around Highway. Firstly, the Verdellen family, but also Klaas Mosterd who found him at the breeder. The Nijhof family has now taken him over and said 'no' to substantial offers to keep him for you for breeding and for me for sport."
