Australian multi-Olympian Mary Hanna has secured a second young Grand Prix horse for her 2024 Paris Olympic campaign. Hanna bought Ivanhoe in The Netherlands.
Ivanhoe is a 10-year old KWPN gelding by Desperado out of Pirouette ID (by Jazz x Komeet). He is bred by S. Waterschoot uit Hoogeloon, The Netherlands.
Ivanhoe - Icecream
The black gelding has been going by and competing in The Netherlands under two names, as Ivanhoe and as Icecream.
Owned by Petra van Oostrum, Ivanhoe was trained to Grand Prix level by Margreet Prosman.
In 2016 they were 22nd in the VSN Trophy finals for 3-year olds and in 2017 they competed in the Pavo Cup semi-finals and were 26th. Two years later the pair placed 10th in the 6-year old division of the 2019 Pavo Cup Finals.
They twice tried out for Dutch team selection for the 2019 and 2020 World Young Horse Championships, but did not make the cut. Prosman rode Ivanhoe in his first national Grand Prix test on 8 April 2022 and scored 65.109%.
