Anemone Horse Trucks from Scherpenzeel and Stoeterij Sterrehof from Nunspeet are once again the title sponsor of the Grand Prix at the Diamond Edition. The âAnemone Horse Trucks Grand Prix of Amsterdam powered by Stoeterij Sterrehofâ is the closing number of the sports program on Saturday evening 26 January in the RAI Amsterdam.
Both Anemone Horse Trucks and Stoeterij Sterrehof are loyal sponsors of Jumping Amsterdam. Since 2012 both companies have connected their names to the Grand Prix, first alternately and since 2016 together. Bert van Kooten, owner and founder of Anemone: âFor many years we have been both a sponsor and partner of the event. It is great to show our horse trucks again this year. With the new lay out of the promo village, this is even possible at two different locations. The Grand Prix is an absolute highlight with sold-out stands and an exciting jumping competition, so we are happy to be the title sponsor.â Ivo Campagne, owner of Stoeterij Sterrehof is also pleased with the collaboration. âJumping Amsterdam truly is a public event with an extraordinary Amsterdam atmosphere that we have to cherish. We are happy to be able to contribute in this way.â Marc Houtzager, rider of Stoeterij Sterrehof, spectacularly won the Grand Prix in 2018 with Sterrehofâs Calimero. âEverything fell into place that afternoon, for us it was a dream coming true.â according to a proud Ivo Campagne.
