🌍 From Het Zwarte Water to Olympic Gold 🥇
We’re grateful for the overwhelming response from around the world to the story of Anky van Grunsven and Prisco.
At just 12 years old, Anky discovered Prisco here at Het Zwarte Water — the beginning of a journey that led to her first Olympic appearance in Seoul.
With 9 Olympic medals, she remains the most decorated equestrian Olympian of all time, and the only rider to win three consecutive individual Olympic golds.
It is a remarkable story that will be told for generations to come — and inspire every rider who dreams of competing at the highest level.
Today, Het Zwarte Water continues to nurture horses and riders with the same dedication that first brought Anky and Prisco together — a legacy rooted in De Mortel, guiding the future of sport horses and equestrian sport around the world.
