Hans Peter became known as a world class producer of young horses after leaving Anky, where he spent his formative years. He acquired the ride on Escapado (produced to Grand Prix by Carl Hester) but things didn't go to plan and Escapado was out of action for the first 18 months. During this time Nadine gave Hans Peter his first team place and a silver medal at the Beijing Olympics. Fiona Price talks to Hans Peter about Nadine and Escapado (Peanuts) as well as Hans Peter's relationship with Edward Gal. We watch the warm up and the test and find out why Hans Peter is disappointed to finish 2nd in the Grand Prix Special.

Susan 12 May 2011 A lovely video! A wonderful man - Hans is to retire Escapado and let him spend his retired days with Carl Hester.

Fiona Price 5 Sep 2009 Thanks. This is what interests us as horsepeople which is what we try to put across! I think the reason it hasn't commonly been done is that when equestrian events are filmed by professionals, they are not horsey, or not horsey enough to know how to get to the more subtle stuff, the stuff horse people really want to know about!

Lallanslover 3 Sep 2009 These videos are such a great concept...the interview, seeing the warm-up, the test, and getting to chat to the rider after. This surely is the way to make dressage more interesting to a wider audience. Such a treat to see Hans Peter riding Peanuts, and to hear what he had to say about the experience.
