History edit
He was born on May 11, 2011,[1] at André Herouart's stud farm in Escolives-Sainte-Camille.[2]
He has been ridden by the Dutch rider Harrie Smolders since September 2020.[3] Smolders, faced with the retirements of his excellent horses Don VHP Z and Emerald, had to prepare a replacement for the Olympics in a few months.[3] Initially, Smolders, selected for the Dutch team, planned to take his horse Dolinn N.O.P. to Tokyo.[4] Ultimately, Smolders takes Bingo, becoming a substitute for the Dutch show jumping team.[4]
Participation in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics edit
Smolders and Bingo du Parc replace Willem Greve and his mount during the team qualifying event at the Tokyo Olympics.[5] Bingo, less tired than most other competing horses, completes a faultless course, allowing the Netherlands to maintain a total team score of 9 points.[5]
Description edit
