Golden Genes: The secret of Dutch jumpers

In 2016, Nick Skelton won first place at the Summer Olympic Games in Rio. The Englishman did so on the back of a horse bred in the Netherlands. This documentary is in search of the secret of the Dutch horse breeder and discovers that success also has a flip side. The sperm of a winning horse is invaluable and therefore it leads to painful decisions in the world of sports.
