Dutch equestrian From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antonius "Toon" Ebben (22 December 1930 – 4 February 2011) was a Dutch equestrian. After acting as a groom for Max and Ernest van Loon at the 1952 Summer Olympics, Ebben began competing himself, riding Kairouan in the 1950s–60s and later Jumbo Design (born 1969).[1] At the 1976 Summer Olympics he finished 25th and 12th in the individual and team mixed jumping events, respectively. The following year he won a bronze and a gold European medal in these events. In 1978 Ebeen earned a silver medal in the team jumping, on Jumbo Design,[2] and was named a Knight of the Order of Orange-Nassau.[3]
