Charlotte Fry is having a great day in Kronenberg

It was a busy and quite long day today for Charlotte Fry in Kronenberg, but the rider did not go home empty-handed. In the Grand Prix she won with Glamourdale (by Lord Leatherdale, breeder J.W. Rodenburg) with a super score of 78.153%. Lottie finished second with Don Joe (by Diego, breeder Van Olst Horses), who made his debut at this level, and in the other Big Tour class, the British rider rode Inclusive (by Everdale, breeder: R. Enting) in to a winning debut in the Intermediate II. “I’m very happy,” said the rider afterwards. “Glamourdale is better than ever and Don Joe and Inclusive have both also done very well for the first time in a new class.”

For Glamourdale, today was the first time he went along since Aachen and he was looking forward to it. “We have continued to work well at home and he has continued to develop very nicely and has also become stronger again,” says Fry.
The fact that he is not in a competition rhythm at the moment does not disturb Glamourdale at all and according to Lottie he was just happy that he was out to show again. “We had a lot of nice points today and the piaffe and the passage we even had 8.5s and nines,” continues Fry. “Glamourdale loves to compete. He loves to be in the spotlight and I feel in the ring that he enjoys it. He really shines.”

Very easy
Don Joe was the first of the three this morning and he scored 72.772% on his GP debut. “Two weeks ago, at his Inter II debut, he completed the test very easily and then we had almost 72% and today it went so well again,” says Fry. “I am so very happy with him. He always does his best even if he is still a bit green and he just needs to get a little routine in the test. He really has a lot of talent for the exercises like piaffe, passage and the pirouettes and I’m really looking forward to the future with him.”

Inclusive
For Inclusive it was the first time in the Intermédiaire II today. “It rained really hard when I had to start with Inclusive and that made a lot of noise in the hall. He was a bit nervous because of that and that caused some tension,” explains Fry. “What I am very happy about is that he did well in the difficult exercises such as the piaffe and the passage, the pirouettes and the single changes, even though he found it exciting.”

Dutch debut
This was the first competition on Dutch soil for New Zealand rider Melissa Galloway. At the beginning of November, she and her two horses came to Van Olst Horses to train and work here. With Joey she managed to score more than 70% and finished in a nice 5th place.

Also in the ZZ-Zwaar and the Small Tour there were combinations with scores of more than seventy percent. Set Boschman received more than 72% from one of the judges for his test with I am Sam RS2 (by Everdale, breeder K. Retera), total score 70 percent in total. In the Inter I, Anouk Ivits and Iris (by Lord Leatherdale, breeder Van Olst Horses) were head and shoulders above the rest with 73.088% and in the ZZ-Zwaar Marieke van der Putten and Kuvasz RS2 (by Glamourdale, breeder Dekstation De Havikerwaard ) a score of 71.214%.
