Source: KWPN
During the subtop competition in Houten last saturday, Charlotte Fry won the Prix St. Georges with the KWPN-approved stallion Everest. Lottie rode the Especial son to a score of 69.78%.
During the international competition in Lier, Belgium, last month, the combination achieved second place twice in the Light Tour. Everest scored 70.52% in the Prix St. Georges and 68% in the Intermediaire I.
In January, Charlotte Fry rode Everest to victory in the Anemone Horse Trucks Stallion Competition in the Z class. In the intermediate standings, the grey stallion was already in the lead, during the finals at the KWPN Stallion Show, Everest completed this. A horse that walks well through its body and has a lot of technique, tritt and power in trot. The canter is very nicely closed with a fantastic hind leg.

Attention! Roadworks around Den Hout and Utrecht!

This coming weekend, the A27 between Utrecht and Gorinchem will be closed to all traffic in a southerly direction. As far as we know, the exit from the A27 to the A2 near Utrecht is still open. People from Utrecht can then take the A2 to Den Bosch and then the A59 towards Waalwijk/Breda.

The exit to Made on the A59 is closed. For all traffic to Den Hout, it is best to take exit 33 Oosterhout and then follow the diversion route B. When you do this, you will come to a roundabout with a toll, here you turn left towards Den Hout and then you can follow the normal route in Den Hout.

The Stallion Show is outside. Coffee and tea are free, we have heaters in the tent but make sure to wear a warm coat.
See you on Sunday!

Lottie and Glamourdale on fire at Indoor Brabant the Dutch Masters

On Saturday 15 March, the last World Cup dressage qualification competition was held in the Brabanthallen in Den Bosch. Lottie and Glamourdale were once again the very best. They had already won the World Cup in London and Amsterdam and did so again in Den Bosch. Lottie piloted the KWPN approved stallion Glamourdale (by Lord Leatherdale) to 89.705% and first place after a very good Freestyle.

It was a pleasure to watch a beautiful ride by a great combination. The audience started clapping enthusiastically as they rode up the last line. The stallion continued undisturbed towards the end and concluded with a piaffe pirouette. “He was great, what a feeling and what an audience!”

Afterwards, Fry said: “It is not often that I shed a tear after a test. Glamourdale was incredible. What a crowd, and what a show!”

For the chairman of the jury Francis Verbeek-Van Roy, this was Glamourdale’s very best test ever. “I have seen him many times, often not as a jury member, and I have never seen him as good as he was today. It was not just top sport, it was entertainment at the highest level!” She awarded the test with almost 90%, two other jury members (Christine Prip from Denmark and Isobel Wessels from Great Britain) went over it. The jury was unanimous in the placements of the entire podium. Fry’s impressive performance was almost 90% with 89.705% – just a little lower than the score of Jumping Amsterdam, but still one of the highest scores Glamourdale has run since the European Championships in Riesenbeck.

With sixty points (three times the total number of points, in London, Amsterdam and Den Bosch) Charlotte Fry will definitely reach the World Cup final.
