Everdale and Charlotte Fry are on fire in Hagen. After a new personal best in the regular Grand Prix they have now scored a new personal best in the Grand Prix Special: 78,146%!And again they’ve finished at the fifth place in this strong field of competitors.
Tomorrow the horses have a well deserved day off, Saturday will be the last day of the show and then it is time for the Grand Prix Freestyle.
What an amazing result for Charlotty Fry and Everdale at the European Championships in Hagen! Yesterday Lottie and Everdale scored a personal best of 77.671% in the Grand Prix. Team mates Gareth Hughes, Carl Hester and Charlotte Dujardin also rode beautiful tests. Gareth Hughes scored 74.394% with his horse Sintano van Hof Olympia, Carl Hester scored 74.848% with En Vogue and Charlotte Dujardin scored 79.829% with Gio. This eventually resulted in the silver medal for the British team!
Bufranco (s. Negro) and Charlotte Heering were part of the bronze Danish team! Van Olst Horses bought Bufranco as a foal. After a few years he has been sold to Charlotte Heering.
Since the arrival of the HorseTelex Results Ranking (2015), only one KWPN stallion has topped this list. Johnson took the top position in the world ranking for 2020. Now Gertjan van Olsts Negro (Ferro x Variant) is in the lead. And he also owes this position in large part to Van Olst personally: many of the children who collected points in the ranking for their father have a link with Van Olst.
Kastel’s Nintendo (ds. Monaco) ridden by Charlotte Jorst was owned by Van Olst as a young horse and was trained by Anne van Olst, and the same goes for Charlotte Heerings Bufranco (Negro x Zevenster) and his brother Alfranco ridden by Sarah Higgins. Severo Jurado Lopez’ Olympic horse Fendi T (Negro x Lester) is still owned by Van Olst and Beatrice Ferrer-Salats Tokio horse Elegance (Negro x Monaco) was bred by Van Olst.
A total of 19 Negros competed in international dressage last year (September 2020 – September 2021). In addition, 21 grandchildren collected points (half awarded) for their grandfather, including Van Olst’s Grand Prix stallions Chippendale (Lord Leatherdale x Negro), Everdale (Lord Leatherdale x Negro), who won team bronze with Charlotte Fry in Tokyo and Glamourdale ( Lord Leatherdale x Negro), who made an impressive debut this year in the international Grand Prix.

Yesterday the final of the Pavo Cup took place in Ermelo. The 6-year old gelding Kuvasz RS2 (Glamourdale x De Niro) became third together with his rider Marieke van der Putten!

Everdale-son Kenndale (mother Amerette elite EPTM-dres D-OC by Special D, bred by W.G.M. van Driel) was the best gelding in the Pavo Cup final for 6-years old. Together with his rider Nora van Houtem they rode a super test!
Kenndale already has many successes to his name, even though he is only 6 years old. For example he won the NAF Dressage Talent Berlicum twice. He also finished third in the final of the Subli Cup at Jumping Amsterdam in 2020.

The list of foals that have been invited for the National Foal Inspection is known. Among these foals are 8 foals descending from Kjento and Glamourdale:
Riverdale NA
At the first foal inspection in Belgium, the Glamourdale x Don Schufro son Riverdale NA, bred by H.A. Abels from Rillaar was crowned champion. The jury comment was: “A more than sufficiently developed foal with an appealing model. He trots with a lot of allure and leg technique and naturally shows a lot of posture. He strarts the same every time. We are delighted to invite this foal to the National Foal Inspection in Ermelo.”
Rosanieta MCB
The appealing champion of the second Belgian foal selection is Kjento daughter Rosanieta MCB (out of Harry’s Girl by Lord of Loxley). “This is a foal with a beautiful appearance, front and a strong topline”, explains Floor Dröge. In movement we see a very good techique in this foal, every stride is the same and she is very nice. In canter she has a lot of balance and good scope. In addition, this foal has a good walk.”
Risamante MCB
The reserve champion of the Belgian foal inspection is also a filly: Risamante MCB (Glamourdale out of Isamante elite D-OC v. Wynton). “This is a well-developed, long-lined foal with a lot of appearance. When this foal starts to move, we see a lot of posture, a lot of flexibility and good leg technique. She shows that she can collect very well in both trot and canter.”
Red Heat
Flevoland’s foal champion is by Kjento bred out of an Uphill dam by Teun Hassink. Together with his granddaughter he decided to go to the inspection and for good reason! “A very appealing foal with a well-muscled forequarters and a nice posture. He steps vigorously. In the trot, the impulsion and the power are very positive. He also gallops with a fine impulsion and a lot of jump”.

At the very busy Central Inspection of North Brabant, the Kjento son R-Valentin (out of the NMK champion Terlia keur IBOP-dres pref by Krack C, breeder I.P.S. Horse Group from Elshout) came second in the colts division. “This son of Terlia was born at the beginning of June and has a lot of charisma. He has a nice forehand and good muscling. He can walk well, has an extra canter and showed a lot of technique and uphill tendency in the trot.”

Racoon
In Zeeland, the Kjento son Racoon (out of Luna elite EPTM-dr PROK D-OC by Governor) was immediately the most striking foal. Jury chairman Floor Dröge, who judged the foals together with Marian Dorresteijn, was impressed: “A well-developed foal, long-legged with a lot of charisma. He has a good length in his body and three excellent basic gaits with a lot of quality. He shows a great posture and a good movement sequence.” He is bred by L.

It was in 1996 that the KWPN approved stallion Weyden, under Sven Rothenberger, won two bronze medals during the Olympic Games in Atlanta. Then it was the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney where the KWPN stallion Ferro under the saddle of Coby van Baalen won a silver team medal.
Now, 21 years later, it is the KWPN approved stallion Everdale (by Lord Leatherdale x Negro, breeder P. Kluitmans from Tilburg) who won a great bronze team medal ridden by the 25-year-old English rider Charlotte Fry during the Olympic Games in Tokyo.
Owner Van Olst Horses is proud of the achievements of Everdale and Charlotte Fry. Everdale lived up to his expectations in Tokyo. He was the “performance topper” as a three-year-old and won the Pavo Cup as a four-year-old.
Van Olst Horses is also proud of its stallions Lord Leatherdale and the preferent Negro. The Everdale Olympic medal is the ultimate confirmation of the breeding philosophy and is an exceptional stimulus and a source of inspiration to continue the chosen path.
But Van Olst Horses had even more beautiful moments during “Tokyo 2020”.
The own breeding product Elegance (by Negro x Reina by Monaco breeder Van Olst Horses) performed very well under Beatriz Ferrer Salat.
Fendi T (by Negro x Sursela by Lester, breeder W. Timmers from Volkel), owned by Van Olst Horses, also performed well under Severo Jurado Lopez. Both Fendi T and Elegance were in the Spanish team that finished in 7th place.
We also enjoyed Bufranco in Tokyo (by Negro x Franka by Zewind, breeder fam Kroot from Haghorst). Bufranco was sold by Van Olst Horses to the Danish Charlotte Heering as a 5-year-old. This combination showed super form in Tokyo and was the traveling reserve of the Danish team.
