CDI Exloo has started!

A few minutes ago Charlotte Fry and Inclusive, s. Everdale x Uptown breeder fam. Enting from Grolloo started there Prix St. Georges in Exloo.
The moment they entered the ring the wind picked up and in the pooring rain the duo had to complete there test. Nevertheless the pair showed a beautiful test with a lot of highlights. Inclusive absolutely showed his ability for the highest collection in canter with beautiful canterpirouettes and the trot work stood out with a lot of expression.
At the end of the test the total result was 73,333% and a superb 2nd place in the final standings.

Special weekend lays behind us.

Last weekend was completely dominated by the international start of the competition season in Hagen am Teutoborger Wald. After all Covid restrictions and the outbreak of the Rhino virus, this was the first opportunity for many riders to compete. A CDI was organized on the impressive showgrounds of the Kasselmann family. In the corridors this was already called the “Olympic Games” in Hagen, given the names on the starting list.

Our stable rider Charlotte Fry took part in this competition with Everdale and Glamourdale.

Everdale was allowed to kick off in the Grand Prix, which was the qualification for the Kur. Because it was the first time after a long time, the routine might have missed a little bit, but almost flawlessly Lottie was able to lead the black pearl through the test. In the end there was a very deserved 73.804% on the scoreboard which ultimately resulted in a fifth place.

After this, it was time for Glamourdale to make his international debut in the Grand Prix that counted as qualification for the Special. This special also counts as a team competition during the Olympic Games and so the competition was fierce. In the second Grand Prix of his life, Glamourdale and Lottie managed to put down a super test. Highlights were of course the extended trot and the canter. But the duo also showed that all exercises with the highest degree of collection are no problem at all. Ultimately, this debut was judged with a score of 74.456%, which was good for a seventh place.

Saturday was the day of the special and the kur to music. First was the GP special on the program, where Glamourdale had to start early in the class. That this test might suit him even better than the regular test was evident from the score of 76.404% and a final fifth place. In short, a very successful performance of his very first Grand Prix Special!

Later that evening Everdale started his Freestyle. Under the atmospheric artificial light, Everdale was at its best and absolutely stood out! On the well-fitting music the duo showed one highlight after another, which ultimately resulted in a huge 81.770%, which also meant a new personal record for Everdale and Lottie.

Kjento and Lantanas now also approved for Hanover

Yesterday a special approval was organized for older stallions at the Hanoverian Studbook in Verden.

Kjento, s. Negro x Jazz bred by the van Os family from Sprang Capelle, who recently won the stallion presentation at the KWPN stallion inspection in Ermelo, was presented here by Charlotte Fry. Again this stallion impressed with his generous model and great movements.

Lantanas, the son of Sir Donnerhall out of a Hemmingway mother bred by S. Kleuskens from Horst, was also presented here by Lottie and showed that much can be expected of him for the future.

Both stallions are now approved for Hannover and are now also allowed to breed Hanoverian mares.

Watch a short video of Lantanas of this day here.

Successful auction “The Young Ones”

The last virtual hammer just fell during the Young Ones auction. From the group of three-year-old geldings out of the Van Olst breeding program, 7 better horses were selected and auctioned this evening.

With a total turnover of € 108.500,- and an average price of € 15.500,- these horses were sold for a good price.

The most expensive two horses in the auction are both by Inclusive, the most expensive of the evening being the gelding Nico. For the nice amount of € 27,000, this gelding moves to a dressage stable in the Netherlands.

Nike D is also sold to a Dutch rider who previously bought a horse through the Van Olst Sales. In addition to these 2 horses, 2 more were sold within the Netherlands and the other horses were sold to France, the United States and Germany.

Collaboration Care4Mare, Dier-N-artsen & Van Olst Horses

Care4Mare, Dier-N-artsen and Van Olst Horses have started a partnership that will take effect immediately.

The home base for this joint collaboration is the Care4Mare company based in Molenschot (Noord Brabant). This company specializes in the care and gynecological support of mares. Care4Mare has a large number of its own surrogate mares and is well equipped with, among other things, stabling options for guest mares. The company is located on the A58, near the Bavel exit (1 km from the exit).

Until recently, Hengstenhouderij Van Olst kept the mares of its customers at its own company in Den Hout, but from now on these guest mares will be housed at Care4Mare in Molenschot.

The stallions of Van Olst Horses will remain in Den Hout and the semen will, as usual, be sent from Den Hout.

Dier-N-artsen (Oosteind), led by Drs. Rijk-Jan Pleijter has been the attending  vet practice at Hengstenhouderij Van Olst for many years. In addition to regular mare guidance, they are highly experienced and specialized in embryo transplantation and other modern reproductive techniques. Dier-N-artsen will take care of the entire mare supervision at Care4Mare and may expand with the possibilities that the new collaboration offers.

New auction horses online

The new collection of auction horses is now online and can be viewed at www.vanolstsales.online. A group of interesting young geldings who are all at the beginning of their dressage career. All horses are still untrained, but have already been handled. If you want more information about these horses, please contact the organization via info@vanolstsales.online.

Studbook inspection Den Hout

Yesterday a studbook inspection took place at Van Olst Horses in Den Hout, where 13 horses were presented, of which 10 became stars. Among these horses there were also offspring of the stallion Inclusive (s. Everdale x Uptown, breeder fam Enting from Grolloo). Since many of these horses have a dam line with too few predicates and / or sport, it was not worth the investment to prepare them for the stallion inspection.

Six of these geldings were presented where 5 of them received ‘ster’, whereby the horse that did not become a ‘ster’ managed to achieve 80 points for the movement. Since a ‘ster’ ‘statement’ is the same as an invitation to the 2nd round of the stallionshow, 5 horses would appear in the second round viewing.
