Will Kjento follow into the steps of Glamourdale, KWPN Horse of the Year 2020?

This year again, three dressage horses have been nominated for the title of KWPN Horse of the Year. Kjento owes his nomination to his fantastic performance at the World Championships for young dressage horses in Verden last summer, where he became world champion in the six-year-olds class, together with Charlotte Fry. Kjento is a descendant of Negro x Jazz, and bred by A.J. van Os.

Evegro sold to Lotje Schoots

/in , /by

Recently Lotje Schoots bought the black stallion Evegro.

Evegro is a 7-year-old stallion who was approved as a three-year-old by the NRPS and later that year was also approved in Finland. As a 5 year old he returned to Van Olst Horses, after which he was trained by Charlotte Fry.

Evegro’s sire is the Olympic stallion Everdale. His mother, Fresia, is a daughter of the well-known Negro bred out of the Monaco mare Reina. Fresia is not only the dam of this Evegro, but also the dam of the NRPS approved Irvin s. Inspire and also the NRPS approved Everest s. Especial. Everest recently won the KWPN Young Dressage Talents competition for three-year-olds at indoor Oosteind with a 10 for his canter. This striking gray also received a 10 from the guest jury.

But this is not all that comes from this direct dam line: Granddam Reina is also the dam of the Olympic dressage horse Elegance s. Negro ridden by Beatriz Ferer Salat, who are a members of the Spanish dressage team.

We congratulate Lotje with Evegro and wish them a lot of success in the future!

In 2016, under the saddle of José van Haaren, she scored 80.5 points at the IBOP in Asten. After that the mare has been sold to America.
