Last weekend Patrick van der Meer and Idefix managed to win the ZZ-zwaar class at Charon Paardensport in Den Hoorn. Idefix is a descendant of Chippendale. He’s bred by Jacatra B.V. The combination showed a lot of potential and scored no less than 73%!
The 4-year old NRPS licensed stallion Guinnes (Glamourdale x Johnson x Haarlem) became the best seller of the 2021 Van Olst Sales of ridden horses. This very striking black stallion was sold to Marc Geerts’ jumper brood farm Tommelberg in Loenhout, who recently started investing in dressage horses. He is now the new owner for no less than €130,000.
We knew upfront that there was a lot of interest in Guinness and Noire NA. Noire NA, by Painted Black, managed to keep the bidding going the longest and was sold for €90.000,-. Jack, the first horse in the auction was not sold, just as the stallions Depay and Irvin who will also stay in Den Hout. Mabel by Dettori will go to an English stable and Mistral by Fiamingho will leave for Canada. The other horses have been sold to England and to Dutch riders.
Less than 48 hours to go before the Van Olst Sales Online Ridden Horses 2021 starts!
Many horses have already been viewed and tested under the saddle. This is still possible until the auction ends. Please contact Van Olst Horses by emailing info@vanolstsales.online or calling +31 162 429360.

Last Saturday the VWF Prinsenstad took place in Delft. Kim Noordijk rode the test for three-year-old dressage horses here with No Nonsense D. This horse is a descendant of Glamourdale x Olivi. He’s bred by P. Damen. No Nonsense D is owned by Witte-Scholtens and MT-stables.
Kim describes No Nonsense as ‘a great horse to ride with a top attitude’. The combination received beautiful marks including a 9 for trot and elasticity and an 8.7 for canter and carriage. A promise for the future!
With 83.5 points, Narzar (Glamourdale out of Zarzar elite IBOP-dres pref PROK by Jazz, breeder W. Smid of Nuis) owned by J. Hooge of Ees achieved the highest score of the day. This three-year-old scored 8s and 8.5s and became an instant elite mare thanks to the IBOP. “This mare stood out with three good basic gaits and a beautiful silhouette. She walks well, trots with impulsion, suppleness, good posture and a nice foreleg technique. In canter she has a lot of power, space and attitude. In addition, the image is always uphill and moves with good behavior. She is also a pleasure to ride,” says Bart Henstra.

Last weekend Anouk Ivits competed her mare Iris at the Subtop competition in Schijndel. The combination won the Small Tour class with 68.80%. They also won the Inter I with a nice 69.338%!
The mare Iris is bred by Gertjan van Olst, and comes from an interesting dam line. Iris descends from the successful combination Lord Leatherdale x Negro.

Elegance was successful at the Tokyo Olympics and is ridden by Beatriz Ferrer-Salat.

9 more days, and then the Van Olst Sales 2021 online auction of ridden horses will start!
A beautiful collection including 18 high-quality, modern young dressage horses, descending from Van Olst stallions and carefully trained by team Van Olst Horses.
The auction will start on October 29, 2021 at 12:00 PM and closes on November 1, 2021 at 8:00 PM.
The collection includes 3-year-old young ridden horses, 4- and 5-year-olds under saddle and a 7-year-old trained at Prix St Georges level with talent for piaffe and passage. In this collection there is a high-quality dressage horse for everyone’s wishes.
We highlight some horses for you:
The oldest horse in this auction is Negro’s son Jack. As with many descendants of Negro, the real talents emerge during the collected work. This 7 year old gelding has no problem with the highest form of collection. The passage is like a clock and the piaffe is also present in good quality.
Jack’s dam herself competed at Z1 level and she is also the dam of Jack’s full brother, Esplendido AZ, who competes at Small Tour level.
Guinness is an NRPS approved stallion who descends from the World Champion Glamourdale. Glamourdale is very successful in the international Grand Prix and his future looks exciting. Grandsire Johnson also competed at the highest level with Hans Peter Minderhoud.
Guinness seems to be a promising talent under the saddle, the start of the collection has been made and this looks very promising!
In 2021 Guinness qualified for the semi-finals of the Pavo Cup with a 9 for the trot and an 8.5 for the canter.
Noire’s pedigree combines Painted Black with the mare Izzy Lady NA who descends from the very successful combination Lord Leatherdale and Negro. We also see this combination in the Olympic stallion Everdale, World Champion Glamourdale and the Grand Prix stallion Chippendale. The Negro daughter Milady, the great-granddam of Noire NA, is a full sister of the Grand Prix dressage horse Bailey, who is very successful under the saddle of Maxime van der Vlist.
