HC IJsselmuiden: Pjethro Continues Success in M-Class
Charlotte Fry and Pjethro won the first Anemone Horse Trucks Stallion Dressage Competition in Kronenberg. The son of Kjento also won the IJsselmuiden competition on Saturday with 89.6 points.
As first starters in the M-class, Charlotte Fry and Pjethro (Kjento out of Jaomie elite IBOP-dres D-OC by Desperado, breeder: A.J. Beerens of De Moer) immediately set the tone. Pjethro performed well under Fry and received high praise from the judges.
Judges Hans Peter Minderhoud, Patrick Berends, and Brecht D’Hoore awarded a good test with a 9.5 for trot and submission. “This horse showed a very fine performance with a beautiful active expression,” explained Brecht D’Hoore. He maintained his length throughout the test in a beautiful frame. His walk is well-active and decisive. In trot, this stallion has excellent technique, a lot of stamina, and excellent transitional ability. He also performed the exercises with great ease. In canter, we saw excellent balance and good activity.
Stablemate Powerdale (Glamourdale out of Dancing Girl Ster, Prestatie by Johnson, breeder: F. Hoogenboom, Lemelerveld) finished just off the podium in a respectable 4th place, earning an 8.8 for harony and a highlight of a 9 for his trot.

HC IJsselmuiden: Real Dream canters to victory

The top three of the Anemone Horsetrucks Stallion Competition Dressage Class L on Saturday in IJsselmuiden were the same as in Kronenberg. Real Dream had already made a great impression under Charlotte Fry at the KWPN Stallion Show earlier this year during the presentation of the new crop. Under Fry, Real Dream, son of Dynamic Dream, once again won on Saturday evening with 90.4 points.
Real Dream’s test (Dynamic Dream out of Fivanny ster PROK by Negro, breeder: Maatschap Pleyter from Zalk and H.A. van Triest from Elburg) was full of highlights, with the stallion scoring a 9.5 for canter and a 9.2 for submission. “A very nice test from a horse that is perfectly in contact and does his work very well,” summarized Brecht D’Hoore on behalf of the judging panel, which also included Hans Peter Minderhoud and Patrick Berends. “The walk is very tactile with plenty of scope. In trot, he has good technique. The canter is a highlight; it has a lot of spring and is already very carried for a 4.5-year-old.”

Charlotte Fry still has a strong iron in the fire. She scored 90 points in the saddle of Kjento son Renzo (out of Aronia elite pref prest IBOP-dres PROK by Rousseau, breeder: C.M.E. Reijrink of Diessen), good for second place. “With this horse, the walk was a highlight. It’s very pure with excellent use of the body. It’s striking that he walks very well immediately after a transition. The trot has a lot of suppleness and excellent transition. In canter, we saw a very nice, uphill movement with excellent transition.”

The star of day 3 at the stallion inspection was Ti Sento, Cat. No. 420 (Kjento x Kraxk C x Monaco x Glendale, bred by: Hanneke and Stan Wouters from Chaam, owner: Van Baalen Horses). A dream stallion with tremendous carriage at the trot, exceptional adaptability, and commanding attention both on the street and in the arena. This son of Kjento received hearty applause from the audience and was by far one of the most striking horses of the day.

This stallion was sold at the Van Olst Online Foal Auction in 2023. We wish Van Baalen Horses the best of luck in the process with this incredible stallion.

Sondale (by Glamourdale) approved for KWPN breeding

The three-year-old Sondale (V. GLAMOURDALE KEUR V. LORD LEATHERDALE M. FENNE DP STB STER, PROK, PROVISIONALLY KEUR V. VIVALDI PREF M. NO LIMIT RP STB KEUR MV. HOUSTON KEUR — KAISERSTERN XX BREEDER: A. VAN DEN BROEK, BOEKEL GER.: VAN OLST HORSES, TERHEIJDENSSPOOR 9, 4911 BW DEN HOUT) stood out with his good workability, attitude and balance.

Exterior: Sondale is a stallion with good proportions in his body, he stands in a good rectangular model. The neck is well-formed and muscular, the head-neck connection is light. The shoulder is long and sloping, the withers extend well into the back. The back and loins are well-muscled and connected. The croup is slightly straight and of good length. The foreleg is correctly positioned. The hooves are well-formed and of good quality with appropriate heels.
Pedigree: Sire de Keur stallion Glamourdale became champion at the KWPN Stallion Show as a three-year-old, won his first world title in the seven-year-old class and won gold twice at the WEG in Herning. At the Paris Olympics, this powerful stallion took two bronze medals, and is also making impressive progress in breeding. Several offspring from his first crop have already broken through at the highest level, such as Kuvasz RS2 N.O.P., Kashmir, and Karldyr MB. This Glamourdale son, Sondale, is bred out of a full sister of Diane Rose’s Intermediaire II dressage horse Coco. As the dam’s sire, Grand Prix horse producer Vivaldi contributes his genes. He has made his mark in breeding thanks to offspring competing at the highest level, such as Dream Boy, Desperado, Expression, and Cennin. Through the progenitor Houston, this Dutch dam line, in its third generation, goes back to the half-bred mare Eva, who also founded the international Grand Prix horses Ferero (by Ferro) ridden by Chantal Wigan and Ferrari (by Apache) ridden by Jeanine Nekeman.

Examination report: Sondale is a balanced and likeable stallion. He has a keenness to work and is well-focused on the rider. His walk is a good four-beat with good body use and plenty of scope. The trot demonstrates balance and leg technique, while the hind leg remains sufficiently understep. The canter is balanced and scopey. The hind leg carries, creating a beautiful silhouette. Sondale uses his body and demonstrates adaptability. He gives the rider a good feeling and has developed positively in self-carriage during the examination.

Stable behavior: Honest, reliable stallion, easy to handle, and calm in the stable.

Veterinary report: No abnormalities noted. Semen analysis: Expected fertility class: good.

Breeding/mating advice: Sondale can improve the topline and connections in the body, and add lightness to dressage horse breeding.

Last year in the Stallion Competition with Zandra and last summer in the Pavo Cup, Charlotte Fry and Pjethro had to settle for the reserve title. Today, the son of Kjento delivered the first blow in the first competition round of the Anemone Horse Trucks Stallion Competition Dressage. With 89.8 points, he won the M-class.
As the first starter in the M-class in the first competition round of the Anemone Horse Trucks Stallion Competition in Kronenberg, Pjethro (Kjento out of Jaomie elite IBOP-dres D-OC by Desperado, breeder: A.J. Beerens of De Moer) achieved a score that no one could match. Ridden by Charlotte Fry, the chestnut stallion scored 9.2 for canter and overall impression. “This is a very sturdy, functional horse with excellent technique,” says Domien Michiels, who judges this competition together with Janine van Twist and Brecht D’Hoore. “At the walk, Pjethro is very active and spacious. When picking up the reins, this stallion maintained a very pure stride. At the trot, he has excellent technique, impulsion, and natural balance. His neck extension was remarkably good, and he followed the hand beautifully. The canter has excellent self-carriage, is very functional, and has excellent carriage. In the transitions, he maintained beautiful carriage on the hind leg.”
The generous Glamourdale son, Powerdale (by GLAMOURDALE KEUR by LORD LEATHERDALE M. DANCING GIRL DP STB STER, PREST MV. JOHNSON PREF M. ROSEN-DAME RP STB STER, PROK MMV. ROHDIAMANT ERK – WELTMEYER) showed excellent development compared to last year. Presented very harmoniously by Charlotte Fry, he finished in 5th place with almost 81 points.

HC Kronenberg: Real Dream leads the new season with top score

The four-year-old stallions did not disappoint, with Real Dream even achieving the highest score of the day. Ridden by Charlotte Fry, this Dynamic Dream son received 92.8 points, including a 9.8 for his excellent canter.

The newest crop delivered an interesting round to conclude the first competition of the Anemone Horse Trucks Stallion Competition. Real Dream (Dynamic Dream out of Fivanny ster PROK by Negro, breeder: Maatschap Pleyter from Zalk and H.A. van Triest from Elburg), a grandson of the renowned Dolly, performed very well as the last starter. Ridden by Charlotte Fry, he took the lead. “A very beautiful, appealing horse that was presented with great harmony,” enthused Domien Michiels, also on behalf of Brecht D’Hoore and Janine van Twist. “This horse had a beautiful connection, moving nicely uphill and towards the hand. The walk is very functional and active. In trot, the performance was very natural, well-supported and consistent. The highlight was the canter, with excellent balance, good technique, and a hind leg that consistently followed the lead. The canter is very natural, uphill, and with beautiful transitions. He always remained well-supported, with his nose towards the hand.”

A good walker, Renzo
Real Dream faced competition from stablemate Renzo (Kjento out of Aronia elite pref prest IBOP-dres PROK by Rousseau, breeder: C.M.E. Reijrink of Diessen). This stallion, presented by Zandra Birkeland, came close with 92.4 points. He received a 9.5 for his high-quality walk. This is a powerful horse presented in a natural, harmonious manner. The walk flows beautifully through the body, with plenty of overreach and activity. He maintained a beautiful length to the hand and was always true to rhythm from the very first stride. The trot is natural and light-footed with plenty of suppleness and verve. He also carries himself beautifully, and we saw good balance in the yielding. The canter is very light-footed and consistent.

Fry on a roll in Oosteind

Last Friday, Indoor Oosteind 2025 officially kicked off. A fantastic competition that guarantees beautiful sport in a beautifully decorated hall. Not only is it a treat for the riders, but visitors also enjoy the competition every year. Indoor Oosteind has been a household name for dressage and show jumping riders for years. The first weekend is traditionally dedicated to dressage, with one of the highlights being the sub-top evening on Friday. Charlotte Fry competed in the Prix St. Georges, Intermediaire I, and Grand Prix classes.
Fry brought Niksmismee VK with her for the first class. In the Prix St. Georges class, she scored an impressive 70.7%! This earned her first place. This was the first competition for the 7-year-old gelding by Everdale x Vivaldi (bred by H.C. Vervoorn-Knaap).
Lottie Fry also performed well in the Intermediate 1, with her black pearl Nalegro (by Painted Black x Negro, bred by J.L. Hanse, Burgh-Haamstede) she outperformed the competition and took home the victory.
As a fantastic finale, she also rode world champion Kjento to victory in the Grand Prix!

Charlotte Fry and Nalegro once again unbeatable.

On Tuesday, October 21st, Lottie and Nalegro (Painted Black out of Jalegrofleur ster pref PROK by Negro, breeder: Joop Hanse of Burgh-Haamstede) competed in Erp in the Prix St. Georges, organized by AMGB Horse Events.
This duo was already unbeatable last weekend, but yesterday they took it one step further. With a massive score of over 76%, they once again won the Small Tour class.

After the European Championships last August in Crozet, Charlotte Fry competed for the first time last Saturday. For her return, the Van Olst rider had brought two young stallions to the Subtop competition in Velddriel and was in a class of her own with both. With the seven-year-old Nalegro (Painted Black x Negro, breeder: J.L. Hanse, Burgh-Haamstede), she won the Prix St. Georges with 72.279%, and the just six-year-old O’Frederic (For Romance x Fidertanz, breeder: Heike Schulte, Eggermühlen) scored 70.786% in his Subtop debut in the ZZ-Zwaar class. Charlotte has already competed in several Small Tour competitions with two-time World Championship horse (five- and six-year-olds) Nalegro, the last of which was in May of this year. “That was a while ago, and after that, we continued training at home to hopefully improve,” says Fry, who is very happy with her test today. “He did very well, and we didn’t have any major mistakes. The changes and pirouettes were especially beautiful. Nalegro has become stronger and better at his work; I’m really happy with him.”
After the young horse competitions, O’Frederic performed his first test in regular competition today. And the six-year-old stallion did very well. “He’s still a baby, but he has such an incredible character,” Fry praises the stallion with whom she received the Perfect Pair Prize, a prize for the combination with the most harmonious presentation, at last year’s KWPN Stallion Show.
“The ZZ-Zwaar level are quite challenging tests, but it was great to be able to take him to the same competition as Nalego. O’Frederic is very eager to work and is so honest in the arena. He makes my job so easy,” Fry continues with a laugh. “We had a few mistakes, but that’s okay. He did very well, a truly promising horse for the future. O’Frederic doesn’t get hot and is sharp in a good way; he gives a very good feeling.”
For Fry, this competition marked her return after the European Championships last August in Crozet, France, where she and Glamourdale were part of the silver-winning British team. “It was great to be back in the arena, and both horses did very well. And it was great that the training at home paid off.”
