source: KWPN
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.

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!

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.”

Yesterday, October 2nd, the 2025/26 performance test began with the first saddle evaluation. Zandra Birkenland presented three stallions that had been accepted at the stallion inspection in March. She also presented N’Spartacus, bred by H. Verthriest, who had not been presented before. This stallion was also accepted by the committee and has thus been included in this performance test. Of the stallions selected at the regular stallion inspection or another event and expected in the ring today, these three Van Olst stallions successfully presented themselves to the committee:
– Glammadoo (Glamourdale x Cum Laude, bred by H. Verthriest, Deinze, BE)
– Kyro (Kjento x Trento B, bred by Gloudemans, Nuland)
– Krishano (Kjento x Rousseau, bred by Bakker, Dalen) (Photo)
