World Championship for Young Dressage Horses 2023

Last weekend Nalegro and Everest were allowed to go to the World Championships for young dressage horses in Ermelo. This prestigious event was once again organized in Ermelo and the creme de la creme of the young dressage horses was present here.
In the first round, Nalegro was the first of these two five-year-olds to start. Nalegro, ridden by Lottie and bred by the Hanse family from Burgh Haamstede and Van Olst Horses, had a good solid test in which unfortunately some tension was involved in the canter. With 8.26 points they eventually finished in twelfth place, which was good for direct placement in the final.
Everest was the next horses and ridden by Phoebe Peters. Everest was bred by Van Olst Horses out of Fresia s. Negro and his father is the gray Especial who made an incredibly good international debut in the CDI Tour in Ermelo. For Phoebe Peters it was her debut in international sport after she became European champion with the ponies. Everest showed himself with a lot of energy, showed his good qualities and impressed the jury. His point total was 8.02, which meant a 15th place and unfortunately not directly through to the final.
For the combinations that were not directly through to the final, a consolation final was scheduled on Friday, with the best three combinations going through to the final on Saturday. In ring 2, Everest and Phoebe once again showed their skills in this consolation final. Again he showed his good qualities but unfortunately he also had two small moments where his energy took over. Nevertheless, a very good test by this young stallion who was rewarded with 78.2%.

On Saturday it was Nalegro’s turn for the final of the five-year-olds. He seemed more at ease than on the first round and the quality oozed from it! With his characteristic powerful hind leg, he again showed that he had a lot of talent for heavy work. A score of 79.6% was the result.

most expensive foal by Glamourdale in Westphalen

While Glamourdale won the Grand Prix Special in Peelbergen in the pouring rain, an auction was held in Westphalia in which his son Glamor Star was auctioned first.
The son of world champion Glamourdale is none other than the full brother of the price topper at last year’s Westphalian OnLive auction. Exactly one year ago, Glamorous delighted the audience in Münster-Handorf. Her brother is in no way inferior to her in type and quality. Both were bred by Stoeterij Schultenhof, Norden-Norddeich, out of Verb.Pr.St. Callista v. San Amour I. Glamor Star was turned down for the top prize of 67,000 euros and is now in the hands of Stoeterij Neuenhof.

Availability Glamourdale

In preparation for the upcoming European Dressage Championships, which will be held in Riesenbeck from September 5 to 10, the stallion Glamourdale will no longer be available through fresh semen from August 7. Of course frozen semen is available and the other stallions will remain available until the end of the breeding season.

Grand Prix Special win in pouring rain!

Glamourdale and Lottie were the last combination to enter the ring for the Grand Prix Special in Kronenberg on Saturday. There were showers all day long, but when the penultimate combination entered the ring it started to rain a little harder. The moment Lottie was allowed to start her test, the gates of heaven were opened and this continued throughout the entire test. But unperturbed, the duo showed an amazing test in which again several 10’s could be given by the judges. With a score of 81.085% they managed to win the class.

Glamourdale wins in Kronenberg

Charlotte Fry and Glamourdale will compete in the Grand Prix at the CDI in Kronenberg this weekend. The reigning World Champions won the Grand Prix convincingly with 79.544%. There were still some minor flaws in Fry and Glamourdale’s test, but he seems to be in great shape.
On Saturday, Glamourdale will make an appearance in the Grand Prix Special.

Kingsland new sponsor

From July 1, Kingsland is the new sponsor of Van Olst Horses and Charlotte Fry. For the next 2 years, Kingsland will provide the clothing for Lottie and the entire Van Olst Horses team.
“I love Kingsland Equestrian clothing so I am thrilled about this great partnership, especially in the run-up to Paris next year,” says Lottie.

Influenced by her Olympian mother, the late Laura Fry, Lottie’s equestrian journey began at the age of three. Later in life, she regularly devoted her post-school hours to riding 2-3 horses and competing at international pony shows.

When she turned 17, Lottie moved to the Netherlands to work at van Olst Horses and train under the expert guidance of former Olympic rider Anne van Olst. Since then, her career has soared to new heights. After her stunning victory at the FEI World Championships 2022 in Herning, Denmark, she proudly claimed the title of Dressage World Champion.

Reflecting on the collaboration, Kingsland’s CEO, Lars Beck, says, “As Kingsland teams up with Lottie and van OlstHorses, our shared passion for sport becomes the driving force. And together, we are eager to foster positive change in equestrian fashion.”

Studbook inspection Den Hout: 85/85 for Kjento daughter Peru Dos

At the studbook inspection today in Den Hout, 26 dressage horses were presented. Of these, 23 became ster, including six with at least 80/80. Top scorer was the by Gerard de Bruyn bred Peru Dos (Kjento x Krack C) of Gertjan and Anne van Olst.

 

With an upper beam of 85/85, Peru Dos (Kjento out of Cadanz A elite IBOP-dres by Krack C, breeder Gerard de Bruyn of Schelluinen) of Van Olst Horses was the best scoring mare of the day. For her trot she received 90 points.

“This is an athletically built, well in the rectangular model mare with lots of front, a strong topline and well-developed foundation. She strides with good body use, tact and space. In trot she has lots of power and power, a good leg technique, lots of balance and she can switch easily. In canter she shows a very nice silhouette, in which she goes uphill and can easily change,” says Bart Bax enthusiastically who judged the horses together with Floor Dröge.

 

Passiana

Three mares became star with 80/85. First, Passiana (Taminiau out of Gabriana V.O.D. ster PROK by Uphill) by breeder Joanneke van Os from Sprang-Capelle. “This mare has lots of charisma, a beautiful front with expressive head, a well-muscled neck in which she could still have a fraction more length, a good withers/shoulders and well-developed feet. She steps actively with good stride, she trots light-footed with a good use of the hind leg and in this she needs little speed to balance well.

 

Pearl B

With the same upper beam, the Jayson daughter Pearl B (out of Gwendolyn ster PROK by Lord Leatherdale, breeder A.J. Bakker of Alkmaar) of Van Olst Horses won ster. “This is a sufficiently developed, well-set in the rectangular model mare with an expressive head, good neck shape and strong topline. In her feet this 1.63m mare could have a little more development. She steps actively, spacious, with power and body use. She trots light-footed, with good impulsion and switchability. In canter she has a lot of jump and power, where for even higher marks she could show a little more flexion in the hind leg.”

 

Passie Bloem

Gertjan van Olst also did good business with the 80/85-scoring, homebred Passiebloem (Lantanas out of Fresia ster PROK by Negro). “An ample, long-lined mare who is upwardly built and has a lot of charisma. She has a well-muscled neck and strong topline. Her walk is tactful and active, where she could show a little more body use. In her light-footed trot she has good suppleness, posture and leg technique. In canter her looseness stands out, she brings her hind leg well under the mass and stays well closed.”

 

Pegasus

Van Olst’s Pegasus (Glamourdale by Kalua elite IBOP-dres PROK by Negro, breeder Piet van de Brandt of Volkel) also walked to the ster predicate with 85 points, she additionally received 75 points for conformation. “This sufficiently developed mare stands well in the rectangular model and has a slightly heavy head/neck connection. Her neck is of good shape and muscling, in her topline she could be a bit stronger, her foundation is more than sufficiently correct. She appreciates herself positively in trot and canter: she trots with a lot of leg technique, space, balance and a good undergoing hind leg. For her canter they could give her 90 points, in that she has a lot of power and balance, she can switch and change easily, and continues to canter very well on the hind leg and in posture. Her walk is active but in that she could show more looseness and space.”

 

Good Kjento’s

Ster with 80/80 were Perica (Kjento by Dulcia ster by Krack C, breeder M. Streppel from Lemelerveld) of Van Olst Horses and the gelding Power (Kjento by Uzella elite PROK by Gribaldi, breeder P.G.H. van Loon from Galder) of Van Olst Horses, with whom their sire showed his calling card.

 

Perica
“Perica is an amply developed and ditto long-lined mare with a nice front, strong topline and good croup. Her foundation is hard and correct. In walk she is diligent, has good reach and body use. In trot she is light-footed and moves with suppleness, good reach and leg technique. In canter she has good scope and jump, in that she could hold her balance a little better in the turns.”

Power
“The three-year-old gelding Power is generously developed, stands well in the rectangular model, has a nice topline and well-developed foundation. He strides with power, tact and body use. In trot he has good posture and moves uphill nicely from the hind leg, where he could have a little more shoulder freedom. Also in canter we see his good posture and balance, he needs little speed in it.”

Star predicate
Also competing were Perla Marrone V (Kjento out of Betwina ster PROK by Johnson) by breeders I.C.N. and I. Veeke from Standdaarbuiten (75/80), Passadena (Negro out of Evalira elite EPTM-dres D-OC by Jazz, breeder A. van den Broek from Boekel) by Van Olst Horses (75/80), Petra (Jayson out of Cairo prest PROK by Samarant, breeder R.

Qualifier World Championship Young Dressage Horses

On Tuesday 5 July, the last selection was ridden for the World Championships for young dressage horses, which will be held in Ermelo this year.

Van Olst Horses had three “irons in the fire” in the five-year-old class:
Everest, Especial x Negro, bred by Van Olst Hores and ridden by Phoebe Peters,
Nalegro, Painted Black x Negro, bred by the Hanse family from Burgh-Haamstede and Van Olst Horses and ridden by Charlotte Fry,
Nacho, Negro x Krack C, breeder S. Maakenschijn from Chaam and ridden by Charlotte Fry.

All three horses showed themselves as expected and then it’s a matter of waiting to see what the selection committee would decide…

Both Everest and Nalegro have been selected to participate in the World Championship and Nacho is reserve! Very proud that two self-bred horses under two different riders have been selected to participate in this event!
