Beatriz Ferrer-Salat has won the Grand Prix (75.130%) and the Grand Prix Spécial (74.596%) on CDI Camarma de Esteruelas. The Spanish rider rode Elegance (Negro x Monaco), bred by Gertjan van Olst. It was only the third Grand Prix for the twelve-year-old KWPN horse at the CDI3 * on Spanish soil.

Elegance made its international debut at CDI3 * Granada in April 2019, winning the Grand Prix (69.413%) and second in the Spécial (70.872%). His rider then kept him at home until April this year. Two weeks ago there were really high scores on Horses & Dreams (68.022% in the GP and 70.565% in the GPS). In Camarma de Esteruelas there were two big personal records for the combination.

Special weekend lays behind us.

/in , /by

Last weekend was completely dominated by the international start of the competition season in Hagen am Teutoborger Wald. After all Covid restrictions and the outbreak of the Rhino virus, this was the first opportunity for many riders to compete. A CDI was organized on the impressive showgrounds of the Kasselmann family. In the corridors this was already called the “Olympic Games” in Hagen, given the names on the starting list.

Our stable rider Charlotte Fry took part in this competition with Everdale and Glamourdale.

Everdale was allowed to kick off in the Grand Prix, which was the qualification for the Kur. Because it was the first time after a long time, the routine might have missed a little bit, but almost flawlessly Lottie was able to lead the black pearl through the test. In the end there was a very deserved 73.804% on the scoreboard which ultimately resulted in a fifth place.

After this, it was time for Glamourdale to make his international debut in the Grand Prix that counted as qualification for the Special. This special also counts as a team competition during the Olympic Games and so the competition was fierce. In the second Grand Prix of his life, Glamourdale and Lottie managed to put down a super test. Highlights were of course the extended trot and the canter. But the duo also showed that all exercises with the highest degree of collection are no problem at all. Ultimately, this debut was judged with a score of 74.456%, which was good for a seventh place.

Saturday was the day of the special and the kur to music. First was the GP special on the program, where Glamourdale had to start early in the class. That this test might suit him even better than the regular test was evident from the score of 76.404% and a final fifth place. In short, a very successful performance of his very first Grand Prix Special!

Later that evening Everdale started his Freestyle. Under the atmospheric artificial light, Everdale was at its best and absolutely stood out! On the well-fitting music the duo showed one highlight after another, which ultimately resulted in a huge 81.770%, which also meant a new personal record for Everdale and Lottie.

Concours seizoen begint voor Everdale en Glamourdale in Hagen.

/in /by

Op dit moment wordt in Hagen bij de fam. Kasselmann het eerste grote internationale concours hippique georganiseerd van dit jaar. Voor vele ruiters en amazones de eerste kans om weer internationaal uit te komen en een mogelijkheid om zich in de picture te rijden voor de komende Olympische Spelen.

Zo ook voor onze stalamazone Charlotte Fry die is afgereisd met Everdale en met Glamourdale.

Everdale is al wat langer actief op dit niveau en mocht als eerste van de twee het spits afbijten in de Grand Prix die vervolgd wordt met de kür op muziek. Everdale liet zien goed in vorm te zijn, hij was fris en trok er goed aan. De routine die hij normaal wel in de baan heeft miste nog een klein beetje maar desalniettemin scoorden ze 73.804% en een mooie 5e plaats in dit sterke deelnemersveld.

 

 

Kjento and Lantanas now also approved for Hanover

/in , /by

Yesterday a special approval was organized for older stallions at the Hanoverian Studbook in Verden.

Kjento, s. Negro x Jazz bred by the van Os family from Sprang Capelle, who recently won the stallion presentation at the KWPN stallion inspection in Ermelo, was presented here by Charlotte Fry. Again this stallion impressed with his generous model and great movements.

Lantanas, the son of Sir Donnerhall out of a Hemmingway mother bred by S. Kleuskens from Horst, was also presented here by Lottie and showed that much can be expected of him for the future.

Both stallions are now approved for Hannover and are now also allowed to breed Hanoverian mares.

Watch a short video of Lantanas of this day here.

Kjento leading sire KWPN dressage foals.

/in /by

The KWPN announced the number of foals born in 2020. New in this list is the black eye-catcher Kjento, by Negro x Jazz, bred by the Van Os family from Sprang Capelle, who presented his first crop off foals this year. Kjento recently showed his Grand Prix talent during the KWPN Stallion show and won the class for five-year-olds with 90 points. This was also the highest score of all categories. Last year numerous of his foals were sold for record prices at numerous auctions.

The Grand Prix stallion Glamourdale, Lord Leatherdale x Negro bred by mr. J.W. Rodenburg from Kouderkerk a.d. IJssel, KWPN horse of the year 2020 and World Champion for 7-year-old dressage horses is 4th on this list.

The influence of Negro in the top 4 is big, because he is also in the pedigree of the number 3 in the list, Jameson RS2 v. Zack x Negro.

NRPS stallionshow 2021

/in /by

Last Thursday and Friday the NRPS stallion inspection took place in Ermelo. Off course Van Olst Horses was present here to present some stallions.

Among the show jumpers there was an invitation for the performance test for Arthur T Z, a son off Andiamo out of a mare by Q. Breitling LS. This stallion is bred and co-owned with Stoeterij Tommelberg from Loenhout, Belgium.

No less than 4 dressage stallions were accepted on Friday:

  • Nadal, Especial x Negro. Especial is a special son off Everdale who is currently 7 years old and classified at ZZ-licht level. Nadal was bred by Van Olst Horses out of the “Ster” mare Fresia who is also the mother of the NRPS approved Irvin s. Inspire and Evegro s. Everdale.
  • No Mercy AVO, s. Just Wimphof x Jazz, was bred by Jan and Ans van Oort from Volkel out of the same damm line as the famous stallion Ferdinand. This black eye-catcher stands out with its beautiful model.
  • Nacho, Negro x Krack C, was bred by S. Maakenschijn from Chaam and is a very striking young stallion. The comparison with Everdale is quickly made and this young stallion seems to have all the potential to become a very good sport horse in the future.
  • Nino d’Ór, Painted Black x Chippendale, is bred and owned by Berry van der Hoorn from Made. This brown son of Painted Black, who is also available at our station via frozen semen this year, was able to convince the judges and was given an invitation for the performance test.
