Care4Mare, Dier-N-artsen and Van Olst Horses have started a partnership that will take effect immediately.

The home base for this joint collaboration is the Care4Mare company based in Molenschot (Noord Brabant). This company specializes in the care and gynecological support of mares. Care4Mare has a large number of its own surrogate mares and is well equipped with, among other things, stabling options for guest mares. The company is located on the A58, near the Bavel exit (1 km from the exit).

Until recently, Hengstenhouderij Van Olst kept the mares of its customers at its own company in Den Hout, but from now on these guest mares will be housed at Care4Mare in Molenschot.

The stallions of Van Olst Horses will remain in Den Hout and the semen will, as usual, be sent from Den Hout.

Dier-N-artsen (Oosteind), led by Drs. Rijk-Jan Pleijter has been the attending  vet practice at Hengstenhouderij Van Olst for many years. In addition to regular mare guidance, they are highly experienced and specialized in embryo transplantation and other modern reproductive techniques. Dier-N-artsen will take care of the entire mare supervision at Care4Mare and may expand with the possibilities that the new collaboration offers.

Yesterday a studbook inspection took place at Van Olst Horses in Den Hout, where 13 horses were presented, of which 10 became stars. Among these horses there were also offspring of the stallion Inclusive (s. Everdale x Uptown, breeder fam Enting from Grolloo). Since many of these horses have a dam line with too few predicates and / or sport, it was not worth the investment to prepare them for the stallion inspection.

Six of these geldings were presented where 5 of them received ‘ster’, whereby the horse that did not become a ‘ster’ managed to achieve 80 points for the movement. Since a ‘ster’ ‘statement’ is the same as an invitation to the 2^nd round of the stallionshow, 5 horses would appear in the second round viewing.

The black eye-catcher and Champion stallion Glamourdale is nominated for “KWPN horse of the year”!

Already at the stallion inspection in ‘s Hertogenbosch he managed to impress with his imposing model and great movements. In the final championship inspection, he was awarded the championship title supported by the enthusiastic public. The talents of the stallion were also well reflected under the saddle. He concluded his performance test with a top score and as a 5-year-old he managed to achieve a 10th place at the World Championships for Young Dressage Horses.

As a 7 year old he could again participate in this World Championship where he became the undoubted World Champion. Following this, as an 8 year old, a historic victory was achieved in the Mecca of equestrian sports: Aachen. Winning the Prix st. Georges with the first 10’s and no less than 6% apart from the number 2, the Intermediate I was also won with a huge score of more than 80%, a unique achievement in the history of this prestigious event.

That Glamourdale does not have any problems with the highest collection and the most difficult lectures became evident in 2020. As a 9 (!) Year old, he made his debut in the Intermediate II with a great 74%. In August of this year, the Grand Prix debut was also won with a score of almost 78%.

The expectations for his international debut are high, but given the developments he shows at home in the training, we look forward to this with great confidence!
