Last weekend the 17-year old Sophie Taylor and the 7-year old gelding Jerrydale (Everdale x Havidoff, breeder I.M.C. Schel-Schippers) competed at ValeView Premier League. The combination won the Prix St. Georges with an amazing score of 71.43%. They also won the Young Riders class with 69.12%.
”Super proud of Jerry after our few days at ValeView Premier League winning the 7YO PSG with 71.43% and then going on to win the Young Rider section with 69.12%. There’s still lots to work on but I’m really pleased with how we are both progressing at a new level.”
Hergen van Hall and the 8-year old ‘In time’ (Everdale x Goodtimes, breeder H.G.G.M. van Enckevort) scored 67.426% in the Prix St. Georges.
Two years ago, van Hall started training the Everdale son. ”He’s a powerhouse with an amazing canter. He’s an impressive horse, and fits me well because we are both big. His flying changes are very good. Because he is so big, he lacks some strength but he is getting more stable now. He scored high on the half passes and flying changes. The judges described him as a talented and promising horse for the future.”
Again a succesful Everdale offspring competing at Small Tour level.
