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.”

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.

Everdale and Lottie just rode the rest of there live in the freestyle in Aachen. With a personal best of 87.515%, the black tyrant showed to be in the prime of his life. Where he scored 85% at the first outdoor competition in Compiegne in May of this year, a good 2% could be added just 7 weeks later! With a fourth place in this very strong field, this was a top conclusion of 4 days of dressage sport in the always amazing Aachen!

After Lottie was already present in Aachen this weekend for the opening ceremony, she is now there to participate in the competition.
Lars van de Hoenderheide, s. Negro is participating in the 4* competition that is organized next to the 5* competition. And in Aachen only the world’s best horses take part and the starting list of the 4* Grand Prix is filled with big names and well-known horses.

In this Grand Prix Lottie rode the chestnut gelding to a good 75% which was good for a second place!

For the horses in the 5* class in Compiegne, the Grand Prix Special and the Kur to music were ridden on Sunday. Lottie chose to ride Everdale in the Kur to music.

Everdale, Lord Leatherdale x Negro bred by Piet Kluytmans from Tilburg, was in good shape and showed why he belongs to the top of the world. He trots with great technique and scope, piaffes like clockwork, his passage is high off the ground with power and impulsion. The canter is incredibly uphill and the pirouettes turned on a dime, in short, everything a top dressage horse needs. The score in the freestyle came to 85.675%, which was again an improvement on his personal best!

Looking back on three days of sport in Compiegne, we cannot be more than pleased with the form of these three horses: Lars who scores a PB in both the Grand Prix and the Freestyle to music, Jackson who proves to be a real future horse for Lottie and also gets a PB in the Prix st. Georges and then of course Everdale who is still getting more powerful and more consistent and also scored a PB in the freestyle to music.
