Everdale-son Kenndale (mother Amerette elite EPTM-dres D-OC by Special D, bred by W.G.M. van Driel) was the best gelding in the Pavo Cup final for 6-years old. Together with his rider Nora van Houtem they rode a super test!

Kenndale already has many successes to his name, even though he is only 6 years old. For example he won the NAF Dressage Talent Berlicum twice. He also finished third in the final of the Subli Cup at Jumping Amsterdam in 2020.

Nice performance of Lantanas and Klaproos in the final of the Pavo Cup

Yesterday the final of the Pavo Cup took place in Ermelo. Charlotte Fry competed here with the stallion Lantanas in the 5 year old class and with the mare Klaproos in the 6 year old class.

Lantanas (Sir Donnerhall x Hemmingway, breeder: S.A.C. Kleuskens) showed himself very well. We were very pleased with his performance!

Klaproos (Glamourdale x Ampère, breeder: CHR. M. Snepvangers) also did a super job and scored high points for her trot and canter. A misunderstanding about the changes unfortunately reduced the score, but we have high expectations for this mare!

At the first foal inspection in Belgium, the Glamourdale x Don Schufro son Riverdale NA, bred by H.A. Abels from Rillaar was crowned champion. The jury comment was: “A more than sufficiently developed foal with an appealing model. He trots with a lot of allure and leg technique and naturally shows a lot of posture. He strarts the same every time. We are delighted to invite this foal to the National Foal Inspection in Ermelo.”

Rosanieta MCB

The appealing champion of the second Belgian foal selection is Kjento daughter Rosanieta MCB (out of Harry’s Girl by Lord of Loxley). “This is a foal with a beautiful appearance, front and a strong topline”, explains Floor Dröge. In movement we see a very good techique in this foal, every stride is the same and she is very nice. In canter she has a lot of balance and good scope. In addition, this foal has a good walk.”

The reserve champion of the Belgian foal inspection is also a filly: Risamante MCB (Glamourdale out of Isamante elite D-OC v. Wynton). “This is a well-developed, long-lined foal with a lot of appearance. When this foal starts to move, we see a lot of posture, a lot of flexibility and good leg technique. She shows that she can collect very well in both trot and canter.”

Red Heat

Flevoland’s foal champion is by Kjento bred out of an Uphill dam by Teun Hassink. Together with his granddaughter he decided to go to the inspection and for good reason! “A very appealing foal with a well-muscled forequarters and a nice posture. He steps vigorously. In the trot, the impulsion and the power are very positive. He also gallops with a fine impulsion and a lot of jump”.

At the very busy Central Inspection of North Brabant, the Kjento son R-Valentin (out of the NMK champion Terlia keur IBOP-dres pref by Krack C, breeder I.P.S.

In Zeeland, the Kjento son Racoon (out of Luna elite EPTM-dr PROK D-OC by Governor) was immediately the most striking foal.

Everdale first KWPN approved stallion after 21 years who wins an Olympic medal

It was in 1996 that the KWPN approved stallion Weyden, under Sven Rothenberger, won two bronze medals during the Olympic Games in Atlanta. Then it was the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney where the KWPN stallion Ferro under the saddle of Coby van Baalen won a silver team medal.

Now, 21 years later, it is the KWPN approved stallion Everdale (by Lord Leatherdale x Negro, breeder P. Kluitmans from Tilburg) who won a great bronze team medal ridden by the 25-year-old English rider Charlotte Fry during the Olympic Games in Tokyo.
Owner Van Olst Horses is proud of the achievements of Everdale and Charlotte Fry. Everdale lived up to his expectations in Tokyo. He was the “performance topper” as a three-year-old and won the Pavo Cup as a four-year-old.

Van Olst Horses is also proud of its stallions Lord Leatherdale and the preferent Negro. The Everdale Olympic medal is the ultimate confirmation of the breeding philosophy and is an exceptional stimulus and a source of inspiration to continue the chosen path.

But Van Olst Horses had even more beautiful moments during “Tokyo 2020”.
The own breeding product Elegance (by Negro x Reina by Monaco breeder Van Olst Horses) performed very well under Beatriz Ferrer Salat.
Fendi T (by Negro x Sursela by Lester, breeder W. Timmers from Volkel), owned by Van Olst Horses, also performed well under Severo Jurado Lopez. Both Fendi T and Elegance were in the Spanish team that finished in 7th place.
We also enjoyed Bufranco in Tokyo (by Negro x Franka by Zewind, breeder fam Kroot from Haghorst). Bufranco was sold by Van Olst Horses to the Danish Charlotte Heering as a 5-year-old. This combination showed super form in Tokyo and was the traveling reserve of the Danish team.

Great influence of keur stallion Animo in top individual ranking Tokyo 2020

The influence of the keur stallion Animo s. Almé in the top of the individual standings during the Olympic Games in Tokyo 2020 is significant.

Animo was discovered as a young horse by Van Olst Horses and subsequently approved by the KWPN. He has been at stud in Den Hout for most of his career.

Animo himself jumped as one of the first KWPN stallions (after Olympic Treffer) at the Olympic Games, this was for Animo in Barcelona in 1992.

Through his sons Andiamo and Animo’s Hallo, who were both at stud in Den Hout, his influence in the individual standings of Tokyo is great. The silver medal winner H & M All Inn, ridden by Peter Fredricson, comes out of the Andiamo mare Fortune. The bronze medal winner Beauville, ridden by Maikel van der Vleuten, comes out of the Andiamo grandmother Pinxter. The fifth-placed H&M Indiana, ridden by Malin Baryard Johnsson, comes out of the Animo’s Hallo daughter Halifax.
