Painted Black hengst

Painted Black-daughter 82 points in the IBOP in Lisse

During the IBOP test in Lisse the top score of the day went to the five-year-old Inana B (Painted Black out of Emma B pref PROK by Jazz), bred by Combinatie Bleeker from Nijverdal. With a 9 for trot and an 8.5 for carriage & balance and rideability and trainability, she finished on 82 points.

 “This is a very nice, complete mare with a fantastic trot technique”, wrote Dirk Reijne enthusiastically who was judging together with Floor Dröge. “She has a good hind leg action and can switch movement well. In addition, she has good self-carriage, good trainability and is a beautiful, uphill-built mare.” Thanks to this good IBOP, Inana B now has Elite status.

Jayson hengst

Good 5th place for Jayson in stallion competition

On Wednesday 12th December there was a splendid 5th place for Jayson with Franka Loos during the second edition of the 2018/2019 stallion competition in Ermelo.

Once again Jayson demonstrated his excellent walk for which he scored an 8.5. The trot and canter were again characterised by good technique and power. The judging panel was very positive in their commentary about Jayson and see great possibilities for him as future top dressage horse. The final score was 83 points.

Chippendale-son nominated for 3rd viewing

Monday 10th December was dominated by the post-inspection in Ermelo. Here, the last stallions tried for a referral to the stallion inspection in Den Bosch which will be held from 30th January to 2nd February.

Chippendale-son Crosby received a referral for the third viewing. The older stallions follow a different route. As Crosby as a 7-year-old is competing at Intermediare I-level he was not assessed loose in the pen. In the coming period several of his offspring will be assessed by the committee. During the 3rd viewing it is decided whether an older stallion will be referred for the 5-day stable inspection in Ermelo.

Everdale Hengst Lottie

Someren: Everdale wins U25 Grand Prix with 75.38%

Today, 30th November, a Sub-top competition was held at Het Keelven in Someren. The 2 ladies, Lottie Fry and Franka Loos, from Team Van Olst were emphatically present and performed very nice tests under the watchful eye of trainer Anne van Olst and our competition groom Claire James.

The exceptionally talented stallion Everdale (Lord Leatherdale x Negro) won the combined Big Tour class with a superb score of 75.38% in the U25 Grand Prix. “Just an incredibly good test with really nice series and a lot of eights for the piaffe and passage sections”, according to a happy Charlotte Fry. Everdale’s sire, Lord Leatherdale (Lord Loxley x Ferragamo), also scored well in the Inter II and was 2nd in this class with 66.39%. “Lord had a couple of small mistakes that prevented a higher score, he didn’t jump through well in a pirouette, but for the two-time series he scored a 9!”

In the ZZ-Z class Lottie made her debut with a Lord Leatherdale-son. This For Your Eyes Only scored well in all sections and narrowly missed the 70%. This combination showed much perspective for the future.

 

Kjento hengst

Kjento KWPN-Autumn inspection Performance Test star with 90 points!

Kjento: a superstar is emerging! We proudly present our recently KWPN-approved stallion Kjento. The sturdy, black, 3-year-old Kjento (Negro x Jazz x Juventus x Rubinstein I x Doruto x Heidelberg x Amor) showed himself outstandingly during the performance test.

Kjento is a generously-developed stallion with power and effusion and 3 exceptional basic paces, in which he stands out with his ‘takt’. His rideability and trainability are fantastic and he is always highly-focused on his rider. A horse with high expectations for the future, both for stud duties as well as for the top sport, bred out of an extremely strong family of champions.
This stallion’s dam is the top-mare Zoriana, daughter of the preferent Grand Prix dressage stallion Jazz, and is from the very successful breeding programme of the van Os family in Sprang Capelle. She holds the predicates elite, IBOP-(dress) and preferent. In the IBOP, as a young horse, she had very high scores. The trot was awarded a 10.0! For canter, elasticity and rideability she scored a 9.0. Carriage, balance and talent were awarded a 9.5.
Sire Negro needs little introduction as preferent top-producer and true Grand Prix horse producer.

KWPN Inspection report
Kjento is an honest, reliable, rider-focused stallion with an excellent temperament. The stallion is very willing to work and is very easy to work with. The walk is active, clear-cut and has good scope with good use of the body. The trot is very powerful, has good scope with a an extremely active hind leg that comes under well and carries very well. The canter is uphill, very powerful with very good self-carriage and scope. Kjento moves with good ‘takt’ and has very good leg action, self-carriage and balance; his great ability to collect attracts positive attention. As a dressage horse Kjento is very talented and gives his rider a good feeling.

KWPN Breeding/suitability advice.

Kjento can improve movement, scope, use of body, rideabilty and temperament and can contribute ability to close/collect to dressage horse breeding.
Kjento scored the following points:

Walk: 8.5

Trot: 9.0

Canter: 9.5

Elasticity: 9.0

Self-carriage/balance: 9.0

Rideability/temperament: 9.0

Talent: 9.0

Total: 90 points

Negro makes his mark on Autumn inspection test

After the KWPN Autumn inspection test for 3- and 4-year-old stallions, there is one stallion who is very noticeably making his mark: the preferent legend Negro (Ferro x Variant).

His son Kjento (Negro x Jazz) emerged as the big winner of the 3-year-old stallions with a record score of 90 points. Never before has a 3-year-old stallion earned his approval in Ermelo with such a mega score! An absolute milestone for this black Negro-son. His “lowest” score was an 8.5 for walk and the other scores were all 9.0s. He achieved his highest score for his canter (9.5) and it is exactly that for which Negro’s two 4-year-old grandsons also scored the highest. Add to this the fact that the performance test reports of these 3 stallions also state that they are very rider-focused and very good to train. And think too about his Olympic Gold-son Valegro, as well as his grandson Glamourdale (FEI-World Champion of 7-year-olds with a 10.0 for his canter), then you can talk of an absolute top-producer.

 

His 2 four-year-old sons Jayson (ds. Negro) and Jameson RS2 (ds.Negro) both achieved a top score in Ermelo. Here too the rideability and trainability attracted attention, as did the trademark of both stallions, the canter. Jayson scored a 9.0 for canter and Jameson RS2 a 10.0! Jameson RS2, out of the superbly-breeding Negro-daughter Atilinda M, achieved a record score of 90 points, just like Kjento, which has also never previously happened with a 4-year-old stallion.

Despite being 23-years young, Negro remains a leader and proves time and again to be of great value for our station, but also for global dressage horse breeding. Both as immediate sire and as dam sire.

 

 

Negro-daughter scores 83 points in Tolbert IBOP

During the IBOP-test in Tolbert on 20th November the Negro-daughter was absolutely convincing. She was awarded a total score of 83 points!

 

The trot and canter scored an 8.5, but talent and carriage/balance also scored an 8.5. Khaleesi (Negro x Don Schufro x Cocktail) is owned and bred by B.Roerink from Beilen.
