Proud owner

How proud can you be on your horse, your rider, your trainer and your entire team around your top horses.
I did experience this feeling of ultimate pride last weekend during the International Horseshow “Jumping Amsterdam”.
Our own Lottie Fry rode a fantastic winning test with her superstar “Everdale” in the Grand Prix on Friday.
The “icing on the cake” was that this successful duo won the “World Cup” on Saturday with a personal best.
Technically, this “dream combination” has no weak points and can score (very) high on all exercises.
Both ladies, Lottie and Anne, and their “top stallion” are now entering the phase where they are working towards the “finishing touch” and the “ideal overall picture”.
It promises to be a very interesting summer, starring: the very dedicated ladies Lottie and Anne, the very talented stallions “Everdale and Glamourdale”, and the road to the “Paris 2024 Olympic Games”.
“The journey has started and I am already thoroughly enjoying it.”

Yours sincerely, Gertjan van Olst

Busy days for Lottie Fry at the KWPN Stallion Selection

The upcoming KWPN Stallion Selection in ‘s-Hertogenbosch (3 and 4 February), promise to be busy days for Charlotte Fry. The young stallions of Van Olst Horses, Secret Lover (by Secret x Fürstenball breeder: B.Zumbruch, Wangerland, Germany) and O’Frederic (by For Romance I x Fidertanz breeder: Heike Schulte, Eggermühlen, Germany) will make their appearance on Friday 3 February under the saddle of Lottie Fry.

In addition, Glamourdale as FEI No.1 and World Champion 2022 and 2018 will be put in the spotlight on Friday. Of course, Kjento cannot be missing here, he will be honoured as “KWPN Horse of the Year 2022”.

A great recognition for this two-time world champion, an honour already bestowed upon his stablemates Negro and Glamourdale.

The young talents

In addition, on Saturday evening, 4 February, top horses Nalegro (Painted Black x Negro breeder: J. Hanse, Burgh Haamstede/Van Olst Horses) and Nacho (by Negro x Krack breeder: S. Maakenschijn, Chaam) will be ridden by Lottie during the final Stallion Competition Class L.

Time to look back at the WCYH Verden

Letzte Woche fand in Verden die Weltmeisterschaft der jungen Dressurpferde statt. Charlotte Fry stellte hier den 6-jährigen Hengst Kjento vor! Kjento und Lottie sind nun wieder zu Hause, Zeit, auf diese äußerst erfolgreiche und besondere Woche zurückzublicken.

Am Mittwoch, 25. August, stand der erste Teil der Prüfung für die sechsjährigen Dressurpferde auf dem Programm: die am Samstag angesetzte Qualifikationsprüfung für das große Finale. Kjento und Lottie waren in Topform. Mit einer erstaunlichen Punktzahl von 94% konnten sie den ersten Test gewinnen. Die Richter waren beeindruckt von dem fantastischen Hengst (Züchter AJ van Os von Sprang Capelle). Eigentlich war der Test ein großes Highlight. Voll konzentriert ging Kjento durch die schwierigen Übungen und das Duo schien überhaupt keine Probleme zu haben. Lottie und Kjento erhielten sowohl im Trab als auch im Galopp die ultimative 10. Außerdem gab es eine 9,5 für die „submission“ und die Kombination auch eine 9,5 für „perspective“. Für den Walk gab es eine 8, was zum Sieg führte.

Am Samstag war es Zeit für das große Finale. Als letzte Kombination betraten Kjento und Lottie der Dressurring. Hier konnte das Duo alle Erwartungen erfüllen. Wieder ein fantastischer Test mit vielen Highlights. Die Jury brauchte wenig Zeit, um die Zahlen zu verkünden: Nicht weniger als das 4-fache der ultimativen 10 waren auf der Punkteliste dieses absoluten Kraftpakets zu vermerken. Mit insgesamt 96% waren Lottie und Kjento die absoluten Favoriten der Jury und auch des Publikums! Lottie und Kjento Weltmeisterin der sechsjährigen Dressurpferde in Verden!

Danke euch allen für die vielen süßen Nachrichten!

Good edition of the Van Olst Sales auction for three-year-old mares

The fourth online auction of Van Olst Sales has just ended. An auction that was dedicated to three-year-old mare’s that have all become preliminary keur at the recently held mare inspections. The most expensive in this auction was the black pearl and NMK mare Madonna T, descended from Diëgo out of an Everdale mare and then Chippendale’s grandmother. For the nice amount of € 35,000 she’s bought by a customer in England who has already bought at Van Olst Sales before. She will now be ridden first and after that she will first have her foal.

Mystery Girl and Mabel have been bought by a customer from the Netherlands and will be ridden and prepared for the IBOP test after which they can have their foal.

Malaika is leaving to Germany for € 14,000. Unfortunately, Make the Difference is not sold in this edition.
