Everdale son It’s Easy succesful at ‘ZZ-zwaar’ level

Marieta Doornwaard and the 8 year old Everdale offspring It’s Easy are successful att ‘ZZ-zwaar’ level!

Last month, the combination debuted in this class, and then immediately scored 70% and 67%. Last weekend the duo started for the second time at the Subtop competition in Wapenveld. With 69.64% they almost touched 70% again.

It’s Easy (Everdale x Havel) is bred by L. Lub. The gelding lives up to its name. Marieta: ”Most horses that arrive at this level require encouragement, but with him that is not necessary. He really likes the job. He does the exercises very easy, but everything depends on his focus, so it’s up to me to be clear and keep his attention. He has a lot of talent and got for example nines for the flying changes. Truly a dream horse!”

Racoon s. Kjento wins foal inspection CK Zeeland

The foal inspection for dressage foals at CK Zeeland had an exciting conclusion. Both the leading numbers of the mares and the stallions received a ticket for the National Foal Inspection. The striking Kjento son Racoon eventually won the title.

Ten dressage foals entered the arena, five stallions and five mares. In this group, the Kjento son Racoon (out of Luna, elite EPTM-dr PROK, D-OC s. Governor) was immediately the most striking. Jury Floor Dröge, who judged the foals together with Marian Dorresteijn, was impressed: ”A well-developed foal, long legged with a lot of charisma. He has good length in his body and three excellent basic gaits with a lot of quality.”

Breeders of Racoon are Petra and Livi Verschueren. Congratulations!

In time (s. Everdale) scores 67.426% in Prix St. Georges

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.
