The star of day 3 at the stallion inspection was Ti Sento, Cat. No. 420 (Kjento x Kraxk C x Monaco x Glendale, bred by: Hanneke and Stan Wouters from Chaam, owner: Van Baalen Horses). A dream stallion with tremendous carriage at the trot, exceptional adaptability, and commanding attention both on the street and in the arena. This son of Kjento received hearty applause from the audience and was by far one of the most striking horses of the day.
This stallion was sold at the Van Olst Online Foal Auction in 2023. We wish Van Baalen Horses the best of luck in the process with this incredible stallion.
The three-year-old Sondale (V. GLAMOURDALE KEUR V. LORD LEATHERDALE M. FENNE DP STB STER, PROK, PROVISIONALLY KEUR V. VIVALDI PREF M. NO LIMIT RP STB KEUR MV. HOUSTON KEUR — KAISERSTERN XX BREEDER: A. VAN DEN BROEK, BOEKEL GER.: VAN OLST HORSES, TERHEIJDENSSPOOR 9, 4911 BW DEN HOUT) stood out with his good workability, attitude and balance.
Exterior: Sondale is a stallion with good proportions in his body, he stands in a good rectangular model. The neck is well-formed and muscular, the head-neck connection is light. The shoulder is long and sloping, the withers extend well into the back. The back and loins are well-muscled and connected. The croup is slightly straight and of good length. The foreleg is correctly positioned. The hooves are well-formed and of good quality with appropriate heels.
Pedigree: Sire de Keur stallion Glamourdale became champion at the KWPN Stallion Show as a three-year-old, won his first world title in the seven-year-old class and won gold twice at the WEG in Herning. At the Paris Olympics, this powerful stallion took two bronze medals, and is also making impressive progress in breeding. Several offspring from his first crop have already broken through at the highest level, such as Kuvasz RS2 N.O.P., Kashmir, and Karldyr MB. This Glamourdale son, Sondale, is bred out of a full sister of Diane Rose’s Intermediaire II dressage horse Coco. As the dam’s sire, Grand Prix horse producer Vivaldi contributes his genes. He has made his mark in breeding thanks to offspring competing at the highest level, such as Dream Boy, Desperado, Expression, and Cennin. Through the progenitor Houston, this Dutch dam line, in its third generation, goes back to the half-bred mare Eva, who also founded the international Grand Prix horses Ferero (by Ferro) ridden by Chantal Wigan and Ferrari (by Apache) ridden by Jeanine Nekeman.
Examination report: Sondale is a balanced and likeable stallion. He has a keenness to work and is well-focused on the rider. His walk is a good four-beat with good body use and plenty of scope. The trot demonstrates balance and leg technique, while the hind leg remains sufficiently understep. The canter is balanced and scopey. The hind leg carries, creating a beautiful silhouette. Sondale uses his body and demonstrates adaptability. He gives the rider a good feeling and has developed positively in self-carriage during the examination.
Stable behavior: Honest, reliable stallion, easy to handle, and calm in the stable.
Veterinary report: No abnormalities noted. Semen analysis: Expected fertility class: good.
Breeding/mating advice: Sondale can improve the topline and connections in the body, and add lightness to dressage horse breeding.

Last year in the Stallion Competition with Zandra and last summer in the Pavo Cup, Charlotte Fry and Pjethro had to settle for the reserve title. Today, the son of Kjento delivered the first blow in the first competition round of the Anemone Horse Trucks Stallion Competition Dressage. With 89.8 points, he won the M-class.
As the first starter in the M-class in the first competition round of the Anemone Horse Trucks Stallion Competition in Kronenberg, Pjethro (Kjento out of Jaomie elite IBOP-dres D-OC by Desperado, breeder: A.J. Beerens of De Moer) achieved a score that no one could match. Ridden by Charlotte Fry, the chestnut stallion scored 9.2 for canter and overall impression. “This is a very sturdy, functional horse with excellent technique,” says Domien Michiels, who judges this competition together with Janine van Twist and Brecht D’Hoore. “At the walk, Pjethro is very active and spacious. When picking up the reins, this stallion maintained a very pure stride. At the trot, he has excellent technique, impulsion, and natural balance. His neck extension was remarkably good, and he followed the hand beautifully. The canter has excellent self-carriage, is very functional, and has excellent carriage. In the transitions, he maintained beautiful carriage on the hind leg.”
The generous Glamourdale son, Powerdale (by GLAMOURDALE KEUR by LORD LEATHERDALE M. DANCING GIRL DP STB STER, PREST MV. JOHNSON PREF M. ROSEN-DAME RP STB STER, PROK MMV. ROHDIAMANT ERK – WELTMEYER) showed excellent development compared to last year. Presented very harmoniously by Charlotte Fry, he finished in 5th place with almost 81 points.
The 2021 generation presented itself today at the first Anemone Horse Trucks Stallion Competition Dressage in Ermelo. The four-year-old stallions did not disappoint, with Real Dream even achieving the highest score of the day. Ridden by Charlotte Fry, this Dynamic Dream son received 92.8 points, including a 9.8 for his excellent canter.
The newest crop delivered an interesting round to conclude the first competition of the Anemone Horse Trucks Stallion Competition. Real Dream (Dynamic Dream out of Fivanny ster PROK by Negro, breeder: Maatschap Pleyter from Zalk and H.A. van Triest from Elburg), a grandson of the renowned Dolly, performed very well as the last starter. Ridden by Charlotte Fry, he took the lead. “A very beautiful, appealing horse that was presented with great harmony,” enthused Domien Michiels, also on behalf of Brecht D’Hoore and Janine van Twist. “This horse had a beautiful connection, moving nicely uphill and towards the hand. The walk is very functional and active. In trot, the performance was very natural, well-supported and consistent. The highlight was the canter, with excellent balance, good technique, and a hind leg that consistently followed the lead. The canter is very natural, uphill, and with beautiful transitions. He always remained well-supported, with his nose towards the hand.”
A good walker, Renzo
Real Dream faced competition from stablemate Renzo (Kjento out of Aronia elite pref prest IBOP-dres PROK by Rousseau, breeder: C.M.E. Reijrink of Diessen). This stallion, presented by Zandra Birkeland, came close with 92.4 points. He received a 9.5 for his high-quality walk. This is a powerful horse presented in a natural, harmonious manner. The walk flows beautifully through the body, with plenty of overreach and activity. He maintained a beautiful length to the hand and was always true to rhythm from the very first stride. The trot is natural and light-footed with plenty of suppleness and verve. He also carries himself beautifully, and we saw good balance in the yielding. The canter is very light-footed and consistent.
Last Friday, Indoor Oosteind 2025 officially kicked off. A fantastic competition that guarantees beautiful sport in a beautifully decorated hall. Not only is it a treat for the riders, but visitors also enjoy the competition every year. Indoor Oosteind has been a household name for dressage and show jumping riders for years. The first weekend is traditionally dedicated to dressage, with one of the highlights being the sub-top evening on Friday. Charlotte Fry competed in the Prix St. Georges, Intermediaire I, and Grand Prix classes.
Fry brought Niksmismee VK with her for the first class. In the Prix St. Georges class, she scored an impressive 70.7%! This earned her first place. This was the first competition for the 7-year-old gelding by Everdale x Vivaldi (bred by H.C. Vervoorn-Knaap).
Lottie Fry also performed well in the Intermediate 1, with her black pearl Nalegro (by Painted Black x Negro, bred by J.L. Hanse, Burgh-Haamstede) she outperformed the competition and took home the victory.
As a fantastic finale, she also rode world champion Kjento to victory in the Grand Prix!
On Tuesday, October 21st, Lottie and Nalegro (Painted Black out of Jalegrofleur ster pref PROK by Negro, breeder: Joop Hanse of Burgh-Haamstede) competed in Erp in the Prix St. Georges, organized by AMGB Horse Events.
This duo was already unbeatable last weekend, but yesterday they took it one step further. With a massive score of over 76%, they once again won the Small Tour class.

After the European Championships last August in Crozet, Charlotte Fry competed for the first time last Saturday. For her return, the Van Olst rider had brought two young stallions to the Subtop competition in Velddriel and was in a class of her own with both. With the seven-year-old Nalegro (Painted Black x Negro, breeder: J.L. Hanse, Burgh-Haamstede), she won the Prix St. Georges with 72.279%, and the just six-year-old O’Frederic (For Romance x Fidertanz, breeder: Heike Schulte, Eggermühlen) scored 70.786% in his Subtop debut in the ZZ-Zwaar class. Charlotte has already competed in several Small Tour competitions with two-time World Championship horse (five- and six-year-olds) Nalegro, the last of which was in May of this year. “That was a while ago, and after that, we continued training at home to hopefully improve,” says Fry, who is very happy with her test today. “He did very well, and we didn’t have any major mistakes. The changes and pirouettes were especially beautiful. Nalegro has become stronger and better at his work; I’m really happy with him.”
After the young horse competitions, O’Frederic performed his first test in regular competition today. And the six-year-old stallion did very well. “He’s still a baby, but he has such an incredible character,” Fry praises the stallion with whom she received the Perfect Pair Prize, a prize for the combination with the most harmonious presentation, at last year’s KWPN Stallion Show.
“The ZZ-Zwaar level are quite challenging tests, but it was great to be able to take him to the same competition as Nalego. O’Frederic is very eager to work and is so honest in the arena. He makes my job so easy,” Fry continues with a laugh. “We had a few mistakes, but that’s okay. He did very well, a truly promising horse for the future. O’Frederic doesn’t get hot and is sharp in a good way; he gives a very good feeling.”
For Fry, this competition marked her return after the European Championships last August in Crozet, France, where she and Glamourdale were part of the silver-winning British team. “It was great to be back in the arena, and both horses did very well. And it was great that the training at home paid off.”
Last week, Lara Butler made her debut on Saturday with the 7-year-old stallion Don’t Look Back (De Niro x Negro, breeder: Bernhard von Boehn, Burgdorf) in the Prix St. Georges at the Selevia Subtop Competition in Werkendam. This was Don’t Look Back’s first competition. The combination finished in a respectable third place with 66.18%.
On Sunday, she competed in the Grand Prix with Graaf Leatherdale T (Lord Leatherdale x Kennedy, breeder: W.H.J. Timmers from Volkel) in Pijnacker during the Klavertje Vier Winter Competition & Subtop. With a strong test, they finished in 4th place with an impressive 70%.

Yesterday, October 2nd, the 2025/26 performance test began with the first saddle evaluation. Zandra Birkenland presented three stallions that had been accepted at the stallion inspection in March. She also presented N’Spartacus, bred by H. Verthriest, who had not been presented before. This stallion was also accepted by the committee and has thus been included in this performance test. Of the stallions selected at the regular stallion inspection or another event and expected in the ring today, these three Van Olst stallions successfully presented themselves to the committee:
– Glammadoo (Glamourdale x Cum Laude, bred by H. Verthriest, Deinze, BE)
– Kyro (Kjento x Trento B, bred by Gloudemans, Nuland)
– Krishano (Kjento x Rousseau, bred by Bakker, Dalen) (Photo)
