In the most recently published FEI ranking (March 2023), our stallion Glamourdale (by Lord Leatherdale x Negro) Breeder: J. Rodenburg, Ouderkerk a/d IJssel, is once again No. 1 in the dressage horses.
In addition, in the “Athletes”(dressage) Charlotte Fry (Lottie) is again at
No 1, a position she has held since December 2022.

This “Golden” FEI No. 1 combination can be seen in action next Sunday 9 April (1st Easter Day) at the annual Stallion Show at Van Olst Horses in den Hout.

Lottie will also show her other “world champion” Kjento, as well as her other top talents such as Nespresso, Everdale, Lantanas, Nalegro, Nacho, O’Frederic, Secret Lover, etc., among others.
The recent “Small Tour” winner of AKEN “Inverness” will also be shown.
The show starts Sunday 9 April at 2pm.

World champion Charlotte Fry fulfilled her favorite role today in the World Cup freestyle at The Dutch Masters in Den Bosch. With her World Cup golden horse Glamourdale (by Lord Leatherdale) she achieved the highest score of 86.835% by far. With a lead of more than three percent, they were well at the top. The stallion has talent for everything, but his highlight is the canter. Several tens were also noted in it today: for the extended canter and the series every two strides.

The Dutch Masters are currently taking place in the Brabanthallen in Den Bosch. This beautiful show that was previously known as Indoor Brabant is also the last competition that counts as a qualification for the Dressage World Cup.

Lottie and Glamourdale started in the Grand Prix and lived up their role as favourites! With a difference of over 3 percent on the number two, they managed to achieve the nice score of 79.826%. Saturday afternoon the Freestyle will be ridden;, which is also the conclusion of the world cup competition in Den Bosch.

Besides Glamourdale, Lars van de Hoenderheide and Jackson are also at The Dutch Masters. On Friday Lars came into action in the 3 star Grand Prix and became the winner in the Grand Prix.

Jackson also competed on Friday in the Prix st. George. He was able to continue his victory series from Lier with winning this class!

All in all a very strong start of the “The Dutch Masters” for Lottie and her horses. On Saturday, all three will compete again, with Lottie and Glamourdale riding their Freestyle “Best of Britain” for the first time on Dutch soil.

Like every year, the presentation of the stallions that were approved by the KWPN last year is eagerly awaited. Van Olst Horses has approved the stallions Secret Lover v. Secret x Furstenball breeder B. Zumbruch from Wangerland DLD and O’Frederic v. For Romance I x Fidertanz breeder H. Schulte from Eggermuhlen DLD.

O’Frederic clearly showed why he could be approved last fall. This beautiful brown horse showed to have a very good uphill canter, in walk he showed the much sought-after suppleness and space and in trot he could impress with a very good technique of moving.

Secret Lover, who was approved in the spring of 2022 and whose first foals are expected this year, has become a lot stronger and more mature. The elegant black walked the course with a lot of go as if he had never done anything else.
