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!

Negro in the lead at HorseTelex Results Ranking

Since the arrival of the HorseTelex Results Ranking (2015), only one KWPN stallion has topped this list. Johnson took the top position in the world ranking for 2020. Now Gertjan van Olsts Negro (Ferro x Variant) is in the lead. And he also owes this position in large part to Van Olst personally: many of the children who collected points in the ranking for their father have a link with Van Olst.

Kastel’s Nintendo (ds. Monaco) ridden by Charlotte Jorst was owned by Van Olst as a young horse and was trained by Anne van Olst, and the same goes for Charlotte Heerings Bufranco (Negro x Zevenster) and his brother Alfranco ridden by Sarah Higgins. Severo Jurado Lopez’ Olympic horse Fendi T (Negro x Lester) is still owned by Van Olst and Beatrice Ferrer-Salats Tokio horse Elegance (Negro x Monaco) was bred by Van Olst.

A total of 19 Negros competed in international dressage last year (September 2020 – September 2021). In addition, 21 grandchildren collected points (half awarded) for their grandfather, including Van Olst’s Grand Prix stallions Chippendale (Lord Leatherdale x Negro), Everdale (Lord Leatherdale x Negro), who won team bronze with Charlotte Fry in Tokyo and Glamourdale ( Lord Leatherdale x Negro), who made an impressive debut this year in the international Grand Prix.

Charlotte and Kjento win the first round of the World Championships in Verden

With a massive 94% Charlotte Fry won the first test with Kjento today during the World Championship for young dressage horses in Verden. With the ultimate 10 for trot and canter, a 9.5 for the “submission” and also for the “perspective”, the jury members were deeply impressed by the fantastic black stallion Kjento (breeder AJ van Os from Sprang Capelle). He absolutely mastered this difficult test with full concentration and it seemed to be no effort at all for the duo. Today’s No. 2 was 2% away, the No. 3 a huge 10% behind them.

On Saturday, this special duo will once again be in action during the final of the 6-year-old dressage horses.
