Marjolein Cooremans-Baelemans had a very succesful day at the foal inspection of KWPN region Belgium last Saturday in Oud-Turnhout. Her foals became champion and reserve champion!

Rosanieta MCB

The appealing champion of the Belgian foal inspection is Kjento daughter Rosanieta MCB (out of Harry’s Girl by Lord of Loxley). “This is a foal with a beautiful appearance, front and a strong topline”, explains Floor Dröge. “Every stride is the same and she is very nice. She could be a little looser in the topline today. In canter she has a lot of balance and good scope. In addition, this foal has a good walk.”

Risamante MCB

The reserve champion is also a filly: Risamante MCB (Glamourdale out of Isamante elite D-OC v. Wynton). “This is a well-developed, long-lined foal with a lot of appearance. At this point the withers and the back could be a little more developed. The foundation is set correctly. When this foal starts to move, we see a lot of posture, a lot of flexibility and good leg technique. She shows that she can change gears well at both trot and canter.”

Both foals have been invited for the National Foal Inspection.

France has announced the nomination list for the World Championships for Young Dressage Horses in Verden. The list of seven-year-olds includes the by H.B.G. Holleman-Hilderink bred NMK mare Jarina des Vallées (Everdale x Sandro Hit) with her rider Barbara Clement. Jarina des Vallées convinced in 2017 at the IBOP in Oosteind with 81.5 points and was declared ster at the subsequent studbook inspection. The mare, then still owned by Van Olst Horses, received a ticket for the National Mare Inspection at the CK Brabant. In August of the same year, she was sold for 29,000 euros at the Excellent Dressage Sales auction.

A view minutes ago the Grand Prix Special was ridden in Tokyo during the Olympic Games and Charlotte Fry and Everdale together with her teammates Carl Hester and Charlotte Dujardin won the Bronze Medal! An exceptionally good result of which we as Van Olst Horses are particularly proud of!

Tomorrow, Wednesday, is already the last day where the Freestyle to music is scheduled. Here too Lottie will ride once more, the times are yet to be announced.

The four-year-old mare Money Penny became champion of the four- to seven-year-old dressage mares at the Central Inspection at de Mortel last weekend. ”A more than sufficiently developed mare, she has a very good trot in which she remains remarkably well closed. Her flexibility in movement is also very positive”, commented inspector Bart Bax. Money Penny’s dam performs in the international Small Tour.

Money Penny (Everdale x Krack C) was declared ‘ster’ with 80/85 and became now ‘voorlopig keur’. The mare is bred by Miléna Aubry and owned by Maarten and Nicole Donkers.
