We are pleased to announce that from the results of the 5yo Final at the Wildcard Qualifier in Schijndel, NL a few weeks ago, that homebred Comthago’s Jewel and stable mate Thor van de Vlasbloemhoeve have qualified to compete in Lanaken, BE at the FEI WBFSH Jumping World Breeding Championships for Young Horses.
This means that both Michael & Zoe will be competing this year.
We are also very proud that this is the third year running that we have had homebreds qualify for this prestigious event.
2022 saw Cornet’s Ghost - Cornet Obolensky x Balou du Rouet attend for the 5yo class, he also featured there in 2023 as a 6yo too.
Last year it was the turn of Comthago’s Jewel’s half brother Loma de Reve LH - Malito de Reve x Emerald also as a 5yo.
Zoe has also ridden there in the 7yo classes in 2022 with Katania who now jumps 1m60 classes and Labella V who is the mother of our up and coming star 4yo Doris V Z.
Comthago’s Jewel was also selected for the AES team to compete in Valkenswaard the following weekend but unfortunately due to the rules she was not allowed to compete at both events but Zoe will attend the show for the AES team with her 7yo stallion Mowgli C - Hermantico x Charisma.
At the start of the year we carefully planned the season and set these two events as our main goals for the end of the summer months and we are delighted that the plan came together.
We hope to be able to bring you more good news in a couple of weeks with our results from these two prestigious shows.
It was a nice short drive from Lummen to Sentower Park for the second week of our 🇧🇪Belgian trip and we crossed our fingers that we were in for a drier week🤞🏻🙏🏼.
Mowgli C started things off with a good clear in the 7yo and Thor van de Vlasbloemhoeve had our first podium finish of the weekend picking up a 🥉 third place in the 5yos.
Friday was a good day with all of the horses going clear or picking up a placing but the weather took a turn for the worse and poured ☔️ all day so 🐴Mowgli took the opportunity to stay in 🛌 bed!
🐴Thor picked up 4th in the 5yo, Nevis Field was 5th in the 6yo, Malibu RAG 12th in the 1* 1m30 & Cornet’s Ghost stepped up for a clear in the 2* 1m35.
For the weekend the weather had improved but 🐴Malibu picked up a cut in the warm-up for the 1* Grand Prix so was unable to jump so it was all down to 🐴Thor on Sunday 😬. He stepped up to jump a fantastic double clear in the 5yo Grand Prix to take the win 🏆🥇 finishing off a great 2 weeks for him after his double clear the week before in Lummen too.
We head home now for a few weeks to spend a bit of time with the younger horses before the older ones head to Addington in June. Hoping to see the ☀️ sun in the next few weeks too!
We were excited to head to Lummen for the second week of their Spring Tour but unfortunately the weather was against us! ☔️
After postponing the whole show on Friday to give the grass arena some time to recover from the unprecedented rain the previous day we hoped to get the show underway on Saturday. With a clear in the 6yo & the 1* 1m30 we were happy to have made a start but later that day during the 7yo class another storm hit and the show was forced to cancel for the rest of the afternoon, meaning another easy day for 🐴Mowgli C!
Sunday came around and it was a drier day and we had clears in the 5&6yo on the grass, both 7yos with a 4th from 🐴Malibu RAG & a 9th for 🐴Cornet’s Ghost in the 1* 1m30.
On Monday for the Grand Prix classes we were rescheduled to jump everyone on the sand arena after more overnight rain 🙈.
🐴Thor van de Vlasbloemhoeve was double clear in the 5yo, 🐴Mowgli had a clear in the 7yo too and 🐴Cornet’s Ghost finished the day with clear & 1 time fault to finish 8th in the 1*.
A lot of cleaning required before Sentower Park this coming weekend and we hope to continue with some good results.
