💐March saw Zoë head to Italy to make the most of getting started for the outdoor season at the glorious ☀️ Equieffe Equestrian Centre in Gorla Minore 🇮🇹.
The 8️⃣yos really showed what great things are to come from them in the future with homebred 🐴Cornet’s Ghost stepping up to jump his first Ranking Classes and 2* & 3* Grand Prix in the two weeks. 🐴Mowgli C performed well in the 1m40 Finals and the 6️⃣yos 🐴Ofira Q & 🐴Thor van de Vlasbloemhoeve picked up numerous placings and gained lots of consistent clear rounds.
Michael’s goal for March was the British Show Jumping Spring Championships 💐 held at Arena UK to mark the end of the indoor season. After qualifying on the Wednesday for the 5️⃣yo Final - Michael and 🐴Doris V Z went on to 🥇win 🏆 on the Saturday night. This was a solid performance for a horse we have very high hopes for the future with 🤩.
👀🔙 We look back on our year with 15 outright wins 🥇 with our team of young horses. A total of 4 sales with the last one of the year completing a few days ago with 🐴Nobel Heart.
With our oldest horses this year only being 7 years of age we look forward to 🐴Mowgli C and 🐴Cornet’s Ghost turning 8yo tomorrow and moving up the ranks.
Highlights of our year include 🐴Thor’s 5yo Grand Prix win 🏆 in Sentower Park🇧🇪 in May, 🐴Ofira placing 5th in the Holger Hetzel🇩🇪 5yo Final and 🐴Mowgli nailing his first 1m45 also at this fantastic show. Van Mossel Cup🇳🇱 gave us 2 qualifications for the 🌍World Championship's in Lanaken🇧🇪 again and 🐴Doris showed us his potential placing 1st 🥇& 2nd 🥈in his first ever style competitions. It was a pleasure to be selected for the AES team once again in Valkenswaard🇳🇱 and 🐴Ofira ended the year with our last international win 🏆 at Azelhof🇧🇪.
And not forgetting Michael turning 4️⃣0️⃣ 🎁🪩 and ending the year with a fantastic party at Woodborough Hall.
👀⏩We look forward to starting the New Year at Addington EC🇬🇧 before heading to Azelhof🇧🇪 once again.
Thank you to everyone that has been part of our team this year and we look forward to 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣ being even better. 🎉🥳🍾
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.
