Unfortunately, I have not found Enzo C (QuintenderxLupicor) yet. However, I found out that he has competed in Belgium in 2016 with rider Sander Geenen. He jumped at the 1.30m match at De Warre. Then Enzo apparently was sold to Canada. Hopefully I’ll find him again.
Half of July, 2 cousins are jumping at the international competition De Wolden. Both Fitty Faline C (Numero Uno x Witty Luterra C by Lupicor) and Fitty Firenze C/Fifty Fifty (Numero Uno x Vitty Valente C by Placido) start in the CSI ** Bronze Tour and in the 7-year Youngster classes. Faline aswel as Fifty had clear rounds at the first day!
Faline is ridden by the Norwegian rider Kristine Seierstad and Fifty is ridden by Marcel Beukers.
What a success for Fitty Firenze C! On June 2nd 2017 she became 2nd in the international competition in Wierden. She put down two flawless rounds and in the jump-off she had a very fast time of 43.38 seconds. Compared to the winner she only missed 0.13 seconds. Fitty Firenze is a daughter of Vitty Valente C. As a 4-year-old, Elite-Mare Fitty Firenze C became Champion of CK Noord-Holland and 2nd the National Mare Championships of the KWPN. Both in showjumping as at inspections she is very successful!
In the 2nd week of Tops International, Fitty Faline C (Numero UnoxLupicor) scored a magnificent 2nd and 3rd place in the Tops International Arena in Valkenswaard in the various categories. Fitty Faline competed in the CSI1* Medium Tour.
From 8 to 10 May 2017, Fitty Faline C and Kristine Seierstad competed in Valkenswaard in the CSI1* Medium Tour. The first day the first obstacle impressed Fitty, but then she jumped very well and even received the compliments of the speaker.
Day 2 Fitty Faline C was in her element and achieved a 2nd place after a very fast jump-off. She can turn very smoothly and easily.
The final also went perfectly. After the flawless first round, she had also no faults in the jump-off. There were a few very long lines built in this jump-off and Fitty Faline C became 5th with Kristine.
In April 2017, the breeders of well-performing offspring of stallions of the VDL Stud were honored. We also were invited for the ceremony. This holds for the championship of Lowland Citty C (Zirocco BluexVingino, Ditty Dante C).
In late March Fifty Fifty (Numero UnoxPlacido out of Vitty Valente C) came from the North Holland to Limburg for a competition. It was nice to see her perform again. At this moment she is successful at 1.30m level.
This morning Ditty Dante C Elite by VinginoxLupicor gave us a very special filly. She is a beautiful daughter of Cicero van Paemel Z. Ditty is also mother to KWPN approved stallion Highlander. Her mother is sister to 3 1.60m showjumpers, 1 1.50m and 5 1.30-1.45m showjumpers. Other near relatives are also competing on the highest level in showjumping (2 Grand Prix and several on 1.45-1.50m level).
Above you see a photo of Anneken, Grosso C and myself after the training at De Peelbergen. Grosso C is an Eldorado van de ZeshoekxLupicorxRamiroxJoostxAbgar.
In late February/early March Grosso C (Eldorado ZeshoekxLupicor/Witty Luterra) was again in the Netherlands. With his new young rider he was here for a few weeks training at the stables of Cees van den Oetelaar. Recently Grosso and his new rider had a training by Maikel van der Vleuten.
Grosso C is running a number of training laps in De Peelbergen and is a few times in a contest. For example in Asten and in the first weekend of March in De Peelbergen. Grosso C is ridden by Anneken Thorkildsen and they are normally trained by international rider Aarnes Solveig of Vest Stables in Norway.
Everyone has a lot of expectations from this talented, powerful and impressive horse.
