Grosso C (Eldorado ZeshoekxLupicor) is jumping with Sara Nensén in Sweden. In early July he ran nationally in Falsterbo. The picture above is of him during the contest in Falsterbo. He won both his last competitions in July and August (1.20/1.25m).
On September 5th 2016 Cincitty C (Numero UnoxCitty), born at our stables, was competing in the CSI3* Longines Grand Prix at the Olympic stadium in Beijing. It was great to see that World and Olympic champion Jeroen Dubbeldam was riding him.
In the team competition Cincitty and Jeroen had a clear round and ended with their team in 2nd place.
Last year Cincitty ended in 2nd place in the Longines Grand Prix with Olympic rider Henrik von Eckermann.
On August 9, Fitty Firenze C (Numero UnoxPlacidoxRamiro) competed in the course of the 6-year-olds at the KWPN Championship (1.30m). She had a clear round. On August 10, Fitty will start in the 2nd round and hopefully she can also go to the finals on Thursday. Fitty Firenze has a sportname Fifty Fifty and in 2015 she was 2nd at the National Mare Show for Keur and Elite mares.
Afterwards a nice photo was made of Fitty, rider Marcel Beukers and me.
Saturday July 16th 2016 Lowland Citty C (Zirocco BluexVingino) and his mother attended the Central Inspection of Limburg. Lowland was placed first in the category of the showjumping colts. Then he competed with the best filly, who would be champion. The outcome was that Lowland Citty C was Champion of Limburg! We are also invited to participate in the National Foal Inspection in Ermelo on August 12th.
When his mother Ditty Dante C was a foal, she was also invited for the National Foal Inspection and at the of 3-year she was also competing at the National Mare Show. Ditty is also the mother of the KWPN approved stallion Highlander (F. Numero Uno).
On May 19th, 2016 Larezza Citty C was born. This beautiful, strong and correct filly is sired by the Grand Prix stallion Arezzo. Her mother is Witty Luterra C (LupicorxRamiroxJoostxAbgar). Larezza Citty C was recently purchased by a famous American horseman. He knew the line of Citty very well. He has had himself had owned Littus R (ConcordexRamiroxJoostxAgbar, therefore brother of Witty Luterra C). Littus R was as a young horse champion of the KWPN Stallion Inspection and then successful in international show jumping.
Hopefully Larezza Citty C will have a good future in sport within a few years.
After a difficult start, we have a healthy filly by Berlin and Vitty Valente C (PlacidoxRamiro).
Libren (the letters of Berlin in a different order) was born on May 16th, Whit Monday.
She will become one of my broodmares in the future.
Plot Blue-daughter Hitty Quintess C by Vitty Valente C has become 4 years old in 2016. This very chic Ster Prok-mare is owned by Paul Hendrix and Emile Spadone of Redfield Farm in the USA. She is now started in first competitions. This spring she will be competing in the Hendrix Stable Competition with her rider Manon van Rixtel.
On April 15, 2016 she was at the Equestrian Centre De Peelbergen, where the approved stallion Highlander (son of Dante Ditty) immediately started after her. So two nearly related showjumpers were at the same time in the showjumping arena.
Zirocco Blue x Ditty Dante C (Elite NMK VinginoxLupicorxRamiroxJoostxAbgar) brought us this colt foal (on photo 1 day old). He is half brother of the KWPN approved stallion Highlander C (by Numero Uno). A full brother of this colt is 2 years ago sold at the Elite Auction Borculo. This foal shows enormous similarities with his full brother Jayblue Citty C. The new born foal is very tall, beautiful and has a very friendly and outreaching character. Let’s hope he will get a great future in showjumping like many of his relatives.
Magazine De Paardenkrant published on February 10, 2016 a short article about the presentation of the young KWPN stallions. Highlander (Numero UnoxVingino-Ditty Dante C) was specifically mentioned as talented young stallion and his photo was published with the article.
On February 4, 2016 Highlander presented himself at the KWPN Stallion Show. With his rider Kristian he was impressive in his performance. Comments from Wout Jan van der Schans: “I think this is a horse with a lot of potential for the big sport. We are pleased as committee that Vingino is in the maternal line, and we were able to approve such a stallion”. In the press release that the KWPN put out following the presentation of the young stallions, you see Highlander in the foreground (the grey).
