In Kronenberg the program continues with the Anemone Horse Trucks Stallion Competition Dressage. In the four-year-old class it was McLaren, presented by Dinja van Liere, that demonstrated his talent in every way. The Morricone-offspring was awarded 95 points and thereby remained ahead of Mowgli V.O.D. (s.Desperado). Dinja van Liere claimed two spots on the podium. Aboard Mauro Turfhorst (s.Zonik) she placed third.  McLaren (out of Samatha by Sir Donnerhall) is bred by U. Toenjes of Ganderkesee and is owned by Reesink Horses in Eibergen. “McLaren has a light-footed trot with lots of strength in his hindquarter. The canter is uphill, powerful and supple. The stallion moves with lots of balance and was perfectly presented. In the walk he could place his hind leg further under the body”, explained Janine van Twist afterwards. The stallion received two tens, for the trot and submission. The end result was 95 points. Mowgli V.O.D. The Desperado-son Mowgli V.O.D. was in the capable hands of Franka Loos, who won the M-class with Las Vegas earlier that night. Mowgli V.O.D. (out of Zoriana elite pref prest IBOP-dres PROK by Jazz) was bred by A. van Os of Sprang-Capelle and is registered to the breeder and hi son Jorg and S. van der Lei of Sint-Michielsgestel. “The trot has lots of schwung and elasticity. He could develop slightly more power. In the canter he has abundant rhythm but could be better connected to the front. He is well-ridden and showed solid transitions”, explained Janine van Twist. The stallion received three 9.5s, for the trot, submission and general impression. This brought the total to 92 points. Mauro Turfhorst  Dinja van Liere also presented the stallion Mauro Turfhorst (Zonik out of Hidaylia ster by Negro). The stallion is bred by J.W. Greve of Haaksbregen and is owned by Turfhorst Stud in Wezep and Reesink Horses in Eibergen. “The stallion showed abundant rhythm and impression in the trot. He could develop a tad more strength, which can primarily be seen in the extensions. The canter is nicely jumped, spacious and uphill. The horse displays self-carriage and overall, it was a lovely ride”, spoke Janine van Twist after the test. The stallion received four 9s for the walk, canter, submission and generall impression. The total result was 88 points. Follow the Stallion Competitions LIVE Unable to visit the stallion competitions? All shows and the final are broadcasted live via KWPN.tv.

Two stallions showed their capabilities in the Z/ZZ-L class during the Anemone Horse Trucks Stallion Competition Dressage 2021/2022. Hans Peter Minderhoud and GLOCK’s Taminiau (s.GLOCK’s Toto Jr.) are now in the lead with 92 points.  The black GLOCK’s Toto Jr.-offspring GLOCK’s Taminiau (out of Vitamin C elite pref prest PROK by Sandro Hit) is bred by J.W. Holtland of IJsselmuiden and registered at GLOCK HPC NL BV of Oosterbeek. Judge member Janine van Twist commented on the test upon completion: “GLOCK’s Taminiau is a lovely and very complete horse. The walk is spacious with great body-use towards the hand and lots of freedom in the shoulder. The trot also displays much tritt and go. This also pays off in the half-passes. In the extensions he could show slightly more strength from the hindquarters. We currently find the canter to be his best gait. He canters uphill with lots of power, including in the changes.” The stallion received a 9.5 for the canter, submission and general impression, resulting in a total of 92 points.  Jheronimus   Kirsten Brouwer presented the Dream Boy-son Jheronimus in the ZZ-Licht class. Jheronimus (out of A.Bertje ster pref prest PROK by Jazz) is bred and owned by W.P.S. van Weert of Beesd. “She started off with an impressive trot, which is the best gait of this horse. The trot has power, expression and great body-use. The latter also stands out in the walk. In the canter he displays good rhythm and ability to package his stride. He could be slightly more consistent in the exercises”, explains Janine van Twist. The stallion received a 9 for the canter, submission and general impression, bringing the total to 89 points.

The first class of the Anemone Horse Trucks Stallion Competition Dressage 2021/2022 has finished! Three Gelder stallions kicked it off in Kronenberg. Mandienio WL (s.Glamourdale), Mexpression (s.Expression) and Markant BK (s.Wilson) were up for the battle. Chairman of the judges Marloes van der Velden tells: “We have seen three lovely tests of the Gelder stallions. These are three work-willing horses that move with a lot of power and they all let themselves be ridden in an unruffled manner.” Mandieno WL Mandienio WL (out of Widieni keur sport-dres by Parcival) was the first and only stallion to be presented in harness. The Glamourdale-son, bred by K. and J.J. Pestman from Winsum, showed a clean test. He was driven by the registered owner Alfons Engbers. “We as a jury have enjoyed ourselves. If you look at the test in its entirety, you see he stands out in his movement mechanism. He has such pure gaits, and the canter is his strongest aspect at the moment. He gladly lets himself be presented and is very obedient. In the rideability he still has some steps to take, but he is clearly willing to work”, says judge Etiënne Raeven afterwards. Both the canter and the functionality of the conformation were valued at a 9. The total score was 83 points.  Mexpression The Expression-offspring Mexpression (out of Colinda ster PROK by Koss) showed a strong performance. The stallion is bred by H.A. Bruil of Terborg and registered to B. Verwaijen of Eerbeek and J.D. Jonker of Apeldoorn. He was presented by Dennis Ausma. “We thought he was neatly presented. He moved through the arena with lots of self-carriage, power and elasticity. He demonstrated lovely extensions and easily collected on the hind leg. In the trot he missed the connection from the hind leg to the forehand at times. The walk has good rhythm and freedom in the shoulder. In the canter he also displayed his ability for extensions and collections”, commented judge Janine van Twist afterwards. The stallion received a 9 for the walk, canter, submission and general impression, bringing the total up to 89 points.  Markant BK Markant BK (out of Wiezelma ster pref by Sirius) demonstrated his rideability under Jean-René Luijmes. The Wilson-son is bred by L.W.M. Kollenburg of Best and is registered to B. Verwaijen of Eerbeek. “Markant BK was also presented in a nice manner. The walk is spacious and pure in which he beautifully follows the hand. The trot shows a good rhythm and lots of power. The extensions may be more fluent. The canter stands out in his powerful jump and elasticity”, explains Janine van Twist after the test. The Gelder stallion was awarded 8.5s for the walk and canter, raising the total to 81 points.  Results Photo Mexpression: Eva van den Adel
