In April 9yo Rammstein (Diamant de Semilly) and 16yo Adam Goszczynski left Poland for the Czech Republic (Zduchvice) for their first Nations Cup as a Junior.

In the 135 warm up everything went as planned and they started of with confident clear round. The Nations Cup on 140 level was riden on day two and Rammstein was scheduled as third combination for team Poland.

In a difficult and sensitive course only 7 combinations out of 24 came through clear. Adam and Rammstein were on their way to produce a clear round up untill the final difficult line. Rammstein was startled by sounds on the side of the arena and refused to enter the triple combination. An elimination followed and Adam and Rammstein became the scrap result of a further outstanding polish Junior team. Because of the clear rounds of the other 3 riders Poland still secured the top spot after round 1.

Adam managed to retain the focus and entered the ring again for round 2. Rammstein jumped his heart out, tackling the first so difficult line from round 1 with ease and the finished strong with only 4 penalties. Speaking of a comeback ! Due to their result the 4th rider of the team didn’t even have to start because first place was already theirs and they couldn’t be overtaken anymore.

After a day of rest and enjoyment of that gold medal it was time for the CSI-J GP on Sunday. After their strong comeback 2 days earlier Adam and Rammstein, rightly so, were beaming with self-confidence. In a field of 40 competitors only 13 combinations left the ring without faults and our favorite combination was one of them.

Adam and Rammstein went all-in in the jump-off: rode fast, took risks and brought home a more than well-deserved 3rd place in their first CSIO-GP. It was definitely a show to remember for aswell their team as our stable.

Catching up on the results of our past and present horses is something we definitely need to be doing ! Here it goes in a tidy chronological order …

After his Italian adventure Alexander (Andiamo) returned back to Belgium for some rounds on homesoil. This sporty gelding keeps showing progress and quality. We believe in him very strong and keep  giving him the time to grow and to gain all the experience he needs.

A former horse that really stepped up his game is 9yo Rammstein T (Diamant de Semilly). As a preparation for the nations cup 2 weeks later Rammstein T and his 16yo rider Adam Goszczynski attented a national show in Poznan. For the first time they entered a 145GP en totally smashed it with a 3rd place. How the Nations Cup treated them later on is something you’ll read in a next summary.

Another youngster still going strong and jumping clear rounds is 6yo Archie T (Asca Z). He is recieving his education in Austria and seems to be on schedule jumping nice, solid 125 rounds.

Without a doubt the best ambassador for our stable at the moment is 8yo Clarisse T (Chacfly). After truly finding her way in the showring after some weeks in Oliva (Spain) she presented 3/3 clear rounds in the CSIYH of Peelbergen. Two weeks later she copied that result in the CSIYH of Sentower and became the talk of the town by finishing of with an impressive round and jump-off in the final and finishing 3rd.

If you weren’t aware yet, outdoor season has now definitely started and with 5 T-horses competing this past weekend we had a lot of follow up to do.

First up was the youngest of the bunch: 5 year old Cezar T who made his international debut competing in the CSIYH at Sentower Park. This gelding by Colorit Z did a decend job with nice and steady rounds. 

Next is another international debutant: 6 year old Celia T by Chaccoon Blue. She prooved to undoubtfully holds all the talent you need but needs some work in managing all her temper and spice. We are confident that she will find her way and are prepared to give her all the time she needs.

On to a national show then, at the Gold League in Bonheiden we found 2 of our breedingproducts on the startlist.

Friday we saw 8 year old Clarisse T by Chacfly jumping on belgian soil again after her trip to Oliva. Clarisse, who is the half-sister of early mentioned Cezar, delivered a clean and easy double clear round in the 130.

Saturday 11 year old Pistache T by Armitage kicked off her outdoor season. The chesnut mare demonstrated a perfect clear round in the 145 GP. Same as with Celia we never had any doubts over the talent this mare holds but it was quit the journey to have all that talent pointing in the right direction and with the right temper. We are really happy that she has now found her place and can show what she’s got.

For the fifth horse we head over to the Toscana Tour in Italy cause 7 year old Alonso T by Andiamo is starting his summer season abroad. With 2/3 clear rounds in his first week there he did definitely not disappoint and we look forward seeing more of him. 

Another horse worth mentioning is 6 year old Alexander T by Andiamo who just got back from 2 weeks Gorla Minore, Italy. Alexander (a half-brother of Pistache) is our rough diamond, he shows great potential (and progress!) but needs his time to get stronger. This gelding is definitely one we truly believe in.

Recently we are getting quite busy following up on the results of the T-horses in the international ring, let's line them up:

First up is Pistache T DVE, about a year ago this bloody mare appeared in the international show ring with a new rider and stable, Dennis Cauberghs representing Dutch Valley Equestrian. What a year it has been for this pair, from debuting on 135 till their first placings in 145 courses, Pistache T DVE has prooved to belong at this level. 

Another horse we are keen to follow is youngster Alonso T, a 7 year old by Andiamo. Last summer it was dutchman Frank Schuttert who took over the reins and since then Alonso is delivering clear round after clear round. In their 12 international starts, no less than 10 rounds were finished without any fault ! 

A new international horse with a special backstory is Clarisse T, an 8 year old mare by Chackfly. Clarisse was sold by us as 3 year old, for years she combined giving foals with showing at regional shows. In september of last year it was time to take a step up in her sporting career and in november she was discovered by Team Philippaerts. Right now she is already competing with their team at MET Oliva showing great potential. It's very impressive to see the progress this mare has made in such a short time.
