We were up bright and early this morning. With Frits, our talented stallion, we headed to Friesland for the IBOP. 🐴 Armed with a healthy dose of ambition, because Frits is a true sports talent, we were hopeful for a good performance. 🍀

We were almost the last to go. Due to some shifts with the participants, we took Frits out of the trailer too early and had to warm him up longer than we wanted. ⏱️

Zoë and Frits entered the ring and did what they had to do. The test went well, although we, who know Frits well, could see that the prolonged warm-up took its toll. But even with that minor setback, they managed to score an impressive 77 points! 🌟 This means that Frits can now add the AA predicate to his name. A result that we are incredibly proud of. ❤️

We are training hard with Frits, as we have big goals in mind. And this AA? It leaves us craving for more. We plan to go for the AAA next year. 🔜🏆 But for now, we are basking in the joy of this beautiful score. 🥂

Coming home, we can’t help but feel grateful. The well-wishes poured in this morning and we deeply appreciate them. 💌 We always read every message and wish, and it means a lot to us that everyone is so involved with us. It’s really super cool to see how many people are supporting us. 😊

Thank you to everyone who took the time to congratulate us. Your support gives us even more energy and motivation to continue and achieve new successes with Frits. 💪 On to the next challenge! 🚀
