Olaf and Zoë Secure an Impressive 3rd Place with 80%!

Today, we traveled to the far north—not to our familiar Friesland, but to Groningen. We competed at the International Indoor Concours Hippique Groningen 2024-2025, where Olaf participated in the 3rd selection round of the KWPN Stallion Competition.

What a magnificent venue and wonderfully organized event! It was an amazing experience to perform among so many fantastic horses, riders, and the enthusiastic audience.

With a fantastic 3rd place and a remarkable score of 80%, including an impressive 8.8 for the walk, we are incredibly proud of Zoë and Olaf. Olaf has only been with us for six months, and before that, he was trained for driving. The difference in strength compared to the top horses that claimed 1st and 2nd place is noticeable, but strength is something we can definitely work on!

With this performance, we have qualified for the KWPN Stallion Show Finals at the end of January. We are very much looking forward to competing there and giving it our all at this spectacular event.

After the finals, we’ll roll up our sleeves and work even harder. During the outdoor season, we aim to show what Olaf and Zoë are truly capable of. That 1st place? It’s absolutely within reach!

From Baby to Powerhouse!

We just received new photos of our amazing stallion, Francis Drake, and we couldn’t be prouder! Last year, he joined us as a “gentle giant,” even though he was already over 3 years old. Some boys just take a bit longer to grow up… and apparently, the same goes for...
