Marnick Spits gets experience in his first 1.40m GP CSI juniors, thanks to Valence DH Z !
We have been on the international show for children, juniors and youngriders last weekend in Azelhof Lier.What an experience for our two sons Marnick and Thibeau Spits. Really grateful to see our horses Abine, Tennessee D'Horset and Valence DH Z doing everything to bring them safely to the finish, and making all effort trying to stay clear all the way!
Our son Marnick didn't jump a 1.30m class in his life two weeks ago. Then he had to chance to take Valence DH Z last week to Bonheiden and this week to Lier. It was going really fast, because we know Valence (Va-Vite x Toulon) has got a wonderful mentality and has got all the scope.
Patrik was thinking it was a good idea, to do the inscription for the 1.40m Grand Prix in Lier. Till he walked the course, and he has seen for himself, that Marnick didn't have enough experience to bring that to a good end.
But so proud of what they showed to us. It was quite a difficult start, but we have seen really good things during the course.
Now Patrik can take back Valence DH Z for himself, but the experience for Marnick during the past 2 weeks will be very important for himself.
We have got the full brother of this Valence DH Z in the internet auction. Valthery DH Z has got also some experience till 1.35m level. He only came back some weeks ago from France, but we know he will also be a good horse for every rider.
Till now, it seems his talent is not discovered yet, but no problem for us.
The same happened last year at the previous auction with the horse Tennessee d'Horset, now 8 years old. There was no interest in buying her, so she stayed. We never made a problem out of it, because we knew she could please a rider. How happy have we been last 2 weeks, when she jumped both 1.25m Grand Prix Children of Bonheiden and Lier with Thibeau, with just one fault..
Some other talents are not discovered so far. Try to find it for yourself.. Two wonderful D Poneys Orchid's Gail, and Kantje's Ferdi have got experience till 1.10m and 90cm level. Also Petit Whoopy (1.29m, Vedet vd Vondelhoeve) will be succesful later, and is now ready for 70 cm.
There is the half sister of Viking (Michael Whitaker), recently second in Grand Prix CSI**** 's Hertogenbosch, with Claire de Kalvarie. We agree that she has got a bit of character, but also lots of talent, she might be a good breeding mare as well.
Another horse that 's looking for a good rider is Vandokan DH Z, out of the olympic mare Citizenguard Cadjanine Z. For sure he needs an experienced rider who can make time for him.
There are some other horses who can easily suit any rider. Only a few hours left to find out which one could be the perfect one for you. If you would need more information, you can contact us by phone.
