Jeroen wins the national young ponies, in the Series D 5 year olds with Amethist!

Good work from our nephew Jeroen De Winter! On Saturday night he had to walk around his other nephews and nieces at the Fort of St-Katelijne-Waver, where Julie ended first, and in the even younger Thibeau (2nd).
It was a very strong performance of all 12 of them to finish the 1.8 km!
The twins who’re 4, did 50 meters in the car, but next to that it was beautiful to see!
This morning Jeroen felt his muscles, and he noticed that he just did some different than any other day. But then again he started to do what he does so well, with his pony direction the show. And today was the national competition in Hulsterlo. With Amethist he won the class of the 5-year-old ponies (size D).

Who also did his best this weekend again is Wrangler. At the four-star competition in Bourg-en-Bresse, he participated 3 times and ended 3 times in the top 8.
Sadly, he had one mistake on Saturday night in the speed class otherwise they would’ve ended on a 2nd place…., but still a 6th place in the end!
Even today in a class that counts for the FEI ranking, again a clear round, good for place 8.
Wrangler is our first horse with a fan page on Facebook, neatly kept by Nancy Van Hoof, a very cool idea. On his first week he has already 90 fans.
The class this morning was won by Philippe Lejeune and Leo du Prailail.
